why does it have to be 100 degrees on my birthday? i'm not sure if it's hit that mark but it's pretty darn close. exhibit A - me in birthday suit. seriously i can't wear clothes in this weather! it's 11 at night and i am sweating. i didn't do much today, it was nice to not work and just relax. my uncle took me out for breakfast then he had to catch a flight back to san diego. when i got home i took a nap and didn't wake up till it was time to hang out with my friend from work. we sat at a french cafe and had coffee and sweets. that's about it. oh and i got my hair cut, it's about time cause it was getting pretty shaggy. i didn't really feel like doing much for my birthday this year. i wasn't feeling it, maybe it's some kind of birthday blues. after all, it's not really special and just another day. another day to look back and realize how much you have or haven't changed in a year.
i can't even think in this heat. tomorrow i work the night shift, 11pm to 7am. it's my first time and i'm not sure i'll be able to handle it. my plan is to stay up late tonight and sleep as long as i can tomorrow. with the heat i am not sure i will be able to sleep very long. i'm actually thinking of going down to the basement to snooze. basements are dark and cool, perfect for sleeping.
i've been watching a lot of tv online. it started when i was introduced to "firefly", a scifi western. it was pretty good but only survived one season so i was kind of left hanging, i don't like that. so i've been trying to find some good shows. "dexter" was recommended by this guy i know. it's a very dark show. it's basically about this guy dexter who is a forensics expert by day and serial killer by night. he only kills people who "deserve it" and it's pretty interesting.
i was halfway through the second season of "the l word" when the site i was using kind of stopped working. so again, i am left hanging. the last season (six) is gonna start in january and i think people are pretty excited. i just heard of it recently but it's pretty interesting. i still have a lot more to watch so i hope the website comes back.
i finished the "grey's anatomy" series through the fourth season, patiently awaiting the fifth in september. i had watched the first 3 but somehow stopped watching the latest one, probably because of school.
one of my favorites is "bones" and season four should be starting this fall as well. i don't have a tv so i rely on the internet for tv watching. once school starts though i will probably have a hard time keeping up. also i like to watch them with limited commercials or none at all. internets are good for this. also "house" is one of my favorites so i'm looking forward to season five of that. there is just so much to watch, so little time.
i used to watch "desperate housewives" but missed the last couple seasons. it kept getting weirder and i'm not sure if i want to revisit it quite yet.
i am thinking the next series i start might be CSI or the sopranos. i haven't seen either and heard good things about both. maybe monk or the office too. well i guess football season will be starting soon also. it's gonna be a busy fall!
okay technically it's not my birthday anymore so i better stop blogging about it. it's OLD news, just like moi! tomorrow is just another day.

#121 - stranger than life
i don't even know what that title is about. i think everyone gets a little weird around their birthday. some are scared of getting older but mostly i think we like to re-evaluate ourselves and our accomplishments. a year has passed and so we think about it. i do this at new years also. once i reached my 20s, life started getting better every year. if you ask my favorite age, i'll say it's right now. i'm figuring stuff out every day.
my bday is less than two weeks away and i've come to several conclusions. waking up at 4am on the side of the road kind of does that to you, details are unimportant but let's just say it involved drinking and i really woke up. i love to have fun but usually that means going out with a bunch of people to the bar. it's how i spend a lot of evenings and i enjoy it, it's what people do right? so now in order to avoid doing that i need to think of new things.
the thing is i really enjoy beer, especially the microbrews of oregon and the northwest especially. i like going to beer fests and what not. it was one of my hobbies, okay maybe my only hobby besides pseudo sports (in which you get free beer for losing). i will probably watch more movies and i want to read more. i will probably end up being a hermit because most of my friends like to drink, a lot. i don't want to put myself into positions where it is hard to keep promises to myself. it's just easier to stay home than go to a bar with friends and not drink.
so back to my birthday. i've never had anxiety about growing older, probably because i'm still in my 20s. almost to my late 20s but still young. whenever i tell someone they say "oh you're a baby!" and really it's true. so much has changed since my last birthday, i started playing dodgeball for one. also, i have many new and exciting friends. went on an awesome trip and had a few new hairstyles... but many things are the same. i live in the same room in the same house. i work at the same job. i have a lot of same, great friends. but i am barely farther than i was in school last birthday. some would say being in the same house and same job are good things but it makes me antsy. not many understand that antsy feeling; i like change i guess. last year for the "special day" i went to the coast, hung out with family/friends, ate moroccan salsa and greek pasta salad all day, went to the river to swim and drink beers, and had a great day. it was just the sort of birthday i like, no expectations, just hanging out and having a good time.
this year my uncle (also a leo) is coming to town from san diego so we will be having a birthday dinner and hang out. i'm not really sure what i want to do to celebrate with my friends though. in all reality it is just another day and nothing special in the big scheme of things but i am a year older and it was a better year than the last. you can't go wrong with the making and eating of good food with good friends though, i'm thinking maybe mexican.
