Labor Day
Today, there will be no activity that could even be construed as being work. Good thing I got my laundry done yesterday. Heh.
We saw The 40 Year Old Virgin last night, and OMG with the funny! And, as an added bonus, there was a scene near the beginning where Andy was walking down Ventura Blvd. in Encino, and he strolled right past my old Encino office. *laugh* That was probably filmed while I worked there, too, so I wonder how I missed it.
I've been feeling nostalgic this morning, for some reason. I was browsing a website full of Disney fonts (with pictures taken at the theme parks to demonstrate each font), and I got that pang of longing. I want to go to Walt Disney World. It's been over two years since I was last there, which is in sharp contrast to the preceeding few years when I made the trip to the Land of the Mouse more than once a year on average, when I wasn't already working there. Disneyland is nice, but it just doesn't cut it.
I'm pretty boring of late. This past week was jam-packed with activity and very enjoyable, but it's not anything that's edge-of-your-seat or anything. On Tuesday I went to dinner at a little Italian restaurant in Studio City with Alicia and Crystal. We had quite a time chatting over our gnocci. Mmm. Wednesday was dinner at SanSei in Sherman Oaks with Jan and Sean (more enjoyable conversation), followed by ice cream at Cold Stone. On Thursday, Sandra and I went shopping for a farewell gift for one of our employees. We spent hours walking around the mall in our suits and heels, and eventually crawled into Payless to purchase flip flops for our aching feet. Afterwards, dinner at El Torito. Friday was the farewell party at Yamato's, where the food is prepared at the table with flashing knives and billowing flames and lots of excitement.
Basically, I ate my way through last week. Yee-haw!
And this weekend has been full of Nip/Tuck Season Two (SUCH a good show! We're almost contemplating getting cable so we can watch the third season as it comes...). We did go down to UC-Irvine for a little party Saturday night, which was fun. Felt like I was back in college, only this time we were hanging with the grad student crowd. Good times. There was the aforementioned laundry and movie going of yesterday, and... we come to the conclusion that my life is dreadfully boring. I'm okay with that, though.
