On the bright side, you've still got me.

This was me this weekend: Fall asleep by 1am. Get woken up by the pets around 9am. Take Talis to the park. Make lunch. Eat lunch. Fall asleep again by about 1pm. Wake up around 4 or 5pm. Wonder what the hell is going on.
I thought I was getting sick or something. I mean, I do love sleeping, but THAT much seems overkill. But then all was explained when Aunt Flo arrived. I always get super tired and want to eat chocolate. In positive news, the massive amount of sleep has made my complexion look great this morning!
Sat. night K. and I had dinner at Olivar, which specializes in Spanish cuisine. I love the place, it's super cute and the food's great, but parking is such a PITA!
Then we went to see the closing night of episode 18 of Sex in Seattle, "an exciting episodic theatre show exploring the lives and loves of four contemporary Asian American women." I've never seen a play that used an episodic format; it actually worked better than I thought it might. At the beginning they sum up where each of the characters are in relation to the others, but it's not at all tedious. K. and I got our tickets for free, through Arts Crush. I'm not usually a huge fan of plays; with live theater I tend to prefer musicals or if a play, a whodunit. The acting in plays just seems so overdone to me, usually. Of the four women, there was one who was super over the top with her acting. K. and I were like, she needs to tone it down. Why doesn't someone save her from herself?? Then we found out that she's the one who wrote it. So of course no one's going to have the heart to tell her what she needs to hear. Plus she could be like, "Oh yeah? Well then I'm not gonna let you be in my play!!!" Teehee.
Before the play started we put our names on slips of paper for a raffle drawing. I had this feeling I was going to win (this has happened to me a couple of times before, and I won those times too), so I hoped it was something cool (they didn't actually say what the raffle was for). They were shaking the bag to mix the names up when one slip of paper flew from the bag. "Wow, it's meant to be!" the gal exclaimed. Yep, it was my name. Clearly I had folded it in such a way as to make it aerodynamic. (WhyTF can't I ever get that feeling with the lottery?) Anyway, it was 4 tickets to Burien Little Theater's 2010-2011 season. I told K. she should take the tickets and go with her kids -- from the name I assumed it was a children's theater. She was like, didn't you hear them say that the theater is currently showing something called Reefer Madness?! LOL. Hmm, okay, not a children's theater, then. Also, that night I thought we were going to drown while walking back to the car, it was raining so hard.
Then last night K. and I went to the ID to have noodles at Mike's Noodle House. I've been hearing about this place but hadn't actually ever been. I'm usually not the hugest fan of egg noodles, but these were actually pretty good. Eaten with some red vinegar and chili sauce, yum!
I'd forgotten how frustrating it is to write fanfic for a TV show. It takes a long time to craft a story, and yet every week, new twists and turns get introduced into canon, which may blow up your story to smithereens, either by direct contradiction or by making you lose the will to write any more of the story. In a way, that actually makes shipping unconventional ships more rewarding, because very little ever really changes to threaten what you were writing. It was already implausible to begin with, so who cares what new thing canon introduces?
Meanwhile, Jade has watched one -- ONE -- episode of Merlin. She doesn't have "time" because she's "working." Gah! Doesn't she know I'm waiting on tenterhooks here, to find out if this is going to be a case where we ship the same thing, or are at odds? Where is the consideration!
