Bad girl, or INDULGENCE

I was feeling a little moody earlier. Did I mention that I'm an emotional sponge? I felt bad about Lisa's grad school travails, and I'm a little annoyed by the yoga teacher pavement-pounding (though I do have 2 subbing gigs and a class later this month, but waiting to hear about my latest audition is annoying). I did exchange emails with my writing class teacher earlier, and she hoped I was still working on my novel. I told her I was. Hopefully she'll be into looking at it when it's done, and offer advice. She is a published authoress.

(Preview of Inside Man on TV right now. Clive Owen is cute.)

Anyway, I was a bad girl. I walked D to his office, intending to go to yoga afterward, and he got a brownie at Antique Cafe. So of course I had to get one too, and instead of waiting till after yoga like a good girl, I ate it. Now you're not supposed to do yoga with anything in your tummy, because you're twisting around and so forth. It could make you queasy.

Realizing that yoga post-brownie was a bad idea, I decided to eat an early dinner instead. So I bought some peanut-avocado rolls, which are like peanut butter & jelly for grownups. (I'm really just a kid, but anyway). Then I immersed myself in Friends on one of those rerun channels. They were all so young, like babies, and Jennifer Aniston still had baby fat. It's cute.

Also, I looked up House on fox.com to see when it would be on next. Sundry friends and family members have recommended it, but no one told me Robert Sean Leonard was in it.

Now, I had a crush on Robert Sean Leonard when Dead Poets Society came out. Does anyone else remember the scene where he had a crown of thorns on and they played that otherworldly music? I thought it was so deep. (OK, I can't believe I admitted that.)

BEARETTE!! I had the hugest crush on RSL, too. He was just the right mix of sensitivity and defiance. And I thought his eyes looked like pools of melted chocolate.

Uhhh... yeah.

I remember that scene in Dead Poets Society. I think I probably have that entire movie memorized, and I always cry when he kills himself.

I like House quite a bit. And after the Golden Globes when I heard Hugh Laurie speak, I became thoroughly impressed with his acting ability--not the just accent change, but his entire demeanor and tone of voice changed. Pretty cool.

I remembered the movie and the scene, but no, no crush on him here, lol. Rebel without a clue, I thought, much like myself...

I never saw "Dead Poets Society."

I miss House. I looked for it last night, but it wasn't on. :^(

Another one of my favorite scenes from Dead Poets is when he makes Ethan Hawke's desk set "fly". I thought, what a rebel-- he's wasting perfectly good office supplies!

Loved DPS and also had a crush on RSL.

If it makes you feel any better, I ate six! chocolate-chip, M&M cookies AND licked the pudding bowl clean after making Mama Crystal's banana pudding thing. I didn't actually get to eat the MCBPT because I was starting to feel a little sick by then. :-)

Oh, and I didn't go to the gym like I was supposed to.

MCBPT - I love it ;)

I did end up going to Pilates at 8:30 to assuage my guilt.

Liz - he made it fly with such quiet assurance ;)

House is an awesome show, it can really suck you in. and you're right about the food before yoga thing, I did this to myself a couple of times. no fun.

I also loved DPS but I had more of a thing for Todd Anderson (Ethan Hawke) and Knox Overstreet (Josh Charles)than RSL - but I did bawl copiously when he died.

Hugh Laurie is a genius - you must see "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" if you get the chance.

I've seen a few episodes of House and I was shocked to see an ex-soapie star from Australia, Jesse Spencer, as one of the leads!

michelle - yeah, no food for 2 hrs beforehand is the rule of thumb...i should have followed it...but the brownie was too tempting ;)

VK - interesting. for me, RSL was the movie ;)

I just thought every guy in DPS was hot. But RSL was definitely my fave. Did you see him in Much Ado about Nothing? LOVED IT.

i liked him in Much Ado, but DPS was my fave. Kenneth Branagh was kinda cute back in the day...esp. in "Dead Again".

As long as I've been reading your blog that's seems to be the first workout you've ever missed. I'm afraid I'm much more easily distracted. Enjoy your indulgences. Those peanut-avocado rolls sound wonderful.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

Eventful

A lot has happened today already. I went to meet D for lunch and along the way I spotted a Boston terrier -- one blue eye, one brown. I stooped to pat it and then I heard an ear-bruising screech!! Everyone's head whipped around. Even the dog jumped. A taxi had squealed to a halt and there was a delivery boy on its hood. Somebody yelled, "Call an ambulance!" The boy seemed fine, even hopping on his bike to finish his deliveries -- but everyone persuaded him to stay. I took out my cell phone but another woman was already giving details to 911. After the woman finished the call, I was satisfied that help was on its way, so I continued. There were a bunch of rubberneckers/supporters gathered around the boy, so he wasn't alone. The dog stayed too. I was shaken by this, of course, but then something amusing happened. A few blocks later, I knelt down to pat a beagle tied outside a coffee shop, and it let loose with this big mournful howl: AROOOO. Everyone smiled, including a...
