Reading "Survivor's Quest"
I can't believe I hated Mara Jade Skywalker when I was younger! She is such an amazing character and she and Luke are wonderful together. I'm so glad that Del Rey is killing off Luke's dozen former girlfriends in FotJ, because I would be Very Peeved if he hooked up with anyone else.

I'm trying to eat healthier! ... see, lately, I've been getting all my fruits and vegetables from V8 blends. I wish fruit and vegetables weren't so expensive. I get all my meats from Lean Cuisines and canned soups instead of cooking for myself, too, but cooking meat for one is just obnoxious because then you have to eat the leftovers for days.
I also bought a Shake Weight at Target today because the South Park episode about them made me laugh.
And I tried to buy a Tron Legacy identity disc for a friend's birthday, but it explicitly said NOT A FRISBEE on the back so I didn't. I really want to buy a foam flying disc (with a hole in the middle) and cover it with glow in the dark paint before we see the movie, though.

Having a car is so amazing.

I got politely sexiled in advance on Friday night, so I went to the movies and saw Tangled, Unstoppable, and Way of the Warrior. Way of the Warrior felt like a cheaply made Sin City. Unstoppable wasn't my cup of tea. Tangled was good, but not a good Disney princess movie. Its characters were too self-aware and ironic for that, plus CGI reminds me too much of self-aware and ironic Shrek. Would I recommend it? Yes. But it's not a Disney classic.
Okay, so then when I was walking to my car in Arlington, I saw a coyote. When you read this, please remember that I live a fifteen minute walk from DC. A coyote. It was about ten feet from me, and slunk off to the bushes when it saw me. Damn.
