and there's a feeling in my heart, i can't explain, i'm coming home, i'm coming home..

"uh-oh" i said when i saw katie. she despairingly admitted that she didn't know if she could ever live up to that time when we stayed up talking forever. we did talk for a while but it didn't take long for us to all fall asleep. and it seemed like i was asleep only minutes by the time dad was waking me up at seven to drive him and martha to the airport. "martha, you need to brush your hair." dad instructed. "you dont' brush curly hair, dad." i mumbled in my weariness. you'd think the man would know that. "i brush mine." he declared. i guess not. i went in my jammies.

a little later katie, kim and i left to see if the threading place was open. it was not. so we drove back, picked up elicia who promised profusely before we left "i'll be ready when you get back. i will! i'll be waiting outside!" but even though i called her to tell her we were near, she was still not waiting as promised on the sidewalk. pie crust promiser. her feeble excuse was something about turning off all the lights. "ya right you were probably with the cats" i said knowingly. kim let us listen to her hairspry soundtrack while we drove. for some reason we talked about sex education and when you have the talk and what they tell you and when at school. and i still think it makes more sense for a baby to come out the bellybutton. i was so shocked when i found out differently. a bulging belly and the regina seem totally unrelated.

i then came home to a quiet house and i thought of many things i should do. i should go shopping for groceries, i should clean the floors, i should clean the bathroom, i should work on my lesson, but instead i did some time wasting activity and then went to my room and fell asleep. the rest of my saturday was very low on the productivity side and i did not leave the house and i ordered pizza even.

do you think it's wrong to wear a pilsner hat?

last night heather and i went to see harry potter at the imax in richmond. it was fun. at first i thought that we'd have the whole place to ourselves but that didn't happen. when we walked in and were looking for seats heather asked me where i wanted to sit. "how about here?" i pointed to a row of seats in the middle that had a low wall that i was eyeing to put my feet up on. "that's too close! my eyes would (some unintelligable sound that only heather can make)". "how about here she said standing in front of a row only two rows up. i raised an ironic brow but she took no notice. heather brought me a plum and a payday bar (she knows from our cali trip that it's my fave american bar).

afterwards heather told me her disappointments with the movie. at some things she's more rigid than i, but one part we agree on.
