fit my weekly walk to the library while the fat snowflakes fell. i had stuff to return. stuff that i neglected...stuff i didn't even look at. got some new stuff and then headed to the gym for a short cardio workout. i'm still sore as hell and the workout and walk home seemed to help. stopped at the grocery store (and who doesn't during any sort of snowfall?) and picked up some veggies, yellow corn tortillas, newman's own salsa (which was cheaper than the freakin' mission brand!), half gallon skim milk and some soy milk. i'm going to try to wean myself off of the cow's milk. i'm cutting out eggs too.

of course, i couldn't resist getting some chocolate (Cadbury's Fruit and Nut and Mike & Ike's)...because there is no point in living if you can't eat chocolate.

The Eye of the Virgin - Frederick Ramsay (An Ike Schwartz Mystery) not really liking it but i'm almost done so i'll just finish it.

dvds:
it's foreign flick week:

I Am Love - with Tilda Swinton (loved her in Orlando!) an Italian flick
In The City - a Spanish flick
Man Push Cart - a Pakistani flick set in NYC

was looking for another English period flick but there weren't any. i can't wait for Jane Eyre and The Great Gatsby to come out! i may just see Jane Eyre on the big screen instead of waiting for it to come out on dvd. i love period pieces.

mr. tuxedocat is currently sleeping peacefully on the couch. i've got candles burning, it's surprisingly quiet for a friday night in bay ridge brooklyn. i've got a cup of hot greentea and i'm listening to Bon Iver...salve for the soul. i'm doing okay today...
