i was the best because the crowd loved me
(i'm watching gladiator. i love this movie. "my history is a little hazy, cassius. but shouldn't the barbarians lose the battle of carthage?" and "how do they look?" "fat and bored.")
anyway. my roommate comes home tomorrow and i am not emotionally prepared. it's so much quieter and calmer and less cluttered without her. not this coming year but the year after, i'm moving out to live by myself. somewhere.
for christmas my sister and i saw the iron claw and went out for chinese food, as is the tradition of our people, and the restaurant is closing the end of this week! (apparently the owner wants to retire.) so they didn't have a lot of stuff on the menu. still had enough for leftovers, tho. :D i do love a good leftover. the movie was really good, once i got past zac efron and harrison dickinson as bulky meatheads - with bad hair to boot - but wow, so much tragedy. it took me a couple days to get over it.
it feels like i've been off work a lot longer than a week and i've been using my copious free time to, uh, well, i watched the rest of bodies which was a little headscratchy - i mean, there's time travel, time travel is always weird - and the doctor who special(s) with fourteen formerly ten (and donna noble my beloved) and the christmas special with the new doctor who i like altho i don't love his 70s-ish clothes. but he's cute.
on tuesday i left the house to get a scrambled egg and cheese on a bagel and work on my holiday project for writing group, and my favorite place to get such a bagel sandwich was CLOSED. i don't begrudge the employees a day off but i felt denied. so i went to the diesel which was half empty which was SO WEIRD but it meant i got a table by the front and i got a lot of story written and if i can figure out a title i might be the first person to post their holiday project this year. O.O (which is a huge improvement over the year i wrote it like two days before it was due. i wrote about god kicking angels out of the heavenly workshop on the seventh day of creation, and even tho i tried very hard not to gender anyone, everyone in writing group kept referring to god as "he". and i couldn't tell them they were wrong, god was supposed to be genderless. but i corrected them a lot in my head.)
i'm enjoying the holiday project but i think it's getting away from me a little. i went back to the diesel today to work on it some more and ended up going to trader joe's with tamalinn. i never shop at trader joe's but it's fun to go with someone else. i like grocery stores. this does not make me weird.
