The Oregon Trail: Part Two
The saga continues.... Saturday, 11:36 a.m.: Awake quite slowly to no sounds of rain on the rooftop. Note that this is a welcome surprise to normal Oregon weather. High Noon: Eat brunch with Annelise at cute coffee shop. Introduce her to David Gray. Have pretty yummy Omelette. Feel satisfied. 1 p.m.: Head over to K-Mart to see if Martha can help us with some window treatments. She comes through quite well. We decide on baby blue swag for bedroom and cream swag for living room. Decide against phallic penis-like curtain rods. Am positive is the correct decision. 2 p.m.: Go back to Annie's apartment and successfully put up rod and swag (still connotatively sexual...even after nixing penis adornments in store. Hmm. Will have to work on getting mind out of the gutter) and make living room quite lovely. Consider starting career in interior design. Decide unemployment is more fun. 3:00 p.m.: Go to pick up Annie's boyfriend Sean for his guitar lesson. Inform him that he in fact, is driving us to the movies and will pick us up later. 4:00 p.m.: Get to "A Beautiful Mind" 20 minutes late. Catch on quickly. 6:00 p.m.: Leave theater in tears because movie is so touching. Annie sobs silently to herself. Hopeful she will recover. 7:00 p.m.: Make dinner while Annie has mini-drama with Sean. 8:00 p.m.: Sean leaves, drama continues. 10 p.m.: Annie's friend Liz arrives to co-conspire about Sean and Valentine's Day gift drama. Sunday morning, 6 a.m.: Have eaten portions of 4 types of ice cream, drank small amount of Jagermeister and RedBull, have discussed Liz's sex life, Lauren's sex life, Annie's sex life, Valentine's Day drama with Sean, psychoanalyzed Sean until he is a mere speck of confused and anxiety-ridden geological dust. 6:15 a.m.: Liz departs. 6:30 a.m.: Turn in. High Noon: Wake up, silently cursing overly nervous parents for calling cell phone at 8:30 a.m. "just in case" I need them. 1 p.m.: Grab sandwich for lunch. See tall man who has not seen inside of shower (or so my nose tells me) in several days and who seems to have been the bearer of a Mullet approximately 10 years ago but now just has long-ass (all the way TO his ass, in fact) hair that is desperately in need of chopping and two Granola lesbians with bolts in their ears. 2:30 p.m.: Are the subjects of neurological experiment at University of Oregon. Almost go blind, but make $10. Successful loss of vision, all things considered. 4:30 p.m.: Head to Bed Bath and Beyond to spend more of Annie's money on home improvement. Successful venture. 6:30 p.m.: Continue with rod and swagging. Fun times. 8:00 p.m.: Marvel at wonders of Martha Stewart Living swags. Fall in love with new 250 thread count sheets on Annie's bed. Briefly consider overhaul of own bedroom but realize have no money to do so. 10:30 p.m.: All is well. Set to watch "Bridget Jones's Diary" with Starbucks ice cream. Bridget Jones is my hero.
