self-titled: ^_^

if i could be granted one wish, and only one wish, it'd be that tomorrow is monday and begins a full work week. and then if i were somehow so lucky to be granted another wish, it would be that next week i have another full work week and the spanish class of the damned begins. sigh, if only i were so lucky.

i watched the first episode of buffy yesterday and it was magical. It was like falling in love for the first time. again. my heart goes out to buffy, nevermind the fact that i don't live in sunnydale, but she's got a tough lot in life, all those vampires and such. but people seem to overlook the toughest thing for her. not the vampires, hell no. she's a girl in high school, she's got all that stuff to deal with, she can't have a normal social life, go on dates with boys, and when she finally gets with a guy, well. plus, she's got an overbearing mother who doesn't trust her and then there are all the goddam hellspawn. she's a true hero.

so drove out to the barking crab last night, met the kids. it's a real fun place. despite our having reservations, it was like an hour before they seated us, but hey, it's a nice summer night and it's out on the water and there's a bar and i'm allowed in it now. so we chilled out for a while, then sat. i had shrimp scampi largely because it came with garlic bread and it was delicious. went home, and miraculously, at about 11pm, there was a parking spot right outside my place.

i went down to err, the white horse tavern or some place, met up with oly lori kyle and laura and druan and drew were there and i had grownup drinks and then booked it at around 1 or so to go to diana's to meet the other kids. they were all playing 7-11 doubles, the table was full so i just chilled until everyone left, finished up a beer with darren and then kicked it to the homestead.

today i spent some time with several of my favorite video and computer games and then got indoctrinated into the world of sealab 2021. it's this show that i guess runs during adult swim on saturday nights on cartoon network. it's that old 70s style animation a la space ghost. sealab 2020 was a real cartoon back in the day, so they brought it back, same animation, one year later, but with space ghost style humor. it's lovely. 12 minute episodes so it never wears out its welcome and the captain is by god the funniest guy in the world. he sends out the entire crew out to the ocean for a find or die mission to retrieve his happy cake oven, "it's not a toy. it makes real cupcakes. with a 40 watt bulb. and there's icing packets. but the secret ingredient is love. dammit." oh and the show has erik estrada as one of the voices. i love quality tv that i only watch when i download it to my computer.

then i ordered chinese food. flirted with thai for a while, but realized i don't know thai food and kung pao chicken is always reliable. so i ate that and popped in T2. yay. 11 years later and the T-1000 effects still totally kick ass. i've wanted to watch this since the T3 logo trailer on thursday. i'm worried about T3. arnold is the only one returning. no cameron, no writing guy, no linda, even furlong isn't coming back to play 20something john connor. oh, and the bad terminator is a chick. sounds a little sketchy. did i mention claire danes is in the cast? yeah, i think skynet becoming self-aware is a more comforting scenario.

i had something interesting and/or insightful i meant to remember but i forgot it.
