Bleak and I like to save a little bit of money by trading our magazine subscriptions when we're done with them. I think I get the better end of this deal. She gets my Marie Claires, Luckys, and US mags; I get her Real Simples and SELFs. I think we've been doing this for over two years. After continually reading her SELF mags, I've been spurred to join the Self Challenge this year. I weigh way too much for my own good. I think I've gained another few pounds since our trip to NYC. It ain't happy fat. It's just fat. What bugs me (about myself) is that I've picked up the two internships and two classes this summer. I kind of already sabotaged my own training before signing up.
Yesterday I went to the gym in my 5 year old Nikes. I had meant to throw them away when we were in Singapore (to get rid of dead weight). I forgot and brought them home. They're dead. Alas, I went out to pick up a pair of inexpensive sneakers today. Ta da. Go DSW! I got these babies for $40! Yeah! I had tried to go back to New Balance but the selection at the Pas DSW isn't so great. The models are all in the 400s, which I've had bad luck re: cushion.
Bubba came home late and I asked if he wanted to see my new shoes. He rolled his eyes and said NO. I took them out of the box anyway - ta da! He cracked that I was getting ready for the Silver Surfer. WTH? They're not that silvery. Dork. But I can't poke him too much. He bought me new highlighters and pens [Bic Round Stics - the best!] and a mini-mouse for my laptop. Whee! I'm loving this mouse. I've been using this all day today since 8 am. It's perfect for my normal-palm-but-short-fingers hand.
Agent Doggett (aka. T-1000, aka. Robert Patrick) shows up. Agent Reyes (boo on the character, yay for Annabeth Gish) gets introduced. Blah. I always thought that Scully looked younger in the later seasons than in the beginning of the series. In the beginning, she was so frumpy. Then she just kept getting better. Bigger budget, I guess. Ahhh Krycek. Nicholas Lea was a great baddie! That reminds me of the opposite of hot Krycek - the Lone Gunmen. :p
Below is a screenshot from Season 6, one of my favorite funny episodes.
Oh Bravo. I got sucked into watching the last few eps of TOP DESIGN and can't figure out how they're judging the rooms. There's a crazy person amongst the three judges - you know, the one with the faux 'fro and horrendously bad fashion. Tim Gunn needs to show up and rip that shit off her.
Then WORKOUT is back! Yeah! I do like this show even though some of the trainers are idiots. Jackie seems to be a pretty positive role model. I was so relieved to see that she broke up with Mimi - she was such a dick. I'm so sad that Doug passed away though. He was one of my faves on the show in Season 1.
Update on the boots: I got them last night at 6:fucking:30PM. They look great! They zip up too! The right boot is a little too tight though; I'm going to chalk it up to the fact that my right leg is my dominant leg. I checked Zappos and saw that there is a tan pair too! OH I AM SOOOOO TEMPTED.
Update on jeans search: I returned the Hudson jeans a while ago and kept the credit at Bluefly. I found a pair of Joe's Jeans Socialite for less than $100! I got the size 32s even though I'm a 31. I got them today and tried them on. They're a little loose, but I have high hopes that putting them in the washer and dryer will shrink it to the perfect fit. Plus I need to get them washed before I hem them. Goddamn jeans - wtf is up with the 35" inseam???????
Today's my usual "day off" from school where I stay home and do all of my homework and studying for my Wed and Thurs classes. Well, I've been bound to the apt, waiting for the fucking UPS guy to deliver my goddamn boots. I even left a note asking the neighbors to leave our security gate open. It's now 6pm and still, he is not here. Jesus. Last night, he showed up at 6:30pm and left a note saying "No one home." WTF? Bubba was home at 5:30. Fuck you, UPS. I am definitely considering a PO box that can take care of signed deliveries and shit. This is ridiculous. Don't couriers know that you don't get between a woman and her shoes. Gah. UPS kills me. DHL is right up there as well.
What's ironic is that my dad used to work for UPS... as a driver!
But I'm digressing. While perusing my usual bookmarked local blogs, I discovered there is a film festival happening this weekend! Check this out! It's the 1st Annual Subtitle Media Film Festival. And guess what's playing on Saturday afternoon? The "new" Andy Lau/Takeshi Kaneshiro movie, "Confession of Pain." Poor Takeshi, he got stuck with the character name "Bong."
A couple weeks ago I bought a sweet potato. I thought a roasted sweet potato sounded delish so today, I wrapped it in foil and stuck it in the toaster oven. :p I got bored after an hour of watching it not soften, so I took it out and put it in a pan and covered it with additional foil and broiled it. It is now 10 minutes later and I think it's burnt. Great. The apt smells like burning and heat. I guess you're supposed to cut it in slices before you broil. Eh. Good thing Trader Joe's makes vegeterian corn dogs! :p
So I decided to return these boots as well. They just looked kind of weird with so much space between my leg and boot. AUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Instead, I picked up a pair of these, which are supposed to have a 15" circumference - the exact width of my calves. Freaking A.
*head explodes*
I got rid of the Etienne Aigner boots and got these from Zappos instead!
