There is a pot luck at work today--in some ways fortunate, because I didn't have time to pack lunch this morning and I need to stop eating out, but also unfortunate because I didn't bring anything, and now I feel bad. Also, someone brought in a delicious-smelling chili-esque thing that is sitting in a crockpot by my desk. It smells unbelievably good. Which is only making me feel worse about not bringing anything.
Spent the weekend with Jon at his new apartment, which is somewhat surprisingly nice. By that I mean he put some effort into decorating it and making it look nice, in an adult way, instead of a just-out-of-college kind of way. For instance, the furniture is all new instead of bought at a garage sale. He also thought about color when he bought it, so it all basically matches. He even bought throw pillows for the couch.
Went to the zoo and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You will never ever guess who we walked by at the latter. Danny DeVito. And Rhea Perlman. It was a little weird and insane. Danny DeVito is ridiculously short in person. I mean, he's short in movies, but he is really freaking short. We just kind of walked by them, and there was a big-ish group around them, so nothing super exciting, but an interesting story to tell.
The Cleveland Zoo currently has five elephants. I love elephants. They are majestic and awesome. Unfortunately it was Memorial Day weekend, and everyone and their dog was at the zoo, so the whole place was just a mess of families with small children and strollers everywhere. It's kind of difficult to be happy about thousands of small children running around and getting in the way and crying.
Topped off the weekend by seeing Bridesmaids, which I liked a lot, but it kind of made me sad about the direction my life is going in. I mean, the stuff that happened to Kristen Wiig's character would be pretty awful, but in some ways she still had more going for her than I do. There's so much distance between me and most of my good friends, and the one friend I still have in town is either too busy or just doesn't care enough to do anything with me anymore.
I don't even know if I'll still have a job next month.
