today i....

had ginger cat cookies and coffee in bed while watching the re-broadcast of the news from 9/11 9 years ago... i don't know why i watch it... but i always do... will they ever stop playing it... and will i ever be able to not watch....? and Dr Phil, is this normal...? :[

stopped being polite and really did start getting real... i am sure i will regret it in the morning when the person i stopped being polite with realizes i started getting real and wonders what on earth happened to me and if someone hijacked my email address :) but it really IS ok, because i MEANT what i said and i said what i meant - and i'm not being nice anymore!! i am balancing my emotional checkbook daily and crossing people out who make me feel emotionally poor, with big thick black permanent sharpie Xs

shopped at the sublime japanese supermarket in costa mesa. i absolutely love the japanese supermarket - it's so unbelievably cute! it's like going to Tokyo for the weekend without having to take off your shoes at the airport or get squeeeeezed into a jam packed subway train or eat live fish or anything like that. and best of all, right outside, it's america again :)

went to the japanese 99 cent store - which i DO NOT love quite so much :[ firstly 99 cents is really $1.98 and some things are even more, which is just wrong :( and the bento boxes were sooo teeny tiny, i started to question if we are all giants compared to japanese people :( an uncrustable wouldn't fit in those bento boxes cut in half, and the little cups would hold one grape MAXIMUM... i left empty handed :(

went to a place called 'the burnt tortilla' for dinner. however upon checking every item on the darned menu, there was not a single dish boasting burnt tortillas so we left there also :(

had Rubio's fish tacos for dinner - the icky fried battered fish ones. even Friday the cat was woefully unimpressed... note to self: do yourself a favor and stick with wahoo's

bought a voodoo doll. and she is pretty cool with an massive head for bashing on my desk :) i got her from a vending machine at the japanese supermarket (i think japanese people must be really quite awesomely vicious underneath their proper exteriors) i only have one issue with my voodoo doll so far - her eyes are little red beads and i can't penetrate them with a pin :(

off to bed to watch 'come dine with me' - the most awesome show EVER on bbc america to date (excluding 'little britain')
