if you don't read Harry Potter, this won't be funny.

i saw this on myspace. myspace is really annoying, yet i am on it, and i get messages moderately frequently. oh well. it's a way to say hi to people i haven't seen in years. so anyway, some of these are pretty funny:

so yeah. i'm at work. it's friday. one of my co-workers is out today, so i'll try to do some of her filing and try to catch up on a project i'm behind on. (i'm still doing reports from September, yes i am, i am THAT good.) work is FUN, F-U-N, fun. ahem.

last night i watched figure skating and part of the mavericks game. my boyfriend doesn't care for figure skating, really. i actually am starting to like watching basketball and actually got a little into last night's game because it was close. WEIRD.

i'm thinking of taking tennis lessons. or golf. really i just want to hit golf balls. driving range. i think that would be fun (if i could actually hit the ball, hard to say). reminds me of happy gilmore. heh. great movie.

my sister turned 35 on wednesday, and i will turn 25 in a few weeks. whoo!

i'm about to eat some goldfish COLORS. the colored ones are kind of freaky.

i need to call the optician guy to see when i can pick up my glasses. i've known the guy forever. his name is martin. his last name is thomas, and it is confusing to have 2 first names for your name. did that make sense? so that sometimes i can't remember which is his first name and which is his last.

it's not as yucky outside today. maybe this weekend will be nice? we're going to a concert tomorrow night, should be cool.

yesterday i mailed a package to mexico. it was fun. not really. customs is not fun. neither is the post office.

i keep thinking about really wanting to take a 4 day weekend and go to a beach somewhere, but i don't know that i can afford it. damn. where could i go?

question: if you could go anywhere for a 4-day weekend in june, where would you go?

next question: if you could go somewhere for a 4-day weekend on a budget, where would you go?

last question: who's your daddy?

have a maaaaahvelous friday.
