"i could drink salsa through a straw!"

i didn't say that.

i suppose this will fall more into the musing category as i haven't actually seen a movie in the last few days. also, i don't really feel like doing backtrack updates so i'll do it all within this post.

d calls four times on friday...during the work day

so friday at work was so crazy i don't want to say much more. actually, the whole day everyone was all, "what a crazy day!" yeh. anyway, i come back from being in court and check my cell phone and d has called me like four times and only left one message. i have one message on my work voice mail and it's from her too! so of course i think i should probably see what's up. i call her and she has a very excited tone. i'll cut a lot of internal dialouge out and cut to the chase - she has a friend who is interested in me and wants to hook us up. this all came as a surprise as i'm pretty open with all of my friends about my lack of interest in dating anybody. just so happens i know this friend and he's cool and all (funny as hell actually!) but again it's that whole no interest thing i have going on. so, more internal talking cut short - i did compromise and say 'yes i'll go to the movies with him and d and her man' but 'no, i'm not wanting to DATE you'. jesus.

friday night was cool. m and i decided to get some baja fresh and then check out a movie. well the movie wound up being sold out so we just went back to her place and watching some old 'sex and the city' reruns. i love that miranda - what a hoot!

i head to mt. hood for the first time

i wake up early on saturday and dress in four layers. i'm going snow tubing! yee haw! so anyway, t&t, m and i drive up to mt. hood for some tubing fun. i have never gone snow tubing before and have no idea what to expect but it sure sounds like a good time. anyway, we pay ten bucks and get a big ol' innertube. we trek to a decent looking hill and the games begin. i just had a blast! like someone said - it's nice to just be dressed up in winter gear and playing in the snow. brings out the kid in you. we even did a train - a ride where you hook legs and take off down the hill together. i EVEN went down with a person on top of my back. now that was fun! i think the only thing i didn't like were some of the children. is that harsh? i don't care. some of them had no idea of what 'courtesy' or 'waiting' mean. and their parents! they just let them do whatever. yeah, there were some pretty shitty examples of parenting on that mountain. so we go up and down and up and down for about three hours all together. then we head over to timberline for a tour of the lodges. nice. eh. i'm not a skier so it didn't do much for me. it was a gorgeous building, certainly. it was a good trip. it really made me realize that the 'snow sports' world is this whole culture i have no idea about. yet, i'm not really sure i want to know.

t is playing tour guide and drives us through the gorge and we stop in hood river for food and stretching. what a cute little town! i had fish 'n chips that were the worst i've ever had. blech!

we get back to t&t's house around eight-thirty and spend the next two and half hours just talking. it was great. it got a little intense when we were discussing m's dating process but i came to a realization about that whole situation: it's none of my business. so, yeah. i came home and crashed.

"you mean the aria from the opera where you finger fucked me right before you told me you didn't think it was going to work out and you had met a straight girl that you beleived you loved?...no i don't remember that aria"

you know - my burgeoning re-interest in "the l word" may be the only good thing about k's brunches coming to an end. i stayed post food to watch the latest episode. i can't take another tv addiction. i already have my crazy sunday nights and that feels like too much.


there hasn't been much going on today and that's been the thing of the day - i had all these plans: brunch (yum!), a movie with e (she had to help someone move), visiting w/a co-worker and her friggin' adorable son (haven't heard back...) and then a mardi gras party (actually, it's downtown and i don't like to go downtown when i'm not working). and none of them, minus brunch, have/are going to happen(ed). and that's cool.

so i went out to costco for soymilk. i do gotta have it. it took me awhile to get there because my sense of direction is, um, nonexistent. the cashier was a really f'ing rude. so now i'm back at home which i think annoys my roommate a little because she's working but i told her no worries - i just need to clean. lord! my room looks like an explosion of gross laundry and shoes. no trash taken out...no clean sheets...no night table organization...bad news for me. i'm one of those people whose environment REALLY has an effect on my sense of being. so i don't really like clutter. i'm not an anal neat freak - but mess makes me feel, well, messy. no me gusta. pues, me gustan siestas. entonces, voy a dormir ahora. mmm...siestas.
