Weekend Review
I'm about ready to scurry off to the other job, but I think I should update about my weekend. It started off okay as I remember. I got home a little bit early, after my dad and I went to the Insurance Office to put me on the plan and then to the mechanic's to make an appointment for the Volvo (which I think I should nickname Mulva (Volvo always reminds me of that Seinfeld)). After coming home to a diet pepsi, I watched the Food Network for like, hmmm I don't know, most of the night. My mom brought home Chinese food, which I greatly enjoy (especially dumplings and wonton soup). Then we went out to the hospital to get her ultrasound. While I waited, I was fortunate enough to watch this murder mystery show, which turned out to be pretty intriguing, we later stopped into Borders, got a mocha type beverage and was, as usual, disappointed by it.
At home I popped in Closer. Alright, maybe I can make a sound judgement on the movie now. I don't like much about the film, maybe just some of the acting and how hott Natalie Portman is, but realistically, its not realistic. I simply can't believe that people go around cheating on each other that much, it just doesn't seem possible to me that people are actually that philandering. Then the guy hits her, well I don't know. There was just so much commotion about how the dialogue and the movie were real, but I couldn't see the humanity in the plot.
Then Matt called, and it was really nice to talk to him. I've got to say, as much as I try to make it seem like I can put up the good fight, sometimes I'm just so miserable and lonely that it seems like July will never come. Weekdays go by quickly, its just the weekends that seem to drag on and on.
Continuing, Saturday I got up and walked over to Gold Dust farms to take my riding lesson. It was a longer walk than I expected, but it was warm and sunny for the first time in a long while. I rode a horse named Sandman. It was a pretty intense lesson I must say, but I think by the end of the summer I should be getting better and I think I might make the Brown team, with any luck. I walked back home, my legs all akimbo, took a shower and had some breakfast. I watched Sideways, and I also felt skeptical about that movie as well. I don't know, I thought it was a good film, but it never seemed to develop further than what we saw. Hillarious scenes though. Went to the market with my mom. It was a shopping adventure. Got back home, Michelle called and we went back to her house. Met up with Kyle and his girlfriend, who is a really sweet girl, and chilled. It was a good time, the cake was delicious.
Afterwards I went home and fell asleep almost immediately. Woke up and the family travelled to Belmont Park. I like to go to Belmont because we hang out and watch races and I get to watch ponies. I think its always a good time. I won three races, all the equivalent of not that much money, but wins none the less. Went to Chili's then home and I watched The Man Who Cried. This week I picked three movies, that when I think about it don't make too much sense. Johnny Depp was excellent and attractive and there were some pretty sultry scenes, but I just didn't get it. The title is off, the plot was off and I felt like nothing actually happened in the movie. Oh well.
Monday I was bored out of my mind. Watched a lot of Bobby Flay's Boy Meets Grill. I like that show, plenty of meat, and grilling vegetables and other items. Generally pretty good food. Decided I was too bored even for television and convinced my mom that we should go to target and get my remaining few movies from Blockbuster. I did that, and then went home to watch In Good Company. Good movie, bad ending. Ate dinner and watched Alfie, which was good again, but another bad ending.
Now I am at work. I have to go to the other work in a minute, I might decide that I will just take the rats out or something. I haven't really thought about it yet. I'm reading David Sedaris' Naked. Its pretty good so far. Tonite I am going walking around the track at the Middle School. Every time I look in the mirror I hate myself a little more, so I've really got to do something about it.
Hope all is well with you Matt. I miss and love you.
