WATCHING: I've been alternating between two of my favorite shows, Parks and Recreation and The West Wing. Both are brilliant! And I think Parks and Rec is hands down the funniest show on TV right now. I need to catch up on the recent episodes.
LISTENING
TO: My recent playlist includes Lady Gaga, Mumford & Sons (I
neeeeed to check out their new album!), Janelle Monae, and Katy Perry.
All of which sound freaking amazing in my car's sound system. I often
get strange looks from my neighbors when I drive through my apartment
complex, and am temporarily confused until I realize that I'm blasting
my music so loud that I'm basically a discotheque on wheels.
THINKING
ABOUT: Why in the hell everyone around me was on my back today. My
condescending manager, bitchy customers, Facebook friends who responded
to my post about having to re-take my math class for the fifth time by
telling me I need to get a tutor (guess what, bitches, I DID have a
tutor and STILL couldn't pass! So why don't y'all go fuck yourselves!),
and even the snotty salon receptionist who bitched me out when I had to
cancel my appointment. Grrr. Just one of those annoying days, I guess.
TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT: School things, mostly. Mehhh. I wrote my advisor kind of
a desperate email and she responded by saying she'll be out of the
office until Tuesday and will get to it then. Thaaaanks for nothing. I'm
also trying to figure out how to muster up enough energy to work yoga
back into my life.
LOOKING FORWARD TO: Things are so bleak right
now that it's hard to look forward to things. But I do have various
lovely adventures coming up...Movies in the Park at the Biltmore,
dancing "Thriller" at my friends' wedding reception (for realsies!),
hopefully going to Disneyland! I'm also looking forward to hanging out
with my family for Thanksgiving, and being reunited with my best friend
who lives in San Francisco but will be coming to visit for Turkey Day!
READING: Still re-reading Angels & Demons
for my Religion and Pop Culture class. I first read it in high school
when I was more easily charmed, and I definitely realize this time
around how cheesy and overdramatic Dan Brown's writing is. But I'm
enjoying it, anyway. Guilty pleasure, y'know.
MAKING ME HAPPY:
This was another thing I had to scour my brain for since I'm such a
Negative Nancy lately. But the things making me happiest right now are
my sweet kitty, the weather slowly changing, and hanging out with
wonderful people.
