It's been a long weekend. My computer was in the shop and though now I can watch my brand spanking new I'm Gonna Git You Sucka and From Hell DVDs on Helga, I'm also mindful that I spent a grand total of $120 for the pleasure because I'm too dumb to not go around unplugging random things I don't know how to fix. *sigh*
I had a totally Bill moment followed by the bombshells that make those situations uniquely Candicesque. Whenever I'm all "swoon," that means that the other shoe is gonna drop any second or some time will pass before I get an outside wake up call. "Oh, Candice, not another drug addict!" "Damn, Candice, not him! He's a misogynist pig!" "Geez, Candice, not a closet Republican!" It's like a rule: If I've made up my mind to preempitively like him, he's defective...or rather, otherwise engaged. Tonight was the semi-reunion of the international strangers brought together by a city disaster that most people missed in Astoria. I walked through the door and met the older brother of one of my cabmates and I was totally "swoon!" Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Taken, taken, taken. But then again, I'm resilient and that's cool. He, the group, and I got along on a nice hanging out and chilling level. Besides, I need more guy friends that I haven't slept with and/or witnessed/heard from my stupid mouth about me in compromising positions. Totally great episode. I loved reconnecting with the kids, especially since I felt like we've been playing email tag in limbo since then. We've even made a tentative group date to see Bad Santa. Yay!
New favorite drinks: Bacardi Vanilla and Pineapple Juice and a G&T with a splash of Peach Schnapps. Like heaven, baby. The sours period is over. And I should mention for a (in the capitalist sense) loser, I'm pretty fucking cool: Jay and I are going to a Chappelle's Show taping Saturday. A night when I'll also be enjoying Man Man and Bling Kong with Jenny and perhaps checking out Hollertronix again if I'm up for it. And I so spent too much money during this big sales weekend, but on the good side, I'm set until at least birthday time. I'm still in the 4 digits regardless, so it's all good!
