за мен, за теб, за любовта

so my lotto luck is on the rise - this morning while waiting for the T i just couldn't resist running into the convenience store to get a couple of Fast 50s. i immediately won my $2 back, so I ran in to get 2 more. i just scratched off the 2 new ones, and sure enough I've won another $2! only problem is that i'm getting embarrassed to go to the store - i feel like the asian girl hates me already and thinks my ID is fake. i can't wait until Constellation Convenience opens up down the street. then I can be a lottery junkie!

meanwhile i've found a new pasatiempo at work - tv shows online. god knows i have nothing better to do, so why not kick back and relax and catch up with the latest season of degrassi? yesterday i watched the spring break "movie" and another episode - i'm thinking at least 3 more today

the weather as of late, though stormy, has been wonderful. the fact that I can actually sleep under a sheet and not wake up sweating is glorious. i haven't even been turning my fan on!

yesterday was actually an ok day. after work i lounged around before deciding i would bike to Trader Joe's. I needed some stuff to make stuffed peppers, and then also some pine nuts to make these catalan sweet flatbread things. i also needed a little bit of anise-flavored liqueur, so when i came back i stopped next door at the liquor store. NO LUCK. wtf. all they had were bigass Sambuca, etc., and all i wanted was a nip.

anywho, i made the stuffed peppers and then came out pretty well, though i think the stuffing could have used some salt. i went to cvs and bought a pint of butter pecan ice cream and ate the entire thing while watching 'Carne Tremula', a 1997 film by Almodovar which i own but had never watched. it was a great film, though it surprisingly did not involve any trannies, as is typical of Almodovar. the closest thing was penelope cruz at the very beginning playing a pregnant prostitute.

once that was done i was ready for bed - and it was only 10 pm. i assumed mel hadn't been raped and murdered (since she still wasn't home from class) and called it a night.

after work i'll probably try out Commonwealth Sports Club since I got a 7-day free trial. i can't afford BSC or this club (if i like it) until August 1st, and my BSC trial is over, so now I'll have a week of CSC. robbie flies in from Munich today and is staying with us for a bit, so that will at least keep me somewhat entertained provided he's around. now its time for tv!
