errands and signs

and another weekend ends too soon.

this afternoon i ventured out into the traffic of tax-free weekend, but not to buy anything tax-free. ah well. i didn't need any new clothes or shoes. instead, i needed things like picture frames, a spatula, and index/recipe cards. i guess i should get used to shopping trips that wind up with me buying a completely random set of products, because every day, i think of some new little thing that i need for my apartment or most likely, my kitchen. i wonder how long it will be before i have "everything" that i need? that's a subjective term, of course, "everything."

i found the pictures that steve took when we went surfing back in april. ah, california.

i met up with jason this afternoon for a matinee showing of signs. it was ok. i'm not a fan of scary/suspenseful movies, so i didn't really like the whole aliens-overrunning-the-house segment. but the moral of the movie is a good one. the best summation of the film is pretty much what ron told me before i saw it--it's less of a movie about aliens, and more of a movie about faith.

back to work tomorrow already, and i've made hardly any progress on cleaning the mess that masquerades as my study. {sigh} my goal is to have it done by the time christina comes to visit. that gives me three weeks.
