ok.
so, here i sit, in my living room, on saturday evening, at 9:30, and, well, the TV, it is on. and there are images floating across it, and based upon the fact that TBS throws it's name up every now and again, i think that perhaps i am watching TV. 

but...but...but....ok i dont' really have a good reason but i do have a reason and i might as well put it here so you don't look down upon me that hard. i mean, after all, the tv is on and i am still here talking to you aren't i? hmmm, although i seem to be typing slower.

so last night i came home at about 11:30 after hanging out at a party with co-workers (a party in which i spent a good part of the evening chatting up a woman i had just met i might add.) I came home and wondered what i should do now. I mean, it's pretty late,  could go to sleep.  Yah, on a friday night?  bed before 2, 3, 4? not likely. 
   then i thought about my options...not on top of the game enough to really write anything, book...looking ok...but really what i wanted to do was lose myself in a movie. but...not allowed.
   eventually, i overcame my urges and started reading my book.  little over half an hour later, i finished it, little over 2 minutes after that i fell asleep. my book on my chest, lights on, radio on, clothes on.  7 hours later, i wake up.  no tv, makes me a boring, sleepy boy late at night it might appear. it's not true, but it might appear.

   so tonight...i'm sitting reading, had been for almost an hour, listening to music and i decide that for dinner i am going to have some chinese food. then i get to thinking, what i am i going to do while i am eating? i mean, it's not like i an sit at my computer and do stuff, or read, cause, well, there's just too much effort going to all of the different dishes and taking the food out that i want. so....i cave, i turn on a movie and watch it while i eat. then i watch something else, and now i am watching something else yet.
   it just seems like it's really unfair to do that to me on a weekend.
only it's not, it really isn't.  it was just that as i was trying to talk myself out of, or into, depending upon the second, i couldn't come up with good reasons to not be watching tv at the time. could you?

   today was a good day.
   to begin with, i started with a haircut, from kane.  yes, kane my regular hair stylist once again.  it was good to have him back.  and the story he gave me of his departure and our reunion is one filled with drama, melodrama and all the excitement you expect from a mid-city hair salon.
   after this, i had 30 minutes or so to wait before my friend joined me and as such, i went shopping. i bought stuff. small, inexpensive, wonderful stuff.  stuff to make me happy, be happy for me.
   then i had lunch with a friend and we went off to the flea market. sadly, it was boring and rather useless today.  all i bought was a brand new, just off some truck or another, copy of 'ocean's 11' on dvd and some lime-papaya essential oil.
   the next stop was a theatre for a matinee version of Bad Company.  It was, well, it was amusing, i enjoyed it.  Don't expect too much but it kept my attention.

   comparisons continue. i am enjoying this.
 you can do the same to compare to me by going here Similar Minds

i'm going to watch this movie. the subtitles are playing havoc with my flow.
