Austin?

I think there is a time in every girl's life when Jane Austen is her best friend. Not as in real true life friend -- more of "bosom buddies" on the order of Anne of Green Gables. Rather she feels such a kindship with Ms. Austen -- and can call herself no other but a great friend. Do boys do this with Lord of the Rings or the Chronicles of Narnia? Perhaps the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy? Which I might add had a dissapointing box office return. Somehow I don't think it's the same thing.

Perhaps I should start reading about Archaeology again and stop philosophizing about Jane Austen....

And now for the Weekend update, with your host: Tina Fay

I only wish I had the ingenuity that Tina Fay has in her writing... I'm afraid I'm a desperate lot and most often any attempts at being humorous fall flatter than the breasts in the Itty Bitty Titty Committee. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), this weekend was relatively tame. Lots of drinking -- but not that exciting. Didn't really get to meet a lot of new people.

While I'm waiting impatiently to get into the single stall in the ladies room -- I recieved the most amazingly wretched drunk pickup line weirdness. "Will you marry me."

Me: "Um okay -- so I just want to pee." Drunken boy: "But will you ...

Nicest Weather EVER!

The ride to work this morning was amazing. It was some of the nicest weather that I've seen in a long time. Almost 60 deg F, sunny, just nice. I want more of this weather. Bought tickets today for BOSTON! I'm in major need of a mini-break and in major need of getting away from work for a few days. I'm so excited to go back! I miss it sooo much. It's hard living somewhere you don't like. It just makes me think of looking for another job so that I don't have to live here anymore. But I'm not even partially vested yet -- so I need to stay at least a full year to become at least partially vested. *Sigh* Work stucks today for so many reasons. I'm glad it's friday. And I'm really glad I get to go to Boston next weekend. Yeah for Boston!
