let Lacuna help you move on.
Mar. 21st, 2004 05:58 amToday - mom went to Cincinnati, I stayed home. We had words about this. I'll go into it another time. (Basically, she has to be considerate about leaving me to take care of the dog, especially on weekends, without even asking if I'm willing to completely curtail my social life to do so.) Hung around the house all day in an outfit that just got more and more bizarre as the day went on.
T. finally finished his to-do list by 6, and I picked him up around 7PM. We went to The Dube, which for the uninitiated in Columbus lore is The Blue Danube Diner. Downtown greasy spoon. Some of the food is unexpectedly good (I was surprised that T.'s side of rice came with herbs and little veggies in it), some is unexpectedly bad. If I can't decide what to order at a place at which I've never before eaten, I usually get a club sandwich, since they're pretty predictable and kind of hard to mess up. I didn't like my club sandwich; the turkey tasted funky. Not "bad" like "gone off", but "bad" like "a style I wouldn't buy at the deli." Next time I think I'll get a grilled cheese sandwich or something.
After that hit the movies with some time to kill, which was murdered in the Barnes and Noble magazine aisle. Sommmmmebody, who wasn't me, bought three magazines (you can bet I plan to read them). And Martha Stewart Living had a very pretty no-brainer idea for decorative eggs, which you can see on the cover of the current issue. It involves an origami-paper wrap. If you are the slightest bit crafty, you will probably not even need to see the instructions after you see the cover photo. I personally bought Bust and ReadyMade. Want the current Vogue Knitting but will probably get the momster to buy it for me. (I'm poor like the dirt!)
Then Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which was weirdly beautiful and terribly romantic and had me in tears in a few places. It did remind me of Being John Malkovich in certain ways, but smaller, more, um, realistic (if a company that erases memories can be described as such), and a lot less mean-spirited. Kate Winslet didn't even annoy me. Since Joel, Jim Carrey's character, seems to be some kind of artist, I teased T. a couple of times that the movie must be about him! (Truthfully, Joel's drawings weren't as good, and his apartment was bigggggger!)
Then home to take care of the dog, back out again to Not Go To Outland (we'd been going to go, but then we drove past it before it opened, as a coincidence while driving around, and I decided I didn't really need to go). So hung out at T's place instead, and came home when I was still awake enough to drive. And so to sleep.
