and the award goes to...

Got sucked in by yet another awards show tonight. I keep telling myself not to watch them because they last for like, forever and I can just as easily get the results from my good friend, the Internet, and see highlights on Entertainment Tonight. At least it wasn't horrible. My favorite acceptance speech (aside from that of Elaine Stritch - who the hell is she anyway?) was Meryl's:

"There are some days where I, myself, think that I'm overrated...but not today!"

I seriously need to read the Kushner play that has been on my bookcase for months now, or at least rent Angels in America from the video store.

So, this weekend has pretty much been a write-off. I didn't start any of the logo designs that I should have been working on, organize my finnacial documents like I had planned, hem the way-too-long pants that I wear to work everyday, or respond to the growing number of e-mails left unanswered in my inbox. And I also fell asleep too early on Saturday evening and missed Sharri's big birthday bash/no-quite-a-rave-but-almost-a-rave party. I blame it all on the weather - apparently the rainiest day in Vancouver history. *sigh*

But enough of what I didn't do. Here's what I managed to squeeze in:

• laundry...finally!
• picked up a gift for a friend's upcoming birthday. They're gorgeous. I kinda want to keep them for myself...but I won't.
• bought a few new CDs (none of which satisfy me as much as my Scissor Sisters album).
• ....as well as a pair of these babies to add to the burgeoning collection. I need to find a cheaper hobby!
• watched two movies that I've been wanting to see for some time now: Far From Heaven and The Shape of Things, neither of which disappointed. Shape was like watching a theatrical performance - probably somewhat intentional, since it was adapted from the stage - but I think that was part of the appeal.
