You guys, I bought so much unnecessary stuff today. That's what happens when I go to Barnes & Noble by myself: it's like taking Star Jones to a Sizzler and expecting her not to stuff pieces of carrot cake into her purse for later. I dropped $150 inside of thirty minutes. I bought the Band Of Brothers DVD set (rationalizing the purchase by calling it "research" for my Master's thesis, which, pfft!, am I right?); Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (I didn't have to rationalize that one to myself); The Great Escape (STEVE MCQUEEEEEEN!); Wit (EMMA THOMPPPPPSON AND CAAAANCER!); To Catch A Thief (a purchase based entirely on this promotional photo); and Wonder Boys (because, someday, I too hope to be able to walk around in a drafty old house in a natty bathrobe, smoking pot and working on a 10,000 page novel that I'll never finish; sometimes I'll go out for drinks with my sexually ambiguous editor; sometimes I'll sleep with the dean of the small East Coast college where I teach -- I have elaborate fantasies for my future.)
I meant to do so much more with my day than buy DVDs. Although, maybe I should be grateful that I still have the free time to do so; maybe in six months -- or, hell, six years -- I'll look back on May 31st, 2008 and call it the "height of my halcyon days" or something equally as pretentious. I hope I'm wearing a pair of pince-nez spectacles at the time. Because pince-nez spectacles are bad ass.
Todd and I are going to lunch/breakfast at 1:30 tomorrow. Is it considered bad form to ask for the breakfast menu at 1:30 in the afternoon? I've been told that it depends on the eatery. I don't know why places refuse to serve breakfast past a certain point in the morning. I know for a fact that I would make a staple diet out of Egg McMuffins if I could. Maybe, when I get famous enough, I'll buy my own plane and just spend my days hopping from one time zone to another, buying Egg McMuffins before the breakfast/lunch change-over. Like I said, elaborate fantasies.
Also. It is impossible to make me interested in anything that Sarah Jessica Parker does.
