aiee!

Hobbes has been too cute all day. Yes, more webcam shots of him curled up. Because omfg he's cute.

( Purrrrrrrowwwwwwwr. )

huh morning

Mmm. It's early. Well, not so early now, but I woke up around 8:30 to go have breakfast and spy on devinluvsrussia's hot new Italian.

I can report that he was very charming, very funny, and yes, very hot!

It's a bleak sort of rainy day--perfect for a matinee, so post work, Dev and I might go check out 13 Going On 30. I love rainy day movie afternoons.

Hobbsie is full of love this morning. I think he thinks that my coming in the front door equals food for him. Man, is he going to be one disappointed ball of fur.

Had a really nice chat with my dad this morning. Caught up and talked about our plans to meet in SF for July 4th. I'm really looking forward to that trip. I miss my darling nephews. The worst thing about being a dirt poor student is not being able to send them spontaneous little presents. To show my love, and you know, bribe them. It'll also be great to finally see Amy's new home and Willi's new apartment. See the people and things I love about the Bay Area.

I think it's funny that outside of missing some good friends, I don't have much nostalgia for a place that was home for 12 years. I don't miss it at all. I feel weird about that. I mean, I love the Bay Area. It's a great place to live. It wasn't a traumatic period of my life or anything. Why don't I miss it? I get so easily attached to people, places and things. Why am I never homesick for it. I lived in Seattle for 6mos (before my exile to LA) and I missed Seattle like crazy. Wtf?

Seattle definitely feels like home to me in a way that no other place ever has. Talking to my dad this morning, started gently breaking to him that I wouldn't be returning to LA. He's taking it remarkably well, considering how much I know he misses me. And how much I miss him. We get along so well (when not discussing religion or marriage). It was so amazing forging such a fast friendship with him the past two years I lived in LA again--as an adult. I love my dad. He's just an incredible person. When I think about his life and the situations he's endured, the things he's done for everyone around him (family, friends, patients), it is simply awe-inspiring.

ahhh

Omfg I love the internet. More precisely, I love Google.

Randomly had some dialogue stuck in my head and it was driving me bugfuck. All I knew was, it went something like: 'I know you blahblahblah, because you did them to ME' and some woman is saying it tearfully, and it's a big emotional scene.

Finally, tired of torturing myself with it, got up, entered "because you did them to me" into Google and VOILA! It's from Buffy. Big fat fucking duh. I can't believe I forgot that. I loved that episode and I loved that scene.

The whole thing is something like:

"And I know the things you've done because you did them to me"

*sniffle*

And then it starts to snow. Thus Angel doesn't burst into flames. I think this is from Amends, an episode that I particularly like.

I think that along with the X-files (which I co-own with brabble), I may need to buy the first three seasons of Buffy. Season 4 and The Initiative can bite my ass. Ditto the rest of the series. But the first three seasons are just amazing. Especially seasons 2 and 3.

I remember when Buffy first came out. How far back into my skull my eye-rolling was. And how I couldn't believe anyone was watching a tv series based on that god awful movie with Kristy Swanson (or wtfever her name was).

um hee

So I called Soprano's Pizza, because I love them. And because I absolutely don't feel like cooking tonight.

Was embarrassed to call up, identify self and have the guy ask if I wanted my usual.

Yeah, been calling them up too often. Whoops.

I didn't actually want my usual (the amazing Mafia), I wanted some pasta. But ahh hello.

If nothing is a clear indication that I'm ordering out too much, that is.

Ah well. Will be good. Starting tomorrow. Really.

jeff_nw is coming over tomorrow for big study thing and am going to make either taco soup (2pts) or vegetarian chili (4pts) and work out before he comes over.

Must go to QFC to buy toilet paper, q-tips, and an onion.

Had a fantastic time watching 13 Going on 30 with devinluvsrussia. I knew the movie would be fun, but I was surprised by how endearing I found it. Sure, had to suspend disbelief (even beyond just the whole magical premise of it) but it was sweet and charming and Jennifer Garner was really very cute. *coo*

And Mark Ruffalo? A hottie? Dude. I had no idea. Rawwwr. I still don't know if it was just him in the movie or if he's gotten hotter, because he definitely didn't toss my salad in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Amazing what the right haircut can do for a man.
