No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

man, I really do not like NE. The Ravens were the only team I wanted to make it to the Superbowl this year. Not sure when the last time I cared less about a Superbowl.

I am making labels for files, and am filing the numerous piles of household papers. SO EXCITING...not.

I honestly don't care about this game either, cause I don't like either team and am bitter at both this season, sooooo, I think a movie instead.

I just found a whole batch of unsigned documents from my 2005 refinance. that saves some file space.

Oh, man, I can get sucked into research so easily. I'm such a dilettante info whore.

Or Mata Hari.

Didn't she get shot or beheaded? I don't think she was very good at spying; she liked the attention too much. She used to appear at partied in the 20's or 30's at Natalie Barney's -- Colette wrote about partying with her.

I think it was Natalie Barney - lesbian socialite in Paris, poet/novelist. (quick check). Yep; read her bio. Fascinating. Or her lover's bio. Or a novel. God, I can't remember now.

Anyway -- I would be better than poor ol' Mata Hari.

I love Natalie Barney.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Finally ate at Rock Sugar at the nearby mall yesterday. It's been catching my eye for a while, but it always looked really busy. Yesterday we were there early for proper dinner, so we got seated quickly. I really liked the pan Asian fusion they had going on.

The pork belly buns were especially intense--sweet and bacony. I pretty much liked all the dishes (it was a sharing setup) and would definitely recommend them. And their lemongrass mojitos.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Well, sure. It was the glamorous part I was thinking of.

How could I forget that Bend It Like Beckham makes me cry? It's not exactly a big surprise. I didn't even make it through the tryout scene dry-eyed. I'd forgotten pretty much everything about this movie other than Parminder and JRM.
