I'm still undecided whether I want to go to the company holiday party. Part of me wants to go, 'cause it might be fun, but part of me just says meh, I see these people every day, and I haven't had a weekend off in months. Now, if it were at Buon Appetito, I would so be there. First, the food! It is scrumptious. And second, not in Springfield! Bonus that it's in Westfield. I still have a couple of hours before I have to decide. But right now I'm leaning toward staying home.

Went to the library to pick up The Uses of Enchantment. Not sure how this might help my writing; it's written by a child psychologist, and it's about how fairy tales relate to children's lives. It sounds like it would be right up capriuni's alley, though! I'll leaf through it and see if there's anything useful in there for me. One never knows!

I started reading blackholly's book, Tithe, yesterday. Read some more this morning. Urban fantasy, my most favoritest genre. So far it's drawing me in, which is a good thing, even though I don't really relate to the protagonist. When I was sixteen, I was such a goody-two-shoes.

The sun is out! I don't remember the last sunny day we had. It was sometime last year. I know, the year's less than a week old, but still. Too long. I should probably go out for a walk, but I probably won't. I have a very tender neck & shoulder, which is making want to just curl up under a throw and read and sip tea. Or maybe watch one of the DVDs I got from Netflix today. I have Must Love Dogs and Jim Henson's Storyteller: The Greek Myths to choose from. Last night it was Lewis Black, followed by a fresh episode of Battlestar Galactica. OMG, I am so addicted to that show! It just keeps getting better.

One of my neighbors is having a shouting match. Lovely.

hmmmmmm...

OK, it's not a shouting match going on next door. It sounds more like lunatic raving, or perhaps a private poetry slam. Either way, I am more convinced than ever that my neighbor is nuts.

Eep!

I didn't go to the party. My subconscious decided for me: I fell asleep, and woke up at 5:00. Oh well! Like I said, I didn't really want to go anyway. The only regret I have is that everyone's going to ask me on Monday where I was. And I can't really tell them that I was on a train, running from a werewolf. I have the weirdest dreams when I take naps!

Both movies were thumbs-down. The Jim Henson Storytellers DVD was a big disappointment; they played fast and loose with the mythology, and they really lost me. It was just dull.

Must Love Dogs was everything I don't like about romantic comedies: cliched, wooden, artificial. Even Diane Lane and John Cusack couldn't save it. I also resent the fact that people think a woman can't be complete unless she's in a relationship. Sheesh.
