Joshua and Bevin

It seems that I’ve been eating there a lot lately.  I say “a lot,” and really mean “at all,” because I don’t usually go there.  But Josh’s grandparents got back from their Florida trip last night and are going out for dinner with his parents, and of course we were invited to go along.  The free food should be fun at least.

Although, I just read an article today about a woman (I’m not sure where) who found a grasshopper leg (a large one) in her salad.  By crunching down on it.  Oof.  That’s more grasshopper than I’d like to deal with thank you.  I was telling Josh online a few minutes ago that it’s not exactly the best type of article to read right before going to the aforementioned restaurant, but hey, like I said: free food.

So that’s the plan for tonight.  Friday my dad wants to get together for breakfast again, which should include a decent amount of yummy.

Oh, and I had coffee with my mom this morning.  I called her at about 7:30am because I couldn’t get back to sleep after Josh left for work, and she thought it’d be a good idea.  It was fun to talk, although Laura & Gordon seem to be having some “issues” with their daughter Nikki, which is amusing enough for me.  I don’t think I’ll talk about it here though.

Does anyone else think that 90’s music sounds so “old school” these days? Right now I’m listening to the “Top 200 Hits of the 90’s”, which is quite fun, but at the same time odd. I know most of the songs since I used to be a big radio listener during that period… this is one of those playlists that evokes memories when listening to it. Of course, some of the songs are either R&B or Rap, which I don’t have much knowledge about. But I certainly know who The Verve, the Spice Girls, and Natalie Imbruglia, and Savage Garden are.

Speaking of Ms. Imbruglia, I’m sure you’ve all seen these two (1, 2) videos roaming around the internet, right? If you know her song, it’s hilarious stuff. Well, even if you don’t know it well. First video is just David Armand himself, and the second is a different performance, but this time he’s not alone. Both are great… I’d suggest checking out the first link, well, first, if only because you can see the performance a bit better.  I have way too much fun with this.

We’re on Season 8 already… oof!  It looks like we’ll be spending all day today and tomorrow finishing out what episodes we have here at the studio.

Speaking of things to watch, has anyone had a chance to see The 300 either yesterday or today?  Sure it’s early, but some people are bound to be fanatical, and if I know one of them I’d like to see what they thought.  I’m off to see it tomorrow night with Josh I think… his friend Brian called and invited us, and it looks like we’re going unless I tell Josh I don’t want to go.  I think it’ll be us, Brian, and someone else and his girlfriend, no idea who they are.  Josh has met the one guy once.

I’ll have to write about what I think of the movie when we get back.

I love my shuffle.  Shuff shuff shuff!

Josh came home today with a surprise for me… an iPod Shuffle! -grin-

It’s a blue one, and was on refresh. And of course, Josh gets his employee discount on top of that, which is why he bought it. Apparently, back when V-day was around, he was planning on getting one for me then, but since none showed up on refresh at the time he didn’t bother. Might as well wait for a discount eh?

Anyway, I’m totally excited about it… and it’s really cute. I’ve already loaded it with “Top 200 Hits of the 90’s”. Should be lots of fun. Woo!

For me, I think I’m affected by the weather in a big way. They say that people feel more depressed during the winter, and happier during the summer. I think that’s true for me, although I never realize it until summer comes along.

Point is, I have a major headache that I’ve had since early this morning. Josh got up to leave for work, and I had enough of a headache that I figured drinking tea and staying up might be the solution, because often I get headaches because I sleep too much. Well, it didn’t quite work out, and at this point it’s not quite bothersome enough that I want to take advil, especially since we’re down to 4 pills and haven’t gone to the store to grab some more.

In other news, they’re doing a fire alarm test in our apartment building today, which can be anywhere from 2-5pm, so Josh has suggested that I meet him at work at 2. Apparently he has something he says “isn’t that exciting” for us to do while we’re waiting… which is totally fun for me but at the same time a bit odd, since I have no clue what this “unexciting” thing could be. Either way, I’ll have to start getting ready soon.

I’m going to go take some advil.

I used to have a LiveJournal, and I used to write a lot of private entries. Not for the first couple of years mind you, but I definitely did later on. Now that I have this WordPress account, I’ve been trying to find ways to import my LJ posts, which has led me to read a few of the old ones. Oof! I want to be able to use whatever my current journal is to write “in the moment” angry-at-the-world posts every once and awhile… but that will be hard unless I can find an easy way to make entries private. I know there are some plugins for making individual entries private, but I need to make my whole Archive category private (the one that will contain my old LJ entries).

Who knows what I’ll end up doing. I’ll have to talk to Josh about it tonight, and in the meantime get on with the knitting!
