Good mail, good buys, good day, good night
A good day off today!
First, the best mail day ever. I got:
1. Some movies I ordered. Now I can watch "The Incredibles," "Pulp Fiction" and "The Nightmare Before Christmas" as much as I want. The "Nightmare" DVD also features Burton's "Vincent" and "Frankenweenie," which is ever so cool.
2. My latest ish of Esquire, the Women We Love issue. Jessica Biel has been crowned this year's Sexiest Woman Alive. Not a bad choice, I guess, among the most popular types out there.*
3. My packet from Disney Magical Express. This is a service from Walt Disney World that will pick you up from the airport, handle your bags, all that jazz.
4. relaxinawhile's birthday present.
5. And mail from Rosemary, featuring her mini-comic, "Fine Ass." And yes, it's about me. See, evelynne, you have a fellow sufferer of significant-other butt lust.
I ordered a riding crop for my Halloween costume. It just seemed like the perfect prop to it, for a night on the town in New York.
I then walked to T.J. Maxx on Farmington Avenue, which is about 2 1/2 miles from my house. I went in search of tights or knee-high socks for my Halloween costume, and I came away with those, some new jeans, a lampshade, a lamp, and a throw that matches the lamp. I ended up putting the lamp in my living room since I put the throw on my black sofa to make it more interesting. I also checked out a seasonal costume store, and found some interesting costume things I may want to pick up just to have.
And then I came home and made my pasta experiment. I cooked ground beef covered in herbs and black pepper in a pan with extra virgin olive oil, adding a clove of minced garlic about half a chopped onion. Then I threw in fresh chopped mushrooms. Then I added the marinated mushrooms, and a little balsamic vinegar. Added antipasto sweet peppers to top it off, and then poured it onto some penne rigate. It was quite good. And now my apartment smells of it. Ate that while watching "The Killing." Now it's Monday Night Football.
A good day so far. A good night, too? Perhaps.
*In the search of the Esquire cover online, I found this site with Photoshopped celeb photos to make them all fat. I know it's not anthropomorphic horse porn, babyraven, but it'll have to do. The full-figured Kate Moss makes her look damn good, actually.)
