A Productive Weekend, or Why So Hot, Chris Colfer?
First up: Movie Trip Report Part 2 is up. If you're following Tomatoe movie adventures, go on there. Otherwise, read my musings on being productive on the weekend.
Can you consider a Saturday is productive when you wake up at 7.55 AM in the morning to catch your favorite actor's interview on TV and then went on to eat a lot of food, shop, try to work and then actually finished a long-ass trip report with pictures? Because if the answer is yes, then I really am productive today.
I started my weekend this time by waking up to the blaring sound of my cell phone alarm clock that told me I had five minutes to wake up, get my arse downstairs and turn on the TV if I wanted to see Chris Colfer being interviewed by Piers Morgan on CNN. So naturally I grabbed a jacket to cover my sleeping gown-clad body and did what my alarm clock told me to do. I was just in time to catch the commercial before the show started. Then Chris was on and I was... fascinated.
QUESTION! Why is Chris Colfer so awesome?
I've followed this kid since Glee season 1 and he didn't use to be so... I don't know. Handsome. Attractive. Beautiful. Drop dead gorgeous. Because seriously, he looks all that and more in this interview. I even kind of forgot what it was he said to Piers because he was so good-looking, I spent the entire half an hour of the first half of the program just drooling at him. I felt highly inappropriate doing this because he is so much younger than me (and not to mention, does not play for my team) so I feel awkward liking him in *that* way.
Then again, you can't NOT fall in love with a guy who managed to wring out a laughter from you so early in the morning just by impersonating his mother.
Also, I am now considering the name CHRISTOPHER on the list of names I'm going to give my (and Ben Barnes') kids. Christopher Esca Barnes. Or something awesome like that.
After that, my sister successfully roped me into joining her for a trip to the bank (seriously, I do the most "serious" things today - watching CNN, going to the bank..) We stopped by McDonalds for a McMuffin breakfast, during which we discussed plans for lunch. You just gotta love our conversations: discussing what to have for lunch while eating eggs and chicken patties trapped in an English muffin.
So, for lunch, I braved the mall with my sister and my father. My dad apparently had a hankering for a beef bowl at Yoshinoya so we went to that that new food court (Area 51?) in Pondok Indah Mall-1. It turned out I was the only one who'd eaten a beef bowl (numerous times) at Yoshinoya (although I always ate at the on in Grand Indonesia) so for the first quarter of an hour, I coached my dad at what to order and whatnot. We ended up with a bowl of Original Beef, a plate of agemono, a bowl of miso shiru and ocha that we didn't refill each. Then we had pretzels for dessert. Good times.
My dad went in search for a photo frame afterwards and my sister and I shopped for DVDs. We went to three places but ended up doing all of our disc shopping in Societie. I got: 3 DVS - The A-Team (yesterday I watched Limitless and have rekindled my linguistic crush for Bradley Cooper), Night at the Museum 1 and Night at the Museum 2 - and 2 CDs - Matthew Morrison's solo album and... well. I got Glee The Music presents The Warblers.
Look. I didn't want to buy that CD. I was perfectly content just downloading stuff for free from the Internet for that one album. But I'm collecting Glee CDs and, well, Chris Colfer did sing lead in a few songs so... IT'S ALL FOR CHRIS! (I'm still not in love with The Warblers' sound after Teenage Dream. So, there.)
Anyway, after the CD shopping, we decided on a whim to pop over to Steve Madden's shoes boutique and... *SIGH* WE BOUGHT SHOES. I bought another pair of wedges. And I don't regret it because the wedges are cute... (picture coming soon - too lazy to download-resize-upload for the time being). My sister is the one who's probably headdesking at the moment for being a big spender because she bought TWO pairs today. For once, I am more restrained than her.
We drove home afterwards (lest we shopped some more) and I took a nap before driving myself over to work - yes, to work - because I had unfinished business. The business is still unfinished but I made some progress with it. After 3 hours of looking at about two hundred International Standard Book Numbers, though, I couldn't take it anymore. So I decided to drive over to Starbucks, do my Singapore trip report and... voila! PRODUCTIVITY!
Right?
Eh. Well, if that's not what you can exactly call "productive", I'll have you know that this week has not been a fruitless week for me. I managed to finish two books - Throne of Fire is done; so is Darkest Mercy - and write half of my Kurtofsky future fic. Now that's productive. I think.
Although it does beat the purpose of the weekend. So, I say, be as lazy as you want this weekend, F-list. I reckon it's more FUN that way.
