she's harboring Snow White, she is
Aw, Rufus is on the radio! Yay. 88.1 or something - I don't know exactly what my parents have on. They play lots of Rufus, mostly
Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk and
Hallelujah.
Across the Universe is on now. This is a happy day. The 15th will be an even happier day, though, because
I am going to see him. Rufus, that is. I saw him when he opened for Tori in October, but this time it's a real, full Rufus Wainwright concert and I'm extra excited. If he plays
Hallelujah my life will be complete, which is good, because I will also die right there on the spot from over-exposure to sublime beauty.
My dad had a flat tire this morning. Someone from AAA came to change it, because he (my dad, not the AAA guy) had a hip replacement a few years ago and the last time he tried to change a tire he threw his hip out and ended up in the hospital.
I went for a walk around the neighborhood a little while ago, because it's sort of a nice day out. Cold, but sunny. I passed the lady whose yard is full of gnomes and fake deer and pinwheels - it used to be, anyway. It's still rather gaudy and over-done, but much less than before. I think some of the gnomes moved out, and a few of the plastic swans. She got some new fake people, though, and they're set up around a table. They kind look a bit like Snow White and Prince Charming. He's the prince in that movie, right? Yeah. Prince Philip is in Sleeping Beauty. Beside her house is one that has a bright yellow oil tank. It makes me think of the Yellow Submarine every time I go by it.
After my walk I did an inordinate amount of sit-ups and other stomach-related exercises. I'm trying to be good about how I eat and about getting in some type of physical activity every day, because I'm seriously too fat, and it needs to stop. I've stuck to it so far. "So far" is two days, but hey, you have to start somewhere.
I'm going to see I Am Sam with Adam tonight, so I have to dig through the trash heap that is my room and try to find something to wear. Right now I'm in a ratty t-shirt and my lazy pants, neither of which is really suitable to wear in the company of others. Discounting my family, of course, but I really don't care what they think.
I'm in a rather good mood, but I feel annoyance coming on. Dammit. Go away, foul creature! I want to be cheery and not a complete drag to be around for once in my life. Seriously.
Edited at 5:23 p.m. A little while ago, I put on some blue eyeliner in an attempt to assuage my boredom. NEVER AGAIN. I had to take another shower because even after I washed it off I felt dirty. Death to blue eyeliner.
