is my amp too high?

NO TURN IT UP MORE!!!!!


ok. quickly now.

andrew came up today! so fun! we went to Salt Hill for lunch. it was packed! why was it so crowded? we couldn't figure it out. our table was next to these huge professional guys wearing suits and eating big burgers. we both had black bean and chicken quesadillas. they were delish. AND, we got Bulmers. or, Magners in the states. the irish hard cider that we drank non stop in irelnd!!!! ooooo it was so delicious and nostalgic. it made me think of Billy and his mom and his grandma.

then we went to go see Brothers. the Nat Port/Tobey Maguire/Emily's boyfriend Jake movie. it was pretty good. there wasn't much dialogue. and it was different than i expected. and i kept wondering throughout the whole movie what it would be like if it was the way i thought. i still can't decide if it would have been better or worse.

saw a trailer for Salt. that Angelina Jolie movie. i hadn't seen a trailer for it yet. i was surprised. it looked okay. she's all like,

ANGELINA: Do you have information that a Russian spy is going to kill the president?
GUY SHE'S INTERROGATING: Yes. I know the name.
ANGELINA: Tell me the name!!!!!
GUY SHE'S INTERROGATING: The name of the spy is.....Evelyn Salt.
ANGELINA: Haha, no. My name is Evelyn Salt.
GUY SHE'S INTERROGATING: Then you are the Russian spy.

then she books it down the hallway and has to dye her hair and everything because now everyone is after her. i think she's the spy.

anyways.

it was a fun day with Andrew. Ruby Tuesday was excited to see him. he calls her Rosebud.

it's been really cute. all night Ruby has been laying on the kitchen floor in front of the heater. just like, rolling around. and one time she actually went up and curled up right around it. which made me really nervous because there's a flame in there.

so. what did i do tonight?

i tried to watch The Office, but it wouldn't work. so i watched one episode of 30 Rock. it was terrific. and then i watched 24 minutes of Heroes and then fell asleep.

so, i took a nap from 7:50 to 8:25pm. then finished watching Heroes.

thursday night i thought i was getting the flu. i was really achy and my skin hurt. and i was really worried that i was going to have to cancel on andrew.

so i went to bed early. and when i woke up i was feeling better. still all stuffed up. and i took some cold medicine during the day. i wasn't feeling so great again tonight. but, i'm going to go to bed soon.

then tonight i watched an episode of True Blood and two episodes of How I Met Your Mother. i finished season 3!!! or, season 4. which ever is not this season, but the last season. it was really good. that show is super funny. i think it should win awards for writing because i think the writing is very clever. and it's great because there's all kinds of references to past episodes and future episodes. it's kind of crazy. it's like if Lost were a sitcom about living in New York.

hopefully i can get to the post office on saturday before noon because i should have Taking Woodstock waiting for me. and i want to see that. also i need stamps.

anyways. okay. i think i might try and go to bed.

oh! today in the movie theater, when we bought our tickets, they informed us that the heat was broken in the theater and we were like, "yeah, that's fine!"

it was FREEZING. like, so, so cold. i couldn't feel my feet like, halfway through the film. and it doesn't help that it takes place mostly during winter. so it looks cold on the screen. it was sooooo cold. it was probably in the 40's. no joke. because we walked outside and it didn't feel that much different. it was a good thing that Jake Gyllenhaal was there. he added a few degrees.

alright. 1:43am. saturday morning. and i think i am going to bed. i have to go get an extension cord today. because my apartment is severely lacking in outlets. for realz.

i think i am also going to put up my other sets of twinkle lights today. in the dark, front room. that would be a good room for a vampire to sleep in because it is so dark and creepy. hey, i'm just saying, if either Stephen Moyer or Alexander Skarsgard wanted to sleep there - they could. heck, even Anna Paquin. she's totally hott.

i think they were making snow on the mountain behind my house last night. or, early friday morning. because i woke up at 6am and looked at the star on the mountain and there was this other bright light moving up and down the hill and there was a giant cloud of snow in the sky. it was strange.

ok. now it's 1:49am. now i'm going to get into bed. because i'm tired and still don't really feel great. and kara is coming to visit on sunday and i have to be better.

UGH i also have to get up with the baby again starting on sunday. UGH UGH. not looking forward to that very much.

okay. i hope everyone has a great weekend! a great saturday! i'll talk to you later, i'm sure.

i'm really looking forward to saturday. i can't quite figure out why. i think it will be a beautiful day.
