Three-day weekend and not a lot of homework.
A dangerous combination. I'd like to say that I spent the weekend alone in the corner of the library reviewing estates and negligence formulas, but I didn't. I managed to get the necessary homework done, but that's it. Luckily, the rest of the week should be pretty low-key, so I think I'll be able to slip in some reviewing. For now, I'm happy to have had a relaxed weekend. I'm lazy, so the recap's going to be in list form.
- I finally found a good used book store. Housing Works Used Book Cafe in SoHo has all the essential characteristics. It's big, but not so big it's overwhelming. It's well-organized. It has a cafe. Most importantly, the fiction section had a nice variety of new books, classics, and fun books. It's also only short walk from my apartment, so I'll definitely be going back -- probably more than I should.
- I found out New Jersey's not so bad, but I think I already have a post on that.
- I had fun drinking Friday night, but I've posted on that, too.
- I've already mentioned that I saw Million Dollar Baby, but I should also admit to watching The Notebook on the NYU movie channel. I'm a little embarrassed to say that I enjoyed it. I even got a little teary-eyed at the end.
- I also rekindled a little of my West Wing love during today's marathon on Bravo.
- I ordered a bunch of food from Fresh Direct and have been cooking up a storm.
- I found out that dried vinaigrette is hard to clean up. I'm a messy cook.
- I did some serious cleaning in my apartment and am now much happier with my space (mainly because there's now more of it).
- I made a new playlist on itunes. I think my summer job offer in Austin has been on the brain because it features a lot of alt-country (or whatever the appropriate classification is). I've noticed that I'm a little obsessed with songs from Kathleen Edwards, Slaid Cleaves, Robert Earl Keen, The Be Good Tanyas and Old Crow Medicine Show.
- My brother called. It was good to hear from him; we haven't talked in a month or so. He started the conversation by inviting me over to drink cheap beer with his friends. It's too bad that he lives a time zone away. Otherwise, I totally would've gone.
