I woke up, made some coffee and surfed the net. Finished up L’homme que j’aime, stayed in bed and watched tv all day. Went to dinner with Norman at Damon’s Steakhouse. Came home and slept. This is pure exhaustion from Saturday.

lotusblossom, saltyseas and I went over to Magic Mountain. Unfortunately saltyseas was a little hungover so he decided not to go on any rides. We went on Viper, Tatsu, Goliath, Colossus and X. They were great. I hadn’t been to MM in nine years, so the new rides really fucked my shit up.

But one thing that disturbed me were the Jesus freaks that infested the park. I know there was a gospel concert on one of the stages in the park. But still. They were quite militant and scary really.

After we left, we dropped off saltyseas, picked up evildork and went over to Canters. I came home and fell asleep to L’homme que j’aime.

I’ve been working at my current job for a year and a half, and it’s the first time ever that I’ve had nothing to do. NOTHING! I don’t like that. At work I need to be constantly busy.

After work I returned the shorts to Urban. Went to dinner and had coffee until midnight with Norman. We caught up on everything going on since he left for Europe last month. Got home and slept. Anticipation: Magic Mountain.

It’s so very slow at work. I got a couple of crosswords and sudoku done. After work went with lotusblossom shopping. I wanted to buy shorts for the summer (and especially the Magic Mountain trip on Saturday), and she wanted interview clothes for Tuesday.

We went to Urban Outfitters, and I bought a pair of shorts. Then we headed over to the Glendale Galleria and had some Mongolian BBQ. I put a little too much chili oil in mine, and I’m definitely feeling it this morning. We walked in on Nordstrom’s sale. I found a pair of shorts that’s cheaper than the Urban ones. Decided to return the Urban ones. Over at Express I bought a pink polo. Yes pink. I’ve officially become evil and trendy. Yup.

When I got home I tried on everything and had a complete emotional collapse: I really wanted to keep the Urban shorts. I called up lotusblossom and she talked me through the crisis. Watched Come Undone and overheard Roomie and her boyfriend arguing.

I got my desk cleaned off at work. It’s a feeling of jubilation and liberation. Started a mix when I got home. Went over to evildork‘s for our weekly movie night, but found out it was cancelled. Got a chicken parmesean sub at Subway, worked on the best of Pizzicato Five mix. I’m testing it out today. Watched the last disc of Queer as Folk Season 4 and fell asleep.

It’s a good thing it’s slow at work. It gives me time to clean up on some old issues. That means my desk gets cleaner and cleaner. That is the lone highlight of the day.

Woke up early this morning to go to the gym. It’s been several months since I’ve gone, and my how out of shape I am. After jogging for five minutes I was out of breath. But I did my thing, came home, showered and went to work. I anticipated having tons of messages since I was out on Friday. Thankfully I didn’t have too many. When I got home, I wanted to go to market but ended up falling asleep. Woke up and got a meatball sub from Subway, gabbed with the Roomie and here I am.

I was very angry yesterday when I woke up so I ended up mopping the kitchen floor. I had a nice therapeutic conversation with lotusblossom and talked with N___ who just got back from a three-week trip to Europe. Since it wasn’t too warm, I did my laundry and that’s about it. Just a non-productive day.

This morning I watched the US tie Italy in the World Cup match and noted how soccer players are quite hot. Perhaps among the hottest athletes in the world? Maybe. Then did some errands and took quite a long nap. Woke up to shower and get to urbanemonkey‘s bday dinner. Now I’m home, listening to Fiona Apple and probably going to watch some Queer as Folk in a bit.

I took a sick day off of work and woke up at 10. Got lunch with lotusblossom and helped her shop at Old Navy. I was supposed to go to Target but decided to put that off. I did some writing, read some emails, newgroups etc. I had a craving for fried chicken so I went to Popeyes. A couple of hours later I realized I need cigarettes so I went and got some. It’s great to drive around in a car with A/C blasting on a hot day. I composed a letter to the gays trying to organize “A Day without a Fag”. Played a Texas Hold ‘Em tournament on my computer and won.
