Friday the 13th. WTF

  • Fender bender less than one mile away from work. RRRRR! This was the first time ever I hit someone (i've made it til 25!) but my bumper has a bit of blemish, since i decided to hit a pick up trucks compared to say, a mini cooper. My poor baby.
  • tastespotting.com shut down until further notice. Went to get my daily fill of food porn to be met with a note from the notcot.org owners stating that it was not under their domain control anymore. What the hell?
  • i have such awful gas. i'm very sorry for this news.

Other than that the day has been fine. It's crawling along at a snail's pace, but whatevs. It's friday! Tomorrow I am BBQ'ing for friends and family and on Sunday another BBQ at my cousins for Father's Day.

Also, in exciting news of other people's lives, one of my oldest friends (oldest meaning I've known them for a while- since I was 6 actually) and best friends has decided to take the plunge with her boyfriend. Happy news! I will be taking on the role of bridesmaid along with Megha; her older sister will be her Matron of Honor. Even bigger news? It's going to be next month!!! Crazy, huh? But, she has everything planned pretty much- she's probably planned since forever, so I think it's going to be great! I'm excited about helping to plan yet another shower and bacholorette night. I'm going into wedding over drive, which isn't exactly good for me. I love to plan parties and entertain, and I already have many ideas to when I finally take that step in my life. It's a bit sick.

Perhaps I will post excerpts from my 'Binder of Crazy', which is a collection of several years worth of pictures, articles, etc pulled from magazines and the internets of things I just like. There is a section on house ideas, food things, clothes, jewelry, make up, hair, health, etc, but also the section -Possible ideas for major life events for myself (or people I know). Included is bridal shower ideas, wedding ideas, my idea for my perfect wedding dress, and other things. In my head, it will all be awesome; hand it off to my friends and all the questions are answered for them. I've decided later in my life I am indeed a bit of a control freak. Oh well.

SATC/BSG=enough TV abbreviations to fill up my Netflix with.

Last night, Beth and I had our customary dinner date. We try to meet up every month or so for dinner and banter about our adult lives- the ups, downs, and everything in between. We changed it up and got some Middle-eastern/Mediterranean food at Evelyn's in the Bruns, which was mostly a ghost town, except for the summer stand-bys and locals. After enjoying some taro milk bubble tea ( I haven't had it in quite a long time) and a run in with Steve D. (who was surprised and almost a bit too pleased to know that the new College Pharmacy once held a laundromat...) Beth and I decided to go see Sex and the City The Movie. She is the fan- I remember her and Susie watching a beat up VHS season in our living room- also it was the same time SATC came on TBS.

I never watched SATC, save the times I had to watch it for some gender class I took my senior wintersession. It was the same time the super crazy boxed set came out, and one of the girls in my class had it. So after our lesson, we would stick around and watch a couple of episode, cos my TA was cool like that. I enjoyed what I watched, but I guess since I never had HBO I never got into it.

Anyway, I think I'm long over due for some SATC! Seriously! Apparently the outfits aren't as fabulous in the beginning, but who doesn't dream about living it up in Manhattan and having lots of cute clothes? I know I do all the time. Do people who live outside the NY metro area think that everyone lives such fabulous lives? I wonder, I wonder. I've just added seasons 1-6 on my Netflix queue. It'll have to battle out Battlestar Galactica (another tv show that I'm just getting into courtesy of my nerd guy friends), which I'm finishing up season 1 with (tonight!).

Would Carrie Bradshaw think Lee Adama was cute? Questions, questions.
