The Den of Laziness

Yesterday I had this whole list of things I was going to accomplish when I got home from work:

Do the dishes, finish up a project for a friend, email a recipe, prepare for the weekend, upload some photos to myspace, straighten up, do some vacuuming, etc.

Not one of the things on this list actually happened. What did happen is I got home, changed out of my work clothes, sat down on my couch to eat dinner and proceeded instead to watch three episodes of Sex and the City followed by an hour of Miss Guided and an hour of The Office. And then I went to sleep. I did manage to do some knitting on the socks I'm currently working on, but I didn't even do too much of that. It's a little bit shameful, to be perfectly honest.

I think my apartment is some kind of crazy alternate universe which sucks all the energy and motivation out of me as soon as I walk through the door. It's possible that the sounds of the ocean right outside my window (I know, you hate me) are just so soothing that all they make me want to do is sleep and I don't realize it when it's happening. I need to figure out how to counteract it these effects. Stuff must get done! Alas.

On a completely separate topic, in preparation for the awesomeness that is going to be the Sex and the City movie (May 30, 2008) I decided to watch the entire series in order through the glory of Netflix. I'm up to season 3 so far and I have to tell you that the difference of perspective that comes from having watched these the first time from the ages of 16-22 or so and watching them again at 26 is enormous. (I know, a lot of you don't think there's a huge difference between 22 and 26. There is. I promise) When I first saw this show (at 16-17) I would think to myself, "man, these ladies are so awesome, I hope I'm that cool at that age!" Now I watch it and I think to myself, "Man, you are one crazy bitch, no wonder he's running for his life!" along with (and this may just be my sheltered Midwestern upbringing) sheer wonder at the number of guys these chicks managed to sleep with. Don't get me wrong, I'm still enjoying these episodes and I'm still excited for the movie to come out, I just didn't realize the level of ridiculous reached by some of the things these characters in their mid-30's (and later) were doing. Although, ask me again when I'm in my mid 30's and still single and I'll let you know if I've changed my mind. :)

The other show I've been reliving on DVD is Moonlighting. I remembered liking it a lot when I was younger, and I'll be honest it's probably where I first fell in love with Bruce Willis, but I didn't really REMEMBER remember it. Last weekend I watched the first three episodes and I can tell you it's still a fantastic show. Bruce is the man. Was, is, will continue to be.

Tonight Toni is having a show opening, which we will all be attending the reception for. I'm looking forward to it, as I know I've previously stated she's ridiculously talented and who doesn't love a function that includes free wine? I can't think of anyone.
