Happy Saturday
Bored, bored, bored. I really wish I had The Office season 3 to watch right about now, but I didn't buy it because The Boy did, damnit. And it's at his place, while he's in California. Bah.
Speaking of him, he called last night to rave about Into the Wild, the new Sean Penn film based on the Jon Krakauer book. It was also exciting because they filmed in some locations near where the Boy had lived in Alaska. Anyway, Ann Hornaday at the Post had some very beautiful things to say about it as well, for those who might be interested. It's not an easy film, so I hear, but it is an affecting one.
I, meanwhile, am stuck here with two dogs, no family, and a stack of books I don't know why I wanted to read in the first place. I feel like I'm going through a non-reading phase, much like the Super Librarian recently did. My new Nancy Drew game has shipped, and it would be incredible to get it today when I have nothing to do, but I won't, of course. I'm dying to get Lauren Royal's Art of Temptation and Lisa Kleypas' Mine Till Midnight (to say nothing of Iron and Wine's newest album and a Dropkick Murphys singles cd) but I am determined to wait it out til October, when I'll be able to use Rewards money. Those bucks can only cover so much, though. I mean, really. I could go buy a book and still have them to use on one of the cds. Right, I'm terrible at denying myself anything.
We'll see how long Dynasty Warriors can distract me until I cave.
Hope y'all's Saturdays are just as careless (and hopefully not as boring) as mine!
Ps: Caught the SGA premier last night--yay! It was, of course, a two-parter. Booo. Also watched Doctor Who for the first time in a while, having missed about 5 episodes, including Captain Jack's triumphant return. I tuned back in just in time for the finale next week, though. Go me.
