mmm, starbucks
Nov. 21st, 2005 11:04 amI actually slept so much this weekend that I could not fall asleep last night, and now I'm freakin' exhausted at work. Hopefully the gingerbread latte will help.
Everything that I wanted to happen this weekend, did not. The only thing that went without a hitch was me taking my boyfriend to see his new favorite band on Friday.
One nice thing that was not planned was getting to know Kate, although the way that went about was also less than optimal.
I read Dry and it made me want to drink a lot and smoke a bunch of crack. Funny thing was, right when I was on the crack-smoking part, Reg was burning pizza in the toaster oven, so I got really weirded out.
This weekend makes me thing that I should actually become a hermit instead of talking about it.
edit: Also the Simpsons last night was pretty good. They are really going back to the roots, it feels like.
