tonight my apartment will be hosting people for dinner for the first time. nick is making lebanese food. hooray! this means i have to get home from work quickly though, because even the living room is pretty much impassable at the moment.
last night i laid out a bunch of posters along with the frames i bought yesterday, but haven’t finished the project. one of the posters is just a hair too big for the frame, and i haven’t figured out the best way to shave just a little bit off the side to make it fit. i’m thinking an exacto knife and a yardstick (or other long straight edge) will do the trick, but i have neither of these things. what would be ideal is a bigger version of the photograph cutter that i have that’s like a paper cutter with a razorblade on a track. but i don’t know if they make something like that. perhaps i could just take it back to the frame shop and have them do it. i don’t want to mess up the poster. it’s this really cool picture of the big sur coastline.
someone in my building turned 40 today, and there are signs posted everywhere to embarass her. when i turn 40, i’m going to try to keep it a secret. i don’t want to be embarassed by my coworkers. becca promised to tell everyone anyway, but then we realized that neither of us will likely be working here anymore when we turn 40. in fact, becca plans to be living in australia enjoying her retirement. retirement. at 40 years old. yes, she can dream.
in other news, i am a big wuss. i just can’t deal with even remotely scary movies. last night after i turned out my light and was lying in bed all alone in my dark apartment, i got scared that aliens were going to sneak up and get me. all because of mel gibson and his silly signs movie! argh.
i forgot to mention that i did end up getting to see james and chrissy this past weekend–we had dinner at mamacita’s last night. it was fun, even though chrissy is still not feeling too hot. she has some sort of upper respitory infection and had a horrible coughing attack. i hope she feels better soon. as we left the restaurant, we worked out plans to go see the braves play the astros on friday along with liz and some of my friends, so it’s official–i’m going to all three games of the series! woohoo! friday with james, chrissy, liz, etc. saturday with leila, brian, etc. sunday with work people (it’s nasa day at the ballpark). i’ve been telling people i’m going to see the braves, and they always correct me and say “don’t you mean you’re going to see the astros?” i guess it is houston and all…but the important thing to me is that i get to see the braves. 🙂
