jasmine

sick day #2: i had a lovely day (inspite being congested, coughy, runny nose, itchy eyes and so on). al dropped off my new kitchen table bright and early. its a really great table. thanks so much al!! its really narrow but has this leaf so it folds open to be a square table. its also just a really interesting wood table, very pretty really. i went back to bed for several hours, then got up and had breakfast at my new table!! and finished memoirs of a of a gesha. finally. it was good. it was different than the movie, more details and stuff. i really liked it. my next books is this book on swearing beckie lent me. or maybe i'll read he's just not that into you since its shorter. ya, i'm sure i could get it done quite quickly because i've already started it.

my kat is mental.

melissa didn't have to work today so she came over to keep me company. i had a really nice time with her. we sat on my balcony drinking tea and eating british chocolate. than she just hung out in my room with me while i unpacked more stuff. i invited her to stay for dinner and she helped me out as i cooked. i'm excited because she was my very first dinner guest at my new place, and now that i think of it, one of my only dinner guests at pine street as well! anyway, i appreciated how easy-going she is as i found myself appologizing for my cooking short-comings quite a lot. she put me at ease and made me feel more comfortable with the thought of having dinner guests more often. we very much enjoyed my new table and we giggled as we sat there chatting. i like that i sat there eating with my one leg drapped over the corner of the table and melissa didn't comment even if she thought it was rude of me (i don't know if she did, but she didn't say anything).

tonight i went with alison to see hawksley workman. it was funny because neither of us were very familar with him, and were relaxed about what time we arrived. unfortunately, it apparently started on time, so we only caught the last hour. oh well, we had a good time. the whole time i was thinking "this guy totally reminds me of lee casement" then at the end when the lights came up i saw lee, suzanne and lindsay up at the front. so ironic. i saw several other nexters there and todd too. he put on a good show, and was pretty funny. i found his stories amusing.

i don't think any of us can speek frankly about pain until we are no longer enduring it.

Hawksley put on a great show! We took his set list after the show, and he was going to play "Smoke Baby" as an encore, but apparantly he ran out of time from all of his story-telling.

hahaha, thanks melissa.

interesting. the whole encore concept is so strange. planing for an encore. so weird, and yet so common.

i must say... i hate this book!! this "he's just not that into you" book. instead of reading, i feel like i'm being beaten with a crowbar. it makes me so mad and it makes me feel like crap. however, the guy does throw in comments like "You, the superfox reading this book, are worth asking out." which makes me giggle and think "damn straight". all in all, i can't wait til i'm finished it. although, it does confirm why i don't have the time of day for ANY guy.
