I haven't had a very exciting weekend. I'm still not feeling well. I'm trying to take it easy and load up on medicine. If you shook me, I'd rattle; I'm a human medicine cabinet right now. Hopefully something will work, though. I'm not all that stressed about it, though. If I get sick enough to have to stay home from work....great!

Yesterday my friend Jonathan came back from a week-long retreat, so it was good to see him again. He called and asked if I wanted to go out to dinner, so we went across the street to a wonderful Mexican restaurant that I'd never been to before. I ate chicken fajitas a la carte with black beans, Mexican rice, and corn tortillas. I never eat Mexican food, so it's good to have it once in a while. I really should go out to eat here more often, as the restaurants in the Bay Area are among the best in the world. As for Jonathan, that's really not going anyhwere. I like him as a friend, but I'm always conscious of the fact that he wants and hopes for more. Siiiigh. Why can't the guys I want to go somewhere with be on the same wavelength? It's all a game of hit and miss.

Last night I pretty much stayed in, nursing my cold and watching movies on TV: Like Water for Chocolate and Step Up. I loved the former, which is no surprise, seeing how the book is an all-time favorite of mine. The latter was cheesy, though. And not cheesy in a loveable sort of way; cheesy as in "why the fuck did I start watching this?" Tatum Channing is indeed hot, but he's too perfect looking. And he could never pass for a high school boy, so why are they always trying to do that? Anyway, I think I'll stick with Center Stage, which is the best cheesy dance movie ever. Siiiigh.

Today I did my laundry, then I went out for sushi. I had California rolls with brown rice, avocados, carrots, and crab meat. I hadn't had sushi in a long time, and now I remember how much I love it. Yum! Maybe I should start dating again, as for a while there I had guys taking me to interesting restaurants every night of the week. It was fun. It was a lot of work, though. I'd kind of rather just hang out with friends and go to the gym. I'm not raring for a boyfriend, but I'll definitely be ready for it to happen. I just won't settle for anyone less than ideal.

I forgot to mention that I bought tickets to a Lily Allen concert that is coming up in a couple of weeks. That makes three concerts that I'll be going to: Bloc Party, Snow Patrol, and Lily. Brit-fest, anyone? That, to me, is the idea of heaven on earth.

My sis and her boyfriend invited me to go see Babel with them this afternoon. I may go, but I also may stay home and bake. Yes, you heard me: bake. I have the ingerdiants to make a chicken and pasta casserole from scratch, so I'm excited to try it out. Maybe I do have a fever after all.

On that note....bye!
