Saturday inside

squamousHere we are at the fabulous weekend, the luxurious private time in which one can enjoy whatever life one has constructed. Predictably I am a little let down so far today by my own drag-ass approach to the whole thing. Also I noticed that the living room of my apartment has an odd smell to it that I can't quite place. Now you really want to come over, right? Normally despite not being a hippie, I would burn some truly unfeasible amount of incense in hopes of correcting this, but at the moment have no such resources at hand. Guess I will spray a little Glade and hope for the best.
Today so far: got up, fondled the computer a little, went back to bed for awhile, got up again and talked to Jim. He came by and we went to lunch. He wanted to go to Chevys for lunch. Not really my scene but he was driving and I was fine with it. We talked about work some, and I got some Jim advice on various matters. He thought I should let go of the security deposit thing that had been gnawing at me some.
After we ate we wound up killing time at a couple stores. I have to admit I sorta hate shopping as recreation, though I am as prone to it as anyone else, if not moreso. I can be so judgmental and I always kind of judge against myself if I feel like I am watching too much TV or trying to buy my way to personal fulfillment. This judgment doesn't stop the censured activity, far from it, rather just sort of sours everything. My strategies are so poor. And yet I am so much fun. You have no idea. Yeahhhh....
We wandered through Border's a little and I had to wonder man, how many times have we done something like this, years hanging out in our youth, visiting music or book stores. I should've suggested that we go to Grounds for Sculpture. Places likes Borders always leave me a little zonked... something about trying to take in not only all the objects around you but all the text on them, plus the people... gets me dizzy almost. Jim had seen Royal Tenenbaums finally though so at least I now had someone around that I could talk to about that flick. He needs to watch Pioneer House too, so that we can discuss that!
After idling for awhile we headed out. I am still at a loss as to how to get around on the roads up here. I guess I'll get it eventually. Jim dropped me off and went home to play Warcraft III. I am gonna see about doing laundry (finally) and hopefully tend to a few other chores. I am sure the television, now that I have badmouthed it, will be recruited to amuse and distract me as well.
