Doesn't make a lot of sense, does it?

Vacation is almost over and I have done essentially nothing useful. It was kind of nice.

Skulked around the house Monday. I had an invite to go to the Marathon with Steven and his kids, but crowds and I aren't such good buddies. Ultimately, it was kind of chilly too, so I passed. The jackhammer fairy visited us that night, too. I assume there was a gas leak and it better have been worth it because they kept me up until 2am. Not Awesome. Originally, I was supposed to do UMass shit Tuesday, but after a lot of crankies, tireds, and a frakking jumper on the train we were on, I said the hell with it and came home to nap.

Dear UMass, I hate you lots. Please die. As of right now, I still have two IFs instead of the Ws they're supposed to be. I suppose it shall be back to ringing them.

Yesterday was great. It was warm and sunny and made of win. jesheckahlynn sent me tea, which arrived right before I headed into the city for the day. I hit all the trains perfectly. The ride was nice, my iPod was spitting out good music, and it wasn't crowded. And if I didn't mention it enough before, the weather was GORGEOUS. It had to be in the mid-80s.

I caught the last 20 minutes of Steven's classes and then we headed down to the Common and the Public Gardens so I could take pictures. As it turned out, the line for the Swan Boats wasn't bad (nor is the cost!), so we wasted a few minutes in line and took a ride. They're pretty fun, especially for the price. I also got a few nice pictures from the boats.

Because it was a game night, we opted to loiter round the city for a bit so we could avoid the influx. We ended up having dinner at Chacarero's, which we haven't been to in ages, probably since before Filene's Basement closed. It was great, as always. We still had time to kill after, so we caught up with Sam at the Green Dragon for beer and really good calmari. It was, in fact, some of the best I've had.

Today, I kicked it around here. I took almost 200 photos yesterday and dumped them today. I didn't get as much done with them as I wanted because, for some reason, iPhoto and Photoshop aren't friends this week and I can't drag and drop. I have to manually open them and the library is also being hinky, so I need to actually copy them to the desktop before I can edit them. Joy. It looks like there are some beautiful ones, though, so I'm happy. I'm going to try and post some tomorrow.

Since I walked over 2 miles yesterday, I figured I'd go out for a walk today, since it was also nice. It was a quick mile and I've walked it before, no issues. My achilles tendons did not like it at all today. I felt like I had spikes jammed up my legs. I don't know what was wrong, since I've walked it in crappier shoes before. I grabbed a coffee to ease my suffering, then came home and made with the yoga. My knee isn't exactly thanking me, but at least I haven't fallen off the exercise bandwagon this week.

Mum's first anniversary was today, so I have to get their card to them soon. Less drama about that this year.

Tomorrow is Battlestar night and Saturday, we're going to go to Grandpa's and seed his lawn/play with kittehs. I need to do laundry soon and I also need to buy shorts/capris because nothing I have either fits or it's old and I don't like how it fits. I don't know if I feel like doing that this week-end.

New icon, at least.

I'm so grumpy today and I really don't have any kind of good reason. I have reasons, but none of them are really justifiable.

I didn't get a chance to get my art supplies today. This makes me grumpy because I have a painting in my head that I really want out. I'm sure I'll be cranky when I'm working on it because I have such a clear picture of how it should look, right down to the colours I want, and it will be hard to make that mesh with the image in my head. Plus, I have another picture in the pipeline that I want. Both are going to be watercolours, which I haven't touched in ages. It's an excuse to start working up my portfolio, though, isn't it?

pinkandsilver, bosbullterrier, and I went to the magical land of Borders last night, officially because I am a fat kid and wanted a belly dancing video since until I find a paying job, classes are out. I is broke. I had a choice between the crazy twins and the slutty redhead; I went with the crazy twins since I've heard of them. I tried it out for the first time this afternoon and holy muffin, it kicked my butt. More correctly, actually, it kicked my arms. I have the weakest arms ever, mostly because I can only lift so much before my shoulders actually start pulling out of their sockets. It's also disgusting how much my joints crack and grind. Stupid arthritis.

Nicki and I spent a good amount of time both mocking current kids books and talking about the ones that we loved. I actually picked up copies of both The Westing Game and The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle since both of mine went by the wayside and/or fell apart from way too much reading.

