This Weekend

I've been sick since Thursday. I'm all dizzy and dazed and phlegmy. Used tissues have taken over my bedroom and the living room. I will make it to most of my classes tomorrow, though Japanese is debatable. I need to talk to sensei about class. Good thing I'm auditing.

I totally bought a book today I couldn't really afford, but I've never apologized for buying a book, I come from a family of bibliophiles. It is The Painted Veil, by William Somerset Maugham, a personal favorite of mine. So far it is good, well-versed in his beautiful subtlety that he is famous for. My dad got me started on Somerset Maugham years ago when I was a high school junior, and he's been one of my favorite authors since. The Razor's Edge was one of the most elegant pieces of literature I've ever experienced. I've been too sick to really focus on my math (I tried, and failed), so I decided to spend my time at least reading instead of wasting it on TV or more sleep or endless mindless hours on the Internet.

I am an usher for my friend's wedding, and since I have nothing nice or "usherish" to wear, she took me to a bridal shot to find a cheap nice dress. It was rather hard, my breasts don't like to fit, and when they do, the dress is too big in the waist and the straps are too loose. We finally did find a nice little black number, and a few alterations in the straps and hem will make it fit better. It is all black, and since the ushers (me and her son), as well as the bridesmaids and groomsmen are all wearing black and navy, she told me I could dye my hair blue to match ^_^
Yes, Darlene is awesome like that.

Spending two hours in a bridal shop has cemented my conviction that should I ever stoop into insanity and embark on the journey of matrimony, I shall do so with the time-honored tradition of eloping.

I hung out with Jason tonight. It was a little less awkward this time, which was nice. Maybe next time I'll stay over. He is a great person to cuddle with.
