(no subject)

I'm tired, but thanks to my nap, not falling-over-asleep yet. I'm in my pajamas. I haven't eaten well today - some cereal, some italian wedding soup, and some popcorn. i haven't had enough to drink either. i expect to wake up feeling thirsty, probably in the middle of the night.

We went to Target, primarily to pick up some things we needed and some things for my grandmother. We got her a boom box and a couple of classical cds, the only ones we could find. My mother was quite the laggard... lingered in every aisle. She got the new special edition Mummy DVD, and I got The Big Lebowski, which is one of my favorite movies ever. I got a strange "stained-glass" lightbulb, and a picture frame with eyes that open and close on the top of it. It is quite the curiousity.

Then I went to the bookstore for soup, which was blah. Little chicken sausage meatball things in it, but it was all they had and I was hungry. Why do I live in a town that closes up at 5PM on weekends? I looked at a fantastico book called retro desserts that had things like swan-shaped creampuffs in it.

i'm waiting for jonathan creek to come on. it's one of those strange dweeby little addictions. i had a friend who watched night court with slavish faith. i have lots of friends who do the same with law and order. i don't get it, but come sunday night you will find me lined up in front of a british mystery show featuring a wisecracking plump young writer girl and her nerdy holmes, who designs magic tricks and is portrayed by a popular stand-up comic. even though i would not be caught dead watching murder, she wrote or matlock (*shudder*).

Oooooops!!!! :-X I can say no more. (Actually, I can't since I sort of listened to it for the first 50 minutes and had no bloody idea what was going on and then just watched the last 10 minutes in case anyone had a Really Tragic Death)

Scully gave birth to a quilted shrimp headed welder with pods though. ;-) (Sorry, that's an OLD Eric Idle joke and no one else ever gets it...)