Then, while I was running my mouth (what else is new?), someone came up to us and said they thought they knew us. It was one one of the kids, Chan, who used to work for us at Lids a million and five years ago. Turns out he's living the next city over from us. We spent a good two hours catching up on what he's up to (being very successful) and what we're up to (married) and made some tentative plans to go out for coffee in the next couple weeks. Nice to see my mouth is good for something. Even if I look different, I do still sound the same.

Then we mocked the State of the Onion address which is never hard. I will have to say it was nice to hear Madam Speaker. Time we finally caught up with the rest of the world, eh? Maybe the next thing we hear can be Madam President. And it will so be Laura Roslin. Hahaha.

I did nothing today besides prove that losing weight does not equal being in shape. I should call my mum because I haven't spoken to her yet. My great aunt is in the hospital, so I kind of also want and update on that. Steven's sleeping, so I had the last half of yesterday's sub for dinner because I don't cook. I had a Pop-Tart for lunch. I kind of also feel like I should be cleaning the bathtub because it's really grimy. Not that it would last if I did, which is probably why I'm not doing it.

I'm still loving the fringe. I finally have doing it down to a science, so I am only forced to wear my hat because of the frakking weather and not because I have no motor skills. I found my hobo gloves yesterday, too, so it's all around good. Now I just need to find where my paycheque went so I can cash it/pay bills.

Oh, so when did Tyra Banks become "fat"? Because I thought she looked really good, but perhaps I don't know anything.

I went to the mad gym this morning to get my new fitness schedule. Hopefully, when I check back in, 3 months from now, I will be 15 pounds thinner and in better shape. The pool is way nicer than Webb's. I could actually swim in it without my skin  burning. Their whirlpool is way cleaner, too. I was able to sit in it for 15 minutes after my laps without feeling like a boiled potato.

Don't even get me started on the steam room. Sweet jesus, it's great. My lungs feel a hundred million times better than they did before and I generally feel boneless.

So, yep... This reminds me of why I wanted to join the gym in the first place. Plus, I can take yoga and pilates  if I want and it's all included in the membership. Mind you, this is $12 more than I was paying.

Does warming KY sound really gross to anyone else? I mean, why warm it. It's not like vaginas are really cold.... unless you're fucking the dead.... in which case, yea, go ahead and use that warming lube.

"Shit honey, your cunt is like ice tonight. Maybe we should use the warming lube!"

KY makes me all itchy and burny during sex anyhow. WET bothers me to. I'm evidently allergic to everything.

I want piggie pajamas! I'm watching Bridget Jones and that girl has wicked cute piggie pajamas. I've got some, too, but the top is too small for my bust. Damned small tops.

I'm starving. We're going out to lunch with Donna, but Steven's still showering. I'm going to start chewing on the couch if he's not out soon. Meh, I suppose I could nibble on leftovers.

I'm dead tired. I can't imagine why, because I took an hour and a half nap today after school and I actually got more than 5 hours of sleep last night. I wasn't up all that late, either. Anyhow, I didn't actually get to the gym tonight, but we did walk three miles to and from Stop and Shop tonight, rather than driving. That's the good thing about autumn: it's not too hot or too cold to walk places. My feet are a little sore, but no where near as sore as they were yesterday from working all day. I get to do this again tomorrow, from 11 until 3:30. Evidently, the girl who's training me tomorrow is kind of spastic, so I have to come in at 11 instead of 10.

The job will be fine when I actually can work alone. I always hated training, except at Lids. I honestly like working by myself in a dead store. I can sit down, do homework, or read, which is a lot better than traipsing around after someone who's basically giving me, partially, a refresher course on how to run a cash register. Bleh.

My shoulders are so stiff from going to the gym yesterday. I seriously wish that I could have used the hot tub yesterday, but not only is it too hot, but the water was yellow because it needed to be changed. I don't think I could have been paid enough to get in there. I'm kind of creeped out by the pool, as well, but for totally different reasons. At least the pool is clean... it's just hyper-chlorinated to the point where my skin itches when I get out.

I forgot to ask about changing the cheques for my gym membership. Dammit. Must remember to do that next time I get to the gym.

What else did I do today...? I rewrote a couple parts of my paper that the professor asked be corrected. I took the two tests I had. I napped... I walked a couple miles. I really managed to do absolutely nothing.

I should take the couple glasses out of my room. They've been here since this morning and I've noticed a couple fruit flies in the kitchen. I do not want them in here.

Ooh, looks like the Marlins are in the playoffs. Cubs won their game. Dodgers are playing now.

I'm going to go do something, like drink more root beer
