Try to keep it together, you try your best to forget her
Because it is possible that my boss might walk in at any moment (what's up with bosses coming to the office anyway, they should really stop that) I am typing this in NOtepad and then I'll paste it in.
During my long weekend, what I did was mostly watch TV... wait, that's everyday. But anyway, what I caught:
- Most of an episode of the original, British "Touching Evil." I'd like to see more of it, I guess, but I still prefer Jeffrey Donovan. And Vera Farmiga.
- More of "The Sopranos." I wish my mob boyfriend would buy me a nightclub.
- The "Wifeswap" marathon on ABC Family. Man, I hate that I'm into this show. The thing I like best about it is ridiculing both families... because there's always one too strict, one too lenient. One too loud, one too boring, etc. Can't these people find a middle ground? I guess no one would watch if they did.
- "Red Eye", which my mom rented from the video store... I surpisingly liked this movie a lot. Cillian Murphy gives me nightmares.
I decided to have one resolution in 2006, after all: Watch more movies. I used to be all about movies and not-much on TV. Now I'm pretty much the opposite. I resolve to now see at least one movie in the theaters each month, and at least two that I haven't seen at home.
Last TV bit for the entry: Epitafios. All I can say is OH. MY. GOD. These Argentinians know how to do a thriller. After what happened last week, I thought, "No way can he (the killer) top that." And last night, he did. I'm getting chills just thinking about it.
My boss is now here, but on a conference call... that's the only time I can be sure he won't suddenly pop in. The first thing he did when he came in a few minutes ago was to ask me if I would move his car to the auto shop "next door" (it's actually down the street, he refers to everything as next door). Okay, he drives a brand new BMW... I drive a teenaged, dented, different-colored-drivers-door Jeep. He should probably not trust me... but yeah, I didn't feel good about that, so I didn't do it.
In fact, I'm not feeling good about this job (again) in general. A couple of days ago, he was itchy (ugh) and wanted me to call his dermatologist to make an appointment. I was near leaving-time and asked if he wanted me to call before I left. "Nah, we'll wait till tomorrow." Tomorrow was yesterday, and I left before he got back from the dentist, so I don't know if he made it or not. My thoughts... call your own damn doctor, dammit.
Oh yeah, another resolution: Be more girly. I have approximately a million beauty products such as lotions and perfumes and nail polishes that I don't use nearly enough... so now I must*. Today I'm wearing Coty's Wild Musk, and my nails are painted. The bottle says "Pastel Pink" but it's really light and iridescent (sp?). I used to do my nails religiously every week, but the last few years it's been hit-or-miss... mostly miss.
*I need to wear all of my jewelry more often too. At least I gave a bunch away when I went to the Goodwill this last time.
Today I read an annoying letter in "Dear Abby" from some guy who was scolding her about her response to some other guy, who complained his girlfriend never picked him up at the airport or something. The guy who wrote today said men shouldn't encourage or permit women to do such travelling alone at night because of carjackers, rapists etc. Excuse me - permit? Sorry, asshole, the days of treating women like children or property is over. You're not too much lower on the scum scale than those others you're worried about.
Yesterday I came in to work late, but first I dropped by (or tried to), Fashion Bug... but they weren't open until ten. Most people need to be at work by nine or earlier; so should you. Eh, maybe it's a good thing... because next week my mom and I will hopefully go check out all these neat stores in downtown Antioch. I didn't buy hardly anything last time because I wasn't working, but now I am.
The weather yesterday was wacky. Rain, then sun, rain, sun, and so on. I wasn't sure how long I'd be at work so I actually went out to grab lunch. I would have gotten something good, but it was raining and I didn't want to leave my car, so I went through the drive-thru at McDonalds. I got a cheeseburger and the large fries... which are apparently too large to put in a bag with anything else. They were nice and salty though.
Hopefully I'm not here too long today, either. I was ready for this week to be over, like, as soon as it started.
And why has no one hit up the tagboard? Actually, I'm not surprised... it is kind of sketchy-looking... and it ate a couple of test posts I made. Maybe you guys are saying really awesome, sweet things and I don't realize it. Or maybe my last few posts have been as shallow and un-commentable as I suspected. Note to self: blog better entries.
