So tired
My weekend was good but very abbreviated :( I saw alice in wonderland 3d and loved it. I kinda want alice's wardrobe, particularly the mini mini alice's dress.
We celebrated Julie's birthday at matchbox/rocketbar and peter kicked my butt in skee ball.
Then sunday....with an hour less sleep i came into work to conduct a test. so that sucked, and now i'm super tired.

Worst Mall Experience Ever
So I went to the mall last night in hopes of dinner and jeans.....fail and fail.
First I went to express where i already know what style and size I wanted, couldnt be easier. I walked right to the jean section and wtf they only had ridiculous sizes that noone else would buy. I asked the store guy and he was like "yeah thats all we have, but have you seen these?" and he shows me the stupidest looking jeans ever with studs in random places, extra embroidery on the seams, and worn out spots in odd places. no thanks!
On to dinner. We walked right into Au Bon Pain for my favorite spinach and cheese croisant. NOTHING. wtf. ok I have a backup, Quick Pita in the food court for falafel and hummus. I turn around and....THE ENTIRE STORE IS GONE!!! We walked to harrys tap room and lebanses taverna to find GIANT lines at both of them.
Who knew the mall on a wed night was not the place to be. stupid pentagon city.

Its the little things
Saturday night i got Homeward bound (simon and garfunkel) sung to me to wake me up at 3 am in the morning. normally i don't like to be woken up, but this was so sweet that all i could do was smile.
Today I sit at work and the song plays in my mind, and I smile wishing that I were homeward bound at this moment.
I’m sitting in the railway station.
Got a ticket to my destination.
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.
And ev’ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band.
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought’s escaping,
Home where my music’s playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.
Ev’ry day’s an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines.
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
And ev’ry stranger’s face I see reminds me that I long to be,
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought’s escaping,
Home where my music’s playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.
Tonight I’ll sing my songs again,
I’ll play the game and pretend.
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.

Oscars and a Fun weekend
We celebrated Peter's new job on sat night! Which involved mini cupcakes, champagne, geryhounds, and Orleans music of course.
Sunday I had my annual Oscars date with Chris for like the 5th or 6th year in a row. This year, since he moved to chicago it was a little more difficult, but thanks to skype and web cams it was almost like we were in the same room. Almost. Chris won AGAIN. Since that was the long running competition that's really who I was concerned with beating, but its to note that Peter and Emily tied for first place.
And in my opinion the best dress of the night was Sandra Bullock. It was totally a dress I would have picked out for myself and it was gorgeous. Also I think peter learned something new about me last night that I've been trying to keep a secret...i LOVE cheezy Sandra bullock movies! well except that all about Steve one. But like when they referenced hope floats and i admitted that I cried the entire movie, I think peter died inside a little bit.
also its pretty appropriate that the first woman won best director in Women's Herstory (did you see what I did there) month.

1975
So we were watching TV and a commercial comes on for the first few seasons of SNL from 1975 on, and peter goes "that would be fun to watch"....so like an idiot I go online and buy the first 2 seasons (on sale at least).
Now we are going through season 1, and its really just not funny. We also fast foward through most of the musical acts except paul simon and abba.
One thing is that their fake commercials they just keep repeating over and over, but werent even funny in the first place.
This all makes me wonder how it lasted so many seasons!

Toyotas
I think that it must be really nice to be a toyota driver right now...I mean as long as you've had the break thing recalled and fixed already. They are probably getting places much faster these days. I mean personally i don't want to put my car infront of any toyotas, so I haven't cut any off recently, and also when a toyota is trying to merge I let them infront of me so they dont end up behind me, and if one ends up behind me I try and switch lanes. The way I imagine it for a Toyota driver these days, is that when they arrive at traffic, traffic just parts and lets them through. Maybe now is time for me to get a fixed toyota!
