jianantonicNote to self: add grocery store to the to-do list for today. I'm down to about half a meal's worth of food in my fridge, and I'm not particularly excited about what's there. I just got back from the gym and I'm starting to feel a lot like I did yesterday: bored and lazy. But I've showered and dressed myself in matching clothes and I have a mission for the day. Must buy new pants. But that requires standing up and walking and using energy and I really don't have any of that left right now...
I finished my gym book yesterday, The Nanny Diaries by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus. The book is older than The Devil Wears Prada, so I can't call it a piggyback of that book, but it is very similar. I enjoyed it very much, though. Apparently there's going to be a movie of it this year, which I will have to see and which I will probably hate because it probably will be just another film bastardization of good literature. Hmm, looking at IMDB, it seems that Scarlet Johansson is the star, and they've changed the first name of the lead character, which is annoying. (In the book, the lead character is Nan, which becomes Nanny, just like my mom, and which is of course very appropriate for a book about a nanny...but the film protagonist is Annie. Lame.) Stupid Hollywood. But yes, I will see the movie...I know, if I'm going to be a bitch about it I just shouldn't see it...but it's a good story. I have a thin hope that maybe they'll get it right.
Okay, I've sat around long enough to muster enough energy to get out of here and on with my day. Mall, grocery store, etc. Probably no baseball. Just too tired to sit outside in the cold for three hours...
Peace.
