Nerds Unite!

Yesterday, I had my chorus practice. During break, I talked with a girl around my age and she was saying how she loves reading, is a nerd. I said I was a nerd too. Good to know your people! It was a fun practice. I was getting into it and I know the music pretty well.

Today, it's raining like crazy! Very windy too. I'm glad though. I hope it rains a lot this Winter!

Not much happening in the news recently. Kinda slow after that crazy summer we had with all those celebrity deaths and interesting Youtube videos. I don't want anything bad to happen, I just want something interesting to read about, like in livescience or something. Maybe a big discovery like that one about early humans and why they started to walk on two legs. That blew my mind and the whole world seemed to make sense.

I've been starting to make a wish list for the holidays. I need to do this to not buy so much now...just need to wait a few months.

Apples and Crowds

This weekend was good, but I had too much of the crowds.

Friday: went to the library book sale. I was good and restrained myself. Got five or six books and Mack got two. Went to the new Davis Target! So, the layout of the store is different from Woodland and Vacaville. You enter on the right side and the clothes are the first things, but on the right. Then electronics and books. Then the grocery part. I was very excited about the low prices and pumpkin. However, I was disappointed about the fact that there was no produce. I only saw bananas. Lame! No deli either, though they do have a Pizza Hut and Star Bucks. Ate and watched tv and went to bed.

Saturday: Started the Colin Firth version of Pride and Prejudice. Very good! He has good food eyes. Went to Apple Hill. I could not believe how freakin' crowded it was! We took the shuttle and what would have been no more than a ten minute ride to the destination we wanted, was an hour long due to all traffic! It was crazy! I was super hungry when we got there, and waited about 20 min for not that great of food. Had apple beer and apple milkshake. Also waited in line for more than 30 min. for two donuts. They were good, but people were buying them by the dozen, so that is why it took so long. Bought apple butter and have yet to try that. Glad to get home, finished my Pride and Prejudice and went to bed.

Sunday: Woke up early to go to tea in Benicia for my book club. It was fun, though only four of us people the flu and cold season apparently started already. I tried Jasmine Green Tea and loved it. I was hungry still and needed real food, so went to Mickey D's to tide me over. That was funny. Had to class it up with McDonalds... Went to the Fairfield mall, got my black pants and black shirt for the concert. Got a free t-shirt at Old Navy. Went to Barnes and Noble and bought the cookie murder book and an Alfred Hitchcock book of tales of terror. So far, not very terrifying, more like suspensful and mystery like. There was another volume at the store that was the mystery one, so I might have to get that as well, since I am loving these short stories. Went to Trader Joe's and bought Irish Breakfast tea and Jasmine Green tea and sweet potato chips which I can't wait to try. Went to target for a few random things and was tired, so went home. Watched Sling Blade, love french fried pertaters!

Drank three cups of tea, and very awake, but yet somehow tired still...

Southpark Funny

This title is kinda like the website, Engrish Funny which I love.

Yesterday, I watched The Secret Life of Bees, the new Southpark episode, and Frozen River. Secret Life was really good. The Southpark episode makes fun of all the celebrity deaths over this summer. Haha, it was pretty good. Frozen River was very good and Mackenzie told me I was closing my eyes for a little bit, but I wasn't sleepy and really wanted to see what happens in the movie. I was really sore and tired and still am today.

I will be hitting up the library book sale and going to the new Target! Yay!!! It was supposed to open on the 11th, but they are open now for the last few days. Mackenzie made fun of me saying I'd be like Stan's dad in Southpark and give any excuse to go to Target, like "oh darn, we broke a glass. Guess I have to go to Target." I still love that episode. I quote it all the time.
