I don’t think I’ve looked forward to a weekend as much as I have today. Nothing really significant happened, except the realization that there really isn’t enough time in the day to do what I want and need to do. Someone once asked me what I’d be doing right this second if I had the afternoon free, and my only response was “run errands and do laundry.” Sad, right?

But this weekend is going to be GREAT. I don’t have anything crazy planned except to sit down, go offline, watch the expected rain pour down, eat a delicious brunch, attempt to visit an old flea market, take a cooking lesson, play some games, eat a hamburger and run some errands. And do the laundry. It doesn’t sound very exciting, but the universe seems brighter for the following reason:

• The YouTube video above. (Thanks, Ernie.)
• Portal 2 officially announced.
• The vanilla chocolate cupcake I had for lunch.
• The cute Kate Spade blouse that I bought and will probably not fit in thanks to that cupcake I had for lunch.
• French Laundry in exactly one week!
• Japan in almost exactly one month!
• The massive amounts of homework I have due next week. It’s the panic that keeps me high.
