I had a great visit with my friend Nina who was in town last week for a conference. Then I took a few days off from work, 'cause I hadn't taken more than a day here or there since July. Now? I'm sad that I have to go back to work on Monday, and I need to get my taxes done before then.
Other crap to do:
Go to frame shop and get various prints mounted, matted and (re)framed so that it will start looking like I live here before I renew my annual lease at the end of May.
Make appointment at fancy Newbury Street salon to use the gift certificate I got at Chanukah. I think a massage, facial, and brow wax will be a nice combo. (Do they do Brazilians on the eyebrows? I should ask.)
Make appointment at non-fancy Tremont Street salon for mani-pedi, thereby finally using the gift certificate I received almost 3 years ago for dog-sitting.
Before that last item, stop eating cuticles for a week or two. Also, shave legs.
Go to Trader Joe's and buy every can of Diet Hansen's Pomegranate Soda that I can get my hot little hands on before everyone else discovers that it is the best beverage on all the earth. (Shhhh, don't tell anyone.) (Also, I don't know why the Hansen's website doesn't show the pomegranate diet soda -- only a green tea and pom version which is not the one I intend to marry and have babies with.)
Watch the next Netflix disc I've been hoarding. I think it's from the 4th season of "the L Word," but it could be from season 1 of "Weeds." I've downgraded from 3 Netflix discs at a time to just 2, and I still can't get through them. Damn you, DVR!
(Please forgive me, DVR, for that unfriendly outburst. I get a little carried away sometimes. I love you, DVR, almost as much as I love Diet Hansen's Pomegranate soda. I would even adopt a child with you, if you want, but I can't marry you because I am already engaged to Diet Hansen's Pomegranate.)
Okay, I'd better go take a shower and get dressed, 'cause I've got things to do. The soda isn't gonna drink itself, you know.
What flavor are those cuticles?

Posted by: cynical on April 6, 2008 12:12 PMYes. Do not speak ill of the DVR. Best. Gadget. Evah.
Posted by: tomorrow on April 6, 2008 02:25 PMWill you save me just one soda so I can at least say I've tried it??? Sounds good to me.

Posted by: KarenZipdrive on April 11, 2008 08:21 AMi want pom soda!
Posted by: Amy on April 13, 2008 06:59 PMI bought up all the pom soda at your local TJ's, Amy. I'd say I'm sorry but it'd be a lie.
Posted by: cynical on April 14, 2008 09:52 AMOK. That is it! I'm off to the store to buy the Diet Hansen's Pom Soda. It better be good! ;)
I feel confident you won't be disappointed, Chris. If you weren't already in a relationship, I'd consider polygamizing with you and Diet Hansen's Pom Soda, because once you try it, you'll want to marry it too.
And to KarenZ: Yeah. And if that makes me a lesbian, well, so be it.
