kinda like friday

Anyone hittin BFD tomorrow? I just remembered that I'm not going to be working a full day tomorrow. Turns out Jem bought me a ticket (which I asked her to, but then forgot so I'm glad she reminded me!). As much as I've become pretty anti-Shoreline (giganto-stadium-like-venue), I have to admit I'm pretty stoked to see: Kasabian, The Lovemakers, Sleater Kinney, Hot Hot Heat, The Bravery and Kaiser Chiefs. I hope it's sunny!

Anyway - if you're going... lemme know or ring my cell & maybe we can meet up for a $7 beer and $8 garlic fries.

Driving me crazy: These damn dogs in my neighborhood that just bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark and it never stops!!! SHUT UP DOGS! uuugg.

Loving like mad: This new bodywash I bought at Trader Joes: ShiKai's Yuzu Bodywash. It smells SO DELICIOUS!!

I would have initially just told you how amazing the 'grapefruit' scent is... but it's actually Yuzu! (I'm just learning from their website) Yuzu is a Japanese fruit that is similar to what you would find if you combined a grapefruit and a mandarin... yummm! I picked this out because I have sensitive skin (no Lever 2000 for me!) and since this body wash is soap free & moisturizing, it's perfect! It's pretty funny to get so excited about taking a shower, especially since I love my long hot showers as it is. But seriously, this has added a whole new level of fantastic to it all. :)

Today the sun has been out, which is good... it's been a bit rainy here. Reminding us all that summer in SF is usually quite fog laden.

I gotta go do my workout for the day. Without a workout buddy (she's super busy this week), it's hard for me get my ass there some days. I did finish the book I've been reading at the gym yesterday, though, which was cool. I love finishing books*.

I concur with Sarah's review that it pretty much just made me feel like I needed a dose of Ritalin. However, I can appreciate an analytical mind (right up there with people who make the effort to program all their appliances to display the correct time), and I suppose it was a fairly interesting story to get through. That said, I'm not sure I'd recommend it to anyone. A couple people told me I had to read it - but I think you're really not missing much except a few days of feeling like you're stuck in the body of an autistic boy. Kinda like Momento... you're just SO glad you're normal and don't have to constantly go through some crazy process just to keep it all straight.

*Speaking of, Steve & Burt - I finally saw High Fidelity (the movie) again *after* reading the book. They left out the entire deal of him freaking out when he didn't give the reporter lady his true top 5 list, and needing to call her back so many times. I couldn't believe that! That was such a huge part! :)

I love this guy's style... he does these in Illustrator! Man... sometimes I just get so slayed by the talent that is out there. *sigh*
