i woke up around nine this morning, padded into the living room to find karey dozing to chariots of fire. i was just in time to see my boy's final race. "he that honours me, will i honor." good good good.

we had a roommate waffle breakfast with all the goods piled high on the coffee table. i sat on the super low couch and dropped a piece of waffle with blackberry jam on it face down on my sleeping bottoms while accepting a piece of brie from sarita. i'm sure that bit of information will make everyone fee nice and comfortable, like all is as it should be in the world.

karey has straightened elicia's hair. i heard of this plan over waffles. of course, i've tried to get elicia to let me straighten her hair for a long time. she always says "maybe sometime... not today." or says that she wants it done when she won't be going anywhere so she can see if she likes it and yadda yadda yadda. but today she succumbed to karey without so much as an objection. a day when she's going to church, and it's raining. i guess i don't have what it takes. but secretly i think i could have done it better. not that i'm petty and bitter or anything. everyone will be glad to know that i had a talk with elicia yesterday and i said sorry with my tail between my legs and all is well in zion.

last night steve picked me up in his dad's truck and we went to the boathouse in richmond for dinner. apparently it's the lobster fest time of year, and there were a lot of lobster festers there. steve had steak and lobster thermadore and i had the salmon sampler, which was really good. we shared some king crab legs. "this is the kind of seafood i like." said steve. i smiled. it was very good. we dipped our crab in a little bubbling pot of butter. later we went in search of the pianist, but it proved fruitless at block buster, roger's aaaaaaaand london drugs. after london drugs we went back to steve's defeated. instead i chose one from his collection. in the bedroom with sissy, marisa and tom. it was actually a very good movie except that the ending is horridly horrible. but i liked the truthful depiction of grief and relationships. that's the part i really remember. it's very subtle. and it's beautifully shot.

today the choir is singing in church and we have to go early to practice. so i have only 45 min to get ready. not good. not good at all.
