Don't You Hate

getting pieces of mail from people who claim you owe them money, only it's Friday night and you can't call to ask what the f they're talking about until Monday?

I am going to try not to let this ruin my weekend, since I have stuff I have to accomplish. Here is the list of things I want to accomplish this weekend. We'll see if I get it all (or any of it) done. Usually, when something is hanging over my head, I shut down completely and just try to sleep for as many hours as possible.

I think this is a throwback to when I was younger, and I knew my parents would come home angry from my parent-teacher conferences, so I'd go to sleep thinking that if I was sleeping, they couldn't yell at me. It worked once or twice. But once I was in enough trouble that they woke me up. . . something about me never getting into college. But I showed them. I got into—and graduated from—one of the best fourth-tier colleges in south central Pennsylvania!

1. Clean apartment. I've been keeping it super clean lately, but right now it's a sty.
2. Get haircut. I have a curly mullet right now. I swear, I am GOING to find a place in this town that gives a good haircut without charging an arm and a leg.
   
3. Read several pages of my book. I won't set a quota, but I want to get into reading again, and I'm really enjoying the book I started today, A Primate's Memoir.
   
4. Put all the crap that's on my mind aside and go to a museum or the NY Aquarium on Sunday.
   
5. Hang out with Rachel (friend) Saturday night so that it's not Isolation City again this weekend.
6. Watch at least 1 really good movie. Nothing has totally "wowed" me in a while.
7. MAYBE, if I get everything else done, start to create links to all the movies listed here.
   

Right now, though, I'm going to watch tonight's Jeopardy! Thank goodness for DVR, is all I can say.
