everbody's working (or not) for the weekend

Good thing last weekend was so fun because this week SUCKS! It's been full of inconveniences, such as:

1. This goddamn heat wave. Like, WTF????? I think Al Gore's on to something here. It's so fucking hot I can't even go outside without sweating. It's really not much different than Florida, except I don't feel like I need a knife to cut through the thick air. But holy shit!! And of course, I'm off all week, and I could be out doing little touristy things like checking out the Smithsonian or going to see the Lincoln Memorial and shit like that. Or even go grocery shopping. But I can't because that would require going outside during the day which means I would melt. Which leads me to...

2. Being a hippy with no car. I can't even go grocery shopping because there's no way in hell (or DC because it's fucking hot as hell) that I'm going to walk the mile to the metro in the middle of the hot-ass day. Thus, I've been eating a lot of toast and drinking a lot of water lately.

3. My computer crashed. Thankfully, Jane left hers behind while she's off being a jetsetter in the Rich Coast so I can check my e-mail and blog. But in the meantime, I had like 18 hours of music on mine, and now I can't listen to any of it. I have my Ipod, which has about six hours, but I'm almost sick of all those jams because I've been listenting to then for about 65 hours.

4. I'm off all week. There's no studying to be done. There's no work to be done. THERE IS NOTHING TO BE DONE!!!! This is the first time in FOREVER that I've had absolutely NOTHING to do. I kind of hate it. I ordered a bunch of books from Barnes & Noble and I am like sitting by the door waiting for the mailman to come because I'm bored out of my fucking mind. I've seen all the movies currently on HBO like fifty thousand times (Shark Tale is so cute, by the way) and the only thing I really look forward to is old school Roseanne at 4 p.m on Oxygen. I CANNOT WAIT FOR MY BOOKS TO ARRIVE!!! A little aside - once they do arrive, the first one I'm reading is Pride and Prejudice, for the first time. And this will be the first time I actually sat down and read and finished a novel since I started law school.

My IPod battery just died. Fuck.

Thank God for Julia Gulia, who entertained me the past two evenings. Tuesday night I spilled my entire beer in her lap. Apparently, this is my new modus operandi.
