busy day ahead!

other than the requisite being at work, i've a lunch date with jamie and then jen & i are going to amerika for a strategic bellis fair mall strike (i don't NEED a lot there, but i figured i better make proper use of daddy's car while i still can).

seriously though, i'm too busy the next few days. i might take tomorrow off from people. i haven't decided yet. my place is a sty (even moreso now that there are movie-night remnants all over my kitchen) and i'd really like to get my new table cleaned up and assembled before much longer. saturday is booked solid and sunday is annoyingly interrupted by the airport run i need to make to fetch my father in the middle of the day.

i don't feel like i had a long weekend off because of the weirdness of the schedule i kept. i'm pretty sure i'm going to keep my november long weekend all to myself. no island trip. no big plans. just four days with no agenda. hah... like that'll happen. what i really want is a six-month sabbatical. i wonder how i can arrange to get paid for that.

read 'love monkey' over the weekend. they turned this book into a short-lived tv series starring that awesome guy from 'ed', thomas cavanagh. i really liked the show, so when i saw the book on the cheap table at chapters, i picked it up. it was a fast, entertaining read, much like 'bridget jones' diary' written from a new york man's perspective. although the book and the tv show had very little in common past the names of four characters, i still enjoyed them both. it was just nice to find a book i could read with so little effort. lately, i seem to be finding myself slogging though, and getting stuck in the middle of, way too many books.

okay, i better get a move on. there's piles which need to be dealt with before jamie shows up. happy thursday, peeps.
