Today was a good day. To be totally honest, that is mostly because of SLEEPING IN. After our adventurous night of bar-hopping around NYC last night, if I had woken up before 10:00AM (or before noon for that matter) this day would have been much less enjoyable.
Went down to the Jersey Shore Outlet center. That was pretty fun, I'd never been to an outlet mall before. Lots of great prices on all kinds of fancy brands (Banana Republic, Lucky Brand Jeans, Fossil, etc.). Again I'm not really a big impulse buyer when it comes to clothes, all though there were lots of things I wanted and that I think would look stunning on me. I did, however, knock running shoes and work socks off my list. We also stopped at this tasty pizza joint, and each of us ordered our own Extra-Large pie (that's east-coast-speak for pizza). So needless to say I have leftovers.
Tonight Tory and I had a date--we watched Hot Fuzz, which I think is one of the funniest movies around. She said now that she knows sort of how those movies are she'd consider watching Shaun of the Dead. I'm very excited about that, on my behalf and on hers. It's a great flick.
And I got my Christmas gift from Tory finally (not finally like "oh it took you long enough" more like finally as in i've been STEEPED in anticipation :-) ). It's a 24" x 30" canvas blow-up of what I have come to call "The Best Picture I Ever Took".
It's from my 2006 trip to Yosemite with my brother and the columbians. We camped on the shoulder of Clouds Rest which is just upstream of Half-Dome and the eponymous yosemite valley. The view was incredible and after about half an hour of taking pictures I bagged this beautiful shot of an old tree (maybe a bristlecone? I have no idea. somebody look that up.) wth Half Dome's profile in the background as the sun set over the valley. I'd like to hang it over my bed but I have to ask my landlord/roommate first.
Yay for 3-day weekends! another day off tomorrow! WHO-DEY!
