It's Friday! At least there's that. The past two days have been a bit overwhelming. I don't have much more than that, so I'll leave you with this.
Lately, I've been playing a lot of Super Mario Bros. I bought it on the virtual console for the Wii and it uses the wireless wiimote (as opposed to having to plug in the Gamecube controller, which is a pain) so that's been my new "I'm tired of reading about that dickhead Mr. Casaubon" thing. It's great because I just put our iTunes library on shuffle and listen to whatever pops up while I play. I noticed - awhile back - that inevitably at most every five songs and often times every two songs, a Modest Mouse song comes on. I mean, it makes sense - we have practically every Modest Mouse album, plus some live stuff, so we are bound to him them more often than other bands with only 1 or 2 albums. However, the weird part is that for bands like Radiohead, the Flaming Lips, and Sparklehorse, of which we also own multiple albums, do not follow the Modest Mouse rule. If anything, we're lucky to hit one song of any of theirs on any given go.
Thus, the mystery of Modest Mouse on shuffle continues. I get 10 points every time on of their songs come up - last night I think I earned myself about 60 points in an hour-and-a-half. The points are indicative of how I'm winning but at what and why, no one really knows.
I also get ten points every time I correctly identify a film on television that I've never seen before in the first 5 seconds of flipping to it. I get five points for the same thing if I have seen it before.
I am the only person who follows these rules and it only involves me yelling " Ten points!" and pumping my fist in the air, while Casey absentmindedly tells me good job.
I had a 20% off coupon and 10.00 off anything at the Gap so I combined them and splurged on these new things. The sweater may or may not fit so that might be a returner. I like the Gap for jeans, but have found that their tops often fit kind of funny. I love the pants though - on sale, work appropriate, from the European collection.
July 25th is the release of the X-Files sequel. I'm interested to see how they manage to pull together a movie about a television show that ended over five years ago - six if you count that it won't be released until 2008. It's not old enough to be retro but old enough that many people have pretty much forgotten about it. As for me, I stopped watching about a half-season after the first movie came out, so the last couple years are a bit of a confusing blur for me anyway.
October, you can suck it! I blogged the hell out of you!
Twenty, count 'em, TWENTY posts in one day. If there was an award for marathon blogging, Jen and I would get it in spades. And lest you forget:
Poor Casey. When he's trying to read, I'm constantly bothering him to come see what Mallory is doing. She does cute stuff all the time! We have this long, log-shaped pillow, fairly firm, and she's taken to perching herself on it. It's really cute. She's a bun on a log! They've also been recently playing with their empty bun-litter bag, they go inside it and scratch around, and the other night, Robot was inside and Mall sat on top and he couldn't get out. It was mean-funny, and I laughed pretty hard.
I had a dream a couple nights ago that Mallory died and I was so upset when I woke up. I told her that afternoon whilst giving her some really good quality head-and-back pets and I got a little teared up. A coworker was talking today about how she feels so dorky because she has a framed photo of her dog and none of her boyfriend. I was like, I have a framed photo of my rabbits plus two nonframed photos of my rabbits and none up of my boyfriend, so I'm clearly more crazy than you.
I know I'm crazy, and I'm fine with it!
So, last night we went to Cafe Presse (Drew's pick), a little french cafe. Super cute! I had the french onion soup (10.00) which was amazing. I am going to crave that soup every day of the rest of my life, now.
Also, I'd love to find out the wine that Jen selected. It was a really lovely white wine, that I would totally buy and sip at home.
This is how I'm feeling:
