RJK 5000

i slept in today in original rjk fashion.  i felt so tired and cold so i made the conscious decision to stay in bed.  the okay book says i’m more likely to hold myself accountable when i make conscious, mindful decisions.  but now i only have eight hours instead of twelve hours left to do nothing.

last night i watched a version of jane austen’s persuasion on masterpiece classic.  it was outstanding.  even better than the book.  the most handsome captain wentworth… he was so weak and resentful, but never inconstant.

erm.

i brewed the most delicious pot of coffee today.

it’s sunday, and it’s very nice.

happy saturday.  i woke up early, like 8:30.  i thought i would regret it if i kept on sleeping like i usually do, so i made the choice of getting up.  go self-help book.  i did pilates and watched a couple episodes of my favorite cooking programs on television.  it is raining and cold and it’s affecting my mood.  i will go to my mom’s house where it is warm and cozy and people love me.

i hope you are having a lovely weekend.

after work tito martinez and i went to the covert boardshop video premiere at the grove theatre in upland.  apparently he and ricks got a clip in it.  it was an okay event, we drank tall cans and watched the movie, although the screen was very dark and there were sound problems.  it was cool to kick it though, and there were a few impressive tricks in the flick.  ricks is asian gangster, and i never knew atlas could rip like that.  it was pretty neat.  my friends skateboard well.  i kept saying that i would like to kickflip down into some sort of tall bank.  with full pads.  i just talk.

after the movie, tito and i hit up a few bars.  i don’t know what happened to our entourage but there were really no down afterpartyers.  we ended up at a total mejicano bar where we were the only “nonmexicans.”  it felt like we wore out our welcome by not buying weed off of one of the regulars.  and then somebody karaoke’d my second favorite mana song and i felt as though i offended everyone by applauding.  well perdoneme.  at least we were charged only $15 for four beers…

and now i’m home in pajamas.  it’s raining.  i look forward to more of life tomorrow.

i treated thursday night like a friday night just as i was taught to do in college and graduate school.  however, instead of getting drunk on five million beers and eating a late-night burrito in preparation for an 8am genetics class, my old school homie and i met up pretty early in the night for some drinks and funny chatter at the local bar.  it was a great time.  i forgot about boys who can be your friend without getting all…emotional.

this week felt like it was progressing rather slowly, but now that i realize it’s already friday, everything feels very sudden.  i’m just excited about weekend socializing, cleaning, sleeping in, e-wasting, and skateboarding.  life is spectacular.  and rain.

enjoy everything in balance, moderation, and variety.  see you when you’re smiling.

just got back from wednesday night dinner.  it was wonderful.  i really love my family.  it was brash of me to consider myself the glue that holds us together.

i told them i had some news to share and my mom immediately asked whether i was engaged to be married or pregnant.  no and no way.  my news wasn’t very newsworthy afterall.

i should study spanish and go to sleep, but i feel like reading american stuff tonight.

by the way, not only am i caught up on my work at work, but i’m ahead.  talk to the tiger claw.

the year of the tiger is turning out to be very interesting.  remember when it was the year of the fire pig and everyone around me (including me) was being zapped into a new life, many into questionable, unsettling, tragic, or unbelievable situations.  i got dumpedyou got wreckedhe got killedwe met.  kind of sensing some strange energy this year as well.  not so much like all my friends are dying or telling lies but something else.  not necessarily a bad feeling either, even though tiger is my enemy (but i’m not a normal snake and you’re not a normal tiger…)  this probably won’t be a normal year.

with the aid of a long-time friend, i laid out the plans for my “trap.”  i’m trying to catch a sucker!

and then i went to kung fu class where i thoroughly enjoyed practicing martial arts and laughing and hitting people.  vans are good for horse stance.

i’m reading a self-help book to help cure my psychologic disease.  i told you, not a normal year!

didn’t do too much today.  i went to rite aid to restock on align capsules.  i thought i could transform the errand into a more social outing, but none of my friends who work at the pharmacy was there.  and no joey welcher at the ice cream counter either.  i almost bought hair dye, but luna complimented my hair during lunch today so i guess i can hold off on that for at least another few months right.

oh yeah, i had lunch with luna today.  it was great.  she’s the most fantastic friend.

i also went to orchard supply hardware.  employees in hardware stores are very helpful.  it’s because they get drug tested.

came home and chilled out.  cleaned the place up a bit.  now we build the trap.

i am very sleepy.  this week is already off to an unusual start.

well, i was very lazy again today.

i perfected the vanilla almond coffee.  it only took me about four pots.  minipatz.

i ate a lot today, but i’m still very hungry.  nothing was very balanced.

time is flying.

i watched the last of the romance movies tonight.  the guy died again!  within the first five minutes of the movie.  i also watched the sixth sense, which is one of my favorite love stories.  and we all know who dies in that.

forget the bildungsroman.  it’s time for a harlequin superromance.

i didn’t leave the house today except to walk charlotte.  in my pajamas.  i dozed off in my bed while listening to morrissey and reading the lyrics.

i was so lazy but i liked it a lot.  now i will drink some more wine.  for energy.

happy saturday.  i woke up early (10am!).  didn’t do much though.  some pilates and dishes.  i’m drinking coffee right now.  i sprinkled about 3/4 tsp of cook’s fine bourbon pure vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp of cook’s pure almond extract on my coffee grounds before i brewed them.  i am happy with the results.

today i will clean, relax, write, and listen to morrissey.
