Slumday

This interwebs connectivity issue is REALLY bugging me. It's not as bad as yesterday but I still have to load just about everything twice. Annoying.

So... you probably saw that I went to the Aquarium of the Pacific last night. It was less crowded than a usual day (with 12billion school kids) but still more people than I expected. Even with repeat visits of the otters (which are now HUGE) and sea jellies, I was only there for 2 hrs. There are a couple outdoor exhibits that I can see stretching a visit to 3 hrs - but not more. $10 was a reasonable admission. I wouldn't pay the regular $25 price... not for that aquarium.

In the gift shop, I bought a couple small sets of gel window clings for my cube. My boss had fun playing with the ones I had a Halloween, and it's baren without holiday decorations, so I got a yellow puffer fish & blue sea horse, both with  bubbles and/or sea weed accessories, to add a little color. Cube farms are so sad.

Since parking was prepaid ($7), I took myself to dinner at Chili's. I had a nice steak (which I've been craving for weeks), mashed potatoes, broccoli, and 2 beers. I was annoyed that the bartender (I was eating at the bar) didn't ask me about dessert - but then she didn't charge me for the 2nd beer, so I was okay again. I didn't need that molten chocolate chip cake anyway!

I came home and let Moshi in then spent some time debating about going out. I headed to Puka Bar around 11p. I got the very last last shot of Espresso Vodka. I hope they order more! I tried the acai+blueberry vodka but that was too shockingly sweet after espresso. Then I had a White Russian. The 2nd room wasn't open so it was crowded. I spent most of my time at a little table in the corner, by myself. Shortly after I moved up to the bar, some insanely drunk Brit started alternately hitting on me and insulting me - so it was time to go. The bootleg movie guy didn't come in but I found out that a gas station across the street sells bootlegs too. I thought about checking it out - but I'm too much of a goodie-good. I might seize an opp to be bad when it's brought to me, but I'll rarely go looking for it.

So.. in bed around 2. Boo woke me up at 11 (as I had asked her; I was impressed that she did it!) but I opted to go back to sleep. It was 1 or 1:30 when I finally got up... and even that was largely against my will. I considered blowing off my workout and just staying in bed all day (it was comfy and warm and I felt good there - unlike the harsh, cold, reality outside my blankies). But I'm up. And now I'm gonna shower and dress for the gym and resent every single moment of working out. Then I'll come home and crawl back under the blankies. Getting up for work tomorrow (and the whole rest of the week) is gonna be a bitch!
