my brain hurts

it's interesting.

i started to write out a fairly lengthy blog about the weekend events, but now, i don't really feel like posting it. i think in part because it's taken me longer to actually write it, and in part because i'm pretty tired right now. and frustrated.

so, in a (large) nutshell:

saturday:

• joined a gime. M&i have decided that we needed to really start taking steps to get rid of the excess us. nothing overly fancy, but should suit our needs fine.
  
• celebrated our decision to join the gime by having lunch here. it used to be a real dive, but they gutted the whole place and it's a LOT nicer now. unfortunately, they don't seem to have updated their website as that's their old logo i think. we shared a 1/2 rack of ribs which was quite tasty and an extra side of their baked beans (also quite tasty). (the inspiration was the BBQ show on phantom. they kept showing all this yummy looking BBQ meat stuff.)
  
• saw March of the Penguins. it was fun. there was a pretty good crowd, and one little girl who was mildly annoying (that sitting still thing has yet to be learned). M liked the baby penguins
  
• stopped by "The Loop" to wander around. i'm not a big fan of their coffee, but some of the other frufru drinks starbucks has, ain't bad. (M likes to kid me about how i'm so anti-starbucks, what what do i like from time to time? won't touch their coffee tho) i had the green tea & lemonade which had a minty aftertaste. i liked the frappuccino version (which when i had one sunday had a banana aftertaste, go fig) better, but it wasn't bad. M likes the strawberry lemonade, which is tasty too.
  
• saw my first Mpire figures (luke & leia) at KB Toys. i hadn't seen any since TK showed me the ones he got for a trooping gig he did, so i can confirm, they are in stores.
  
• stopped by wallymart to pick a few things up. (this is where it got long) all i can say, is that every wallymart i've been to recently is a real shithole. i started writing an open letter to the wallymart execs, but i've fizzled out on it, so long story short: the wallymart we were at = SHITHOLE.
  
• had sushi for dinner
  
• had a better shopping experience at target on the way home.
  
• as i now have a coffee table, i've decided that i'll actually have a coffee table book. the current selection is Flawed Dogs: The Year End Leftovers at the Piddleton "Last Chance" Dog Pound by Berkeley Breathed (prolly best known for Bloom County, Outland and Opus)
  

sunday:

• fairly uneventful day.
  
• ran some errands
  
• had a green tea frappuccino (where i discovered the afore mentioned banana aftertaste).
  
• did some grocery shopping.
  

that was pretty much it. a fairly quiet day

monday:

• a busy day at work, but i certainly don't feel as tho i accomplished a great deal.
  

tuesday:

• fought with a PC in stoneham. losing the battle currently, but i'm going to stop by there this afternoon on the way home to kick its sorry ass. at least i figured one thing out.
  
• currently in exile, and not overly excited by that prospect. at least i'm getting out of here in a little while. albeit it to kick that PCs sorry ass.
  

so there you go, me in a (large) nutshell. continuing to go nuts, and continuing to feel my sanity slip away. it just feels like one of those days where you feel yourself falling apart mentally. the focus is going out of focus, thinking is giving me a headache, and the less i've thought, the better my head has felt. the more i think, the more my head hurts. and as i've been thinking while i type this out, my head has this throbbing routine. currently situated in the back of my head, but i can feel my right temple start to twinge from time to time.
