chai tea and tai chi

BELLE AND SEBASTIAN - WAKING UP TO US

Mmmm... I'm in a super good mood. Daddy and I went to Sunterra to buy some baguette and pate for dinner, and while we were there I spied some chai tea mix. I'm way too lazy in the morning to boil up some chai in a sauce pan, and it's very hard to make chai tea lattes with a steam wand if you're doing it with a tea bag, so I bought some yummy chai mix, and I'm very excited about it. I hadn't bought it for myself because it's far too expensive, but Daddy paid, so it was wonderful. And now I am just waiting for Mom to get home so that we can start eating the baguette and pate. I live for baguette and pate. It makes me terribly bougouis to enjoy such "rich people" food. The prospect of things like escargot and caviar and pate should be disgusting to me, but I cannot imagine life without pate. Escargot is pretty disgusting, and I can't eat caviar, so at least I'm doing okay. Aha! Mom's home! Time to go eat some fooooooood!

Oh man, that was GOOD pate. My belly is supremely satisfied. Now you get to hear all about my weekend of nothing! I got my period on Friday, and my cramps were so bad I had to cut a date with Ryan quite short. I felt really sick on Saturday, so I turned down some plans to stay home and feel gross, and then, by 3:00, my pain had miraculously lifted, which was wonderful! However, it was also terrible, because it was too late to tell people that I could do things with them, so I spent my afternoon in a bored haze in front of the television, because I had no books to read. It was excrutiating. At about 6:00, Daddy informed me that him and Marco were going to go see a movie, so I was all "I'M COMING, BUT NOT TO YOUR MOVIE!", and I watched "Notes on a Scandal", which was excellent. Like, really really good. As good as the book good. After that, I walked over to Indigo, which was scary because Heather Exner has turned bookstores into scary places. I just wanted a book, not hand lotion or cds or magazines or candles or stuffed toys or things with hearts on them. There was more CRAP in that bookstore than books. I cant even call Chapters/Indigo/Coles bookstores anymore. I WANTED A FUCKING BOOK. So I bought "The Namesake" by Jhumpa Lahiri, because I heard her other book was good from the Pulitzer Prize people. I tend to enjoy Pulitzer winners, but they didn't have that one, so I bought her other book. So far it's been quite good. There's a sticker on the front which says it's being made into a movie, which could be funky. I'm always cautious about adapted movies and such, and so I went home and IMDB'd it, and Kal Penn is in it. HAHAHA KAL PENN DOING SERIOUS THINGS. He was good on Law and Order, so who knows? Miracles might happen? I did enjoy Harold and Kumar, but THE RISE OF TAJ? EPIC MOVIE? EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW.

Today, I lay around being not very productive and watched lots of the Food Network, Myth Busters and some show about Circus Sideshow Freaks. It was boring. I read some of my book, and I lay around until Daddy and I went to Sunterra. I hate boring weekends. On the way to Sunterra, we had a good talk though. Mostly about driving. Dad's excited because I'm finally getting on driver's ed. I can't see how I'll use the car that much, except when I need books, I won't have to take the bus, and I can start doing hot yoga. Those are the only reasons I want to be able to drive right now, because I'm sure as hell not going to drive to school. That's just expensive. But Bikram Yoga.. Mmm... Steamy yoga goodness. I'm psyched. And Dad said that if I learn to drive, I can take friends to camp out on the property this summer. Hooray! Now I want to do driver's ed. Well, I don't want to do it, but I want to be able to drive, therefore I need driver's ed.

That's all for now, folks!

mmm

My senses are overwhelmed. I am drinking tea, eating popcorn and watching Clerks II. I really like it. Mm. I miss rockin' Kevin Smith movies. I am extremely content, and I thought I would share.
