Going to Queens, possibly
I'm meeting Elena after work and we're heading to Queens for a friend of her's birthday party. Should be fun, I guess. I really don't care, I just want to spend the time with Elena. And, if when she gets off work and she's too tired to go we'll just go to her house and hang out for awhile. Doesn't matter to me, just want to spend as much time with my girlfriend before she goes to live on the other side of the ocean.
I've definitely felt much better and felt less weird around her since we had our talk. I really think it was good for us to get it out there and into the open how we felt. You can't let stuff like that stew because it just gets worse. I'm doing my best to make sure that we keep in touch once she's over there. I'm giving her a decent computer, capable of probably so much more than the piece of crap she had from when she went to NYU. I helped her order a pretty nice digital camera so she can take pic, throw them on the laptop and send them to me. So, I'm doing my best is what it boils down to.
Although she did say the other night that if I learn how to cook by the time she comes back we'll stay together. I know she was joking, but I should seriously do something like that. I need to stay busy while she's over there, so I don't go nuts, and what better way then to pick up a new hobby or something. And, my mom is an awesome cook, so I can't ask for a better teacher. We'll see.
Anyway, didn't do too much today, just kind of loafed around. Took a few naps. Watched The Recruit, which was OK. It started out strong, but just ended all stupid. It was entertaining though. We watched A Guy Thing last night, and that was kind of dumb, except for a few funny moments, it was crap. Beats what we started to watch, which were Eric Rohmer's Moral Tales. Elena got that recommended to her through Netflix and she thought they looked like little vignettes of erotica. Hell NO. She rented Breathless for me a few months back by Jean-Luc Goddard, a prominent member of the French New Wave of cinema in the late 50's early 60's. So Rohmer was a French New Wave guy too, and we watched one tale of morality and said no thanks the the other. Funny stuff.
Alright, so I have like three hours to kill before I go to get Elena at work. I think I'll exercise off all the shit I ate today because I cheated on my diet big time, but its the weekend, its bound to happen. As long as I get back on the program and hit it hard on Monday, I'll be good. Only need to lose 2 more pounds for that big 50 pound loss. Peace.
