This Boy

Had a great lazy day, refusing to step out into negative the temperature for more than groceries.
Woke up with a hangover which I cured with an Advil, a bottle of Pellegrino, and rose-scented suds in a hot hot shower. Ran 20 steps to the courtyard market to stock up on ingredients for the family recipes my mom emailed me. Polynesian Chicken, you will be mine.
Caroline stopped by. We youtubed trailers, and nerdily exchanged the film content of our external hardrives. I got to listen to the fairy sounds of her Swedish conversation, while she used my Skype phone to call home. We shared a pita lunch while laughing at The Swedish Chef who shot bullets through moofins to make donuts. Then it was time for her to head out. "A lundi!"
Cleaned up, and spent the last hours researching. (i.e. finding loads of cool stuff on the internet).
It's been a good day.
Now I'm planning to shed my over-sized sweatshirt, and pull out some heels. Just meeting Emma for a movie, but days spent mostly inside somehow give me the inspiration/motivation to..make an effort ?
Here we go.
Having nothing to do on a Friday night generally leads me to one of two evening outcomes:
1. Extreme productivity
2. Dissapointment with myself, resulting from too much time spent clicking around the internet, without finding anything worthwhile to click on.
I feel that tonight leaned, in a healthy way, towards number 1.
I showered at the gym, came home and gave my room a good spring cleaning, did a load of laundry, cleared my CF card, enveloped and addressed a letter, filed my receipts for my boss, bought cough syrup at the night shop, and finally watched all the trailers I hadn't seen on apple.
The last activity led me to compile this list of things which I'm looking forward to watching at one point or another:
This is Leo, my new little charge. He's a dancing fiend.
He's really a sweet little boy. I'm already feeling quite attached to both kids.
Anyway, watch these, and TRY to not feel attached.
