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.

I can’t stop a lot of things, like eating cookies or picking my nose, but I especially can’t stop listening to Nighttiming, which is Coconut Records’ (aka Jason Schwartzman aka former drummer from Phantom Planet aka Max Fischer from Rushmore aka Sophia Coppola’s cousin) first ever record.

I’m really addicted. I haven’t been this way since Offspring’s last album came out. NOT. But seriously, folks. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but listening to this CD makes me feel very relaxed and happy. I’ve even resorted to playing it on my computer while my boss yells at me from her office, asking me where I put her script that she had on Friday, despite my claims that I wasn’t in on Friday and haven’t touched a thing on her desk since I walked in this morning. Relax and stay calm, Moye. Breathe in, out and relaaaaxx.

I hope everyone had as nice of a weekend as I did.

I’m not a very good jumper, as you can see, so no photos of me.

Plus, what’s up with the emo biker in the background? She was sitting curled up like that the entire time.

Um…I baked bread. Also knishes, but since I am only half-Jewish (through my new brother-in-law), they only came out half yummy. My life is so exciting.
