Update, and it's about time.

I haven't put a real entry in this journal in a few days, have I?

Since the last one, I've done the following:

1) Had a drink in the Muddy Charles for the first time Tuesday night with ringer
2) Went to dance class (a particularly intensive one)
3) Received a little wooden dreidel from my manager for the first night of Hanukkah
4) Watched the last installment of Tin Man which, while it wasn't great, was rather entertaining.
5) Ate delicious Thai food: steamed seafood in a yummy hot and sour broth
6) Watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and laughed my ass off

It's been a pretty good week. 5&6 made for a very nice date last night. Tonight, it looks like pierceheart and I will be going to Jacob Wirth for this. Tomorrow...I have no clue. We'll see.

I've been a good girl diet-wise all week, and have still managed to go out to eat one night and have a martini another night. Yay!

Now, MIT is giving us Monday, December 24 and Monday, December 31 off in addition to the holidays that fall on the Tuesdays of those weeks. I need to take Wednesday, December 26 off as well because that's when I'm coming back from Maryland. I couldn't really find much of a good reason to take off the 27th and 28th as well, but since I couldn't really find a good reason NOT to do so, I've just requested it. So I will be on vacation from probably noonish on 12/21 through 1/2, and will only burn three vacation days in the process! Considering I have about 19 days so far and am continuing to accrue more, I really think I SHOULD burn some. :)

If I only had a heart.

"Tin Man" felt very much like it had been "done before." Parts of it were very Firefly, and parts were straight out of Blade Runner...
Nothing was stunning or original.
Sad.
It was pleasant to watch, however.

Yeah, that's about it. I liked the outfit on Neal McDonough, too. Yum! That was sufficient to keep me entertained.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is an awesome movie. If you haven't seen it you should probably also see Brick. (not quite as crazy, but fun in the same way)

It made me think of A Life Less Ordinary in many ways.
