Rainy Day
I love rainy weekends. Well, it wasn't really rainy all weekend. Friday night there was some crazy lightning and enough rain Saturday morning that sleeping in (and missing yoga and Farmer's Market) was a super idea.
Saturday, I spent a long horrifying hour at the mall in search of a pleated mini-skirt to enact a hip, punk-rock outfit vision I've had in my head. However, execution didn't match the vision, even after a couple of outfit scenerios in the home mirror. I looked like an adult trying to dress like a trendy kid. I found it very entertaining. No short skirt for me. I'm returning it and sticking to what I know.
Saturday night was Rock the Casbah, where cute girls pulled off all sorts of hip 80s punk rock attire. I studied them for a bit, confirming that my choice to forgo the mini-skirt was the right call, and then danced, dodging between 19-year-old kids
making out to Fascination Street. I was surrounded.
Yesterday, I went costume shopping. I've never been a proactive Halloween costume person, but going this early was great. No crowd. Lots of options. I bought a bunch of stuff. How do I pass up a white and pink sparkly tutu? I don't "need" it for this
costume, but I will someday for something. Now, I just need to work on some Halloween plans.
Yesterday also marked the possible beginning of 2 new mild obsessions. I spent hours playing Katamari Damancy, the "sticky ball" game for PS2,and thumbing through Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, marking recipes I want to cook soon. I had
friends sitting at my pool, cause it was sunny and warm, and I left them out there to come inside and play video games.
Fortunately, I am a fair-weather obsessor. I'll be over them soon.
I managed to put the controller and cookbook down long enough to go toBurlesque the Vote at Emo's. It was pretty good. A couple of performers were fantastic. There was at least one performance from a real stripper (so it seemed), which didn't really fit in. It wasn't terrible, but seemed against the spirit of the show.
And after a busy weekend of, um, 3 hours of dancing, some errands, sleeping, sitting, and a movie, I came home and blissfully crashed out.
