A disappointment, but a good day anyway

I got up this morning and made my coffee. I then walked outside to look at the house. It is just too purple. I frequently ride the fine line between tasteful and tacky, but I think I've just gone over the line this time.

I was just trying to motivate myself to get ready to leave for the mountains when Joe called to cancel for today. I was disappointed, but I understood. Plus, I was just feeling too lazy to do anything today anyway.

After a while, I decided to head over to the flea market, just for the heck of it. I found one piece of glass, but it was too damaged to buy. I remembered that Russ was supposed to go over there this morning, and called him, but he had slept in. He called me back though, and he and Billy came over and walked around White Horse flea market with me again. I did end up buying two little pink bowls, but I haven't been able to identify them. After that we went out for Chinese buffet, since we were all starving. We did a bit more shopping, and I went home for a nap while they went to do more work on the shop. I felt kind of bad not going to help, but I was pretty much all in. I haven't slept well since lsat Tuesday night, and I'm feeling it.

I slept for about an hour, then got up and did a few chores. I packed lunches for next week. I downloaded a bunch of old Schoolhouse Rock stuff off Acquisition and mixed a CD for Russ, since he had enjoyed the Varla Jean Merman satire of them. I had been thinking about the real versions of that stuff the other day, and thought it might be cool to hear them again. It was.

I headed back over to their place tonight, and we ate diet food and watched two more episodes of True Blood. It is a good show, but the tone, I think, is much darker than the books. Sex also takes a much larger place in the story than it does in the books. I am no prude, but the show is pretty explicit. I'm not sure how I feel about that. On the one hand it is hot. On the other hand, they ride a fine line with it distracting from the story. Then too, I have never had any patience with soft porn. If I want to watch porn, I'll watch it, and watch the real thing. Generally when I sit down to be entertained, I prefer to see more story and less sex. Geez I sound so Republican.
