1. I usually stick with Riesling when it comes to wines. It's sweet, light and best of all, it's white. I don't like red wines if I can help it. But, the other day, Wal-Mart upped the price of the Riesling I normally buy, so on a whim I bought a Pinot Grigio instead. It's a bit more acid-y and also a bit more like juice. It's good, but it's not great.
2. This weekend was dull dull dull. Went to the eye-doctor and got new frames/lenses. Mine are by Kenneth Cole Reaction, a line I used to hate. See, if I want Kenneth Cole, I want Kenneth Cole, not Kenneth Cole's sad little Reaction line. Unfortunately, while I happen to like Kenneth Cole, my wallet prefers Reaction. Just like my wallet prefers DKNY to Donna Karan and A/X to Armani (I will NEVER purchase Emporio Armani. That's just tacky).
3. I got not one, but two raises at work this week, so yay! One was my usual quarterly raise and the other was for top performer of the quarter. It's great news, because I be broke here. New apartment and all. I still have bills to pay and shit. Which reminds me that I need to cancel my Netflix subscription before they charge me for another month.
That's all for this update, as my hands hurt from typing at work all week. I'm ready for a vacation. Maybe to Montserrat!
Actually, surprisingly, they are. Not that their new song sounds anything like anything on the radio now, instead sounding like everything that ever hit the radio between 1997 and six weeks later in 1997. It's bad. Not a fan...
Anyway, the point is that I'm moved into my new apartment and things have so far been going swimmingly. Well, except for the drama with the whole getting the internet/phone service up and running. I now have more bills than I used to. And I don't really like that. I'm thinking of shutting down my Netflix account and switching to another TiVo account. Because you see, my current Tivo is fine, but it's like Vintage TiVo, so it's got the lifetime subscription, which isn't sold anymore. So, I'm keeping that one for sure. Then, Lee gave me his Series 2 TiVo (seriously, the thing was untouched, the manuals were still in the shrink wrap). I'm going to be using that one. I just can't decide whether to put it in the bedroom or attach it to the main TV and just use the other one for something else. Either way. I just don't know.
Also, I now have a kind of stalker. It's weird. He and I have this weird sparky thing between us. But we've never actually done anything together. Anyway, he showed up on the bus on Tuesday and wanted to hang out today. Got out of it because of work obligations, but it was close. It's not that I don't like him, it's just that he comes on SO strong. On the plus side, he's sort of well off and he's pretty decent some of the time. Plus, he has a lot of friends, which could become my friends if I play my cards right. The only problem is that I have to be friends with him and not anything more, which I believe he wants. Something more than friends, I mean. I guess. I don't know. All I do know is that he really kind of bugs me, but I like that he does or something. It's kind of complicated. And he's not even that cute (not that that's ever stopped me from anything before, haha).
So there's my abysmal little update. I was going to cook myself some dinner, but I think I might just order a pizza or something. Who can say?
