This week in August

Sometimes when I have no angry opinions to spew out, I simply like to write about my week. It turns ot to be more interesting, at least to me. It's nice to review your week and see how calm and peaceful (or not- whatever rocks your boat) your life is.

Sunday:
- In the morning, I went to the gym.
- Came back sweaty, watched the Food Network, and uber-perky Rachel Ray. I can't believe she is getting her own talk show. It's so American for the public to fall in love with a dimply, short woman with a wide smile and giggling demeanor.
- In the afternoon I went to visit my parents in the Bx, fell asleep in my old room, stuffed myself with homecooked food- fish, fried cabbage, rice, and lentils.

Monday:
- Left the Bx, went to The Office around 730am, was extremely productive at work.
- Came home to my apt, ate a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich for dinner. Watched Law and Order. Oh yum.

Tuesday:
- Went to The Office, not so productive this time.
- Spent the day in my cubicle making appointments with top doctors before I leave the company.
- Also spent some of the day drafting my resignation letter. Short and sweet, although maybe overly sweet with the whole, "Thank you for the opportunity (i.e., I was desperate for a job) to work (i.e., slave) in this wonderful (i.e., presitigous and cutthroat) company."
- Went shopping after work, did not buy anything, came home and slept.

Wednesday:
- Ran 2.5 miles in the morning, went to The Office, another unproductive day. Did I mention my boss is out of town this for a few days?
- Spent the day on finishing up a report, except I had major writer's block, if you can call it "writing."
- Also spent the day looking for cool cellphones in the Verizon plan (just changed my plan).
- After work, hopped on the subway to Brooklyn to the Verizon store, and bought a cool Nokia candybar phone. Very girly and small. Just like me.
- Crashed at my aunt's place in Bklyn.

Thursday:
- Woke up, attempted to do some work at The Office.
- Ended up going to lunch with a friend who is still in college, and looking up investing options (index funds? CDs? Too many options).
- After work, had dinner with Bwoy.
- After dinner, went with a friend to a 1030 pm slam concert on the West Side, in a tiny theatre with a lot of urban hippies. These poets are amazing; people who have a way with words awe me. One of the poets was my friend's boyfriend; met him briefly- very urban hippie, wore a cool jazz hat while he talked to me. He acted sort of girly, which makes sense because my friend is pretty stoic. Caught up briefly with said friend, who I've kept in touch with, but literally have not seen physically in over a year.
- Crashed at Bwoy's place.

Friday:
- Woke up, resolved to do actual work.
- Did some work in The Office! All my team members called me up, asking me why I was throwing work at them at 3pm on a Friday afternoon. I just laughed and cajoled them into doing it- and it worked. Wow.
- After work, had dinner with an old friend of mine, saw Lady in the Water. I liked the movie! I think it's cool that Shymalan had the guts to do this... who makes up a fairy tale and makes a movie out of it? Some parts of it was very tongue-in-cheek too. Cute.
- My friend and I had Ben and Jerry's afterwards, took a company car back to my apt. Chatted with driver while we drove back; apparently, he used to work in the grocery store near me as a meat manager!
- FINALLY slept in my own apt!

Saturday:
Well, that's today.
- Woke up around 11 by Bwoy, who called me from Chicago - he's at a family reunion for the wknd. He misses me! That's always nice to know
- For breakfast, drank milk, ate some nuts and pepperoni, and finished off with some grapes.
- Will now go running, clean the filth in my apt, go to The Office to make up for my laziness, and this evening go to a very lefty art show that shows kinky videos and has free pasta.
- After show, plan to stop by The Office for a little more work before dragging myself to a house party in the East Village.
