"Women are a very recent invention."

Not sure I have much to say tonight. It’s been a long-ish day. Went to work, really briefly this morning, but finished quickly so ran home for lunch. Tried to find someone to have lunch w/ me, but no luck… which is okay because I ran to Borders and bought 2 new books. I’m a total bibliophile. I can’t help myself. I should get into some group or something! I got 20% the books: Harry Potter and Philosophy and The Wave in the Wind by Ursula K Le Guin. They turned around and gave me 2 more discounts for next wk, these were for 25% off. I don’t need this temptation! I could have gotten a discount for Kohl’s this wknd, but decided to save my money for the laptop!

Work was work. I hurried home to pickup some dinner – chili – and ran back to the office. I was working late and needed something to eat before I went to the Creighton soccer game w/ Brian and Molly. They ended up being late, but it was okay. We arrived just in time for the game. Creighton beat Evansville 3-1 in a rather intense, physical game. I wish we had had instant replay for some calls. Or at least a commentator of some sorts. Molly and I had a nice chat about things when Brian ran off to the get something. But she was cold the whole night. We went to a microbrew afterwards. Had a really nice beer and got my ass kicked in darts. I hadn’t played darts since Jan 31, 2003. Don’t ask me why I know that. All I can say: freakish memory. And of course, it involves a girl. Women! I need to get me one of those. We talked about going to see The Incredibles tomorrow. Being a third wheel is better than being alone. Although I find myself excellent company.

I admit, I’m a nerd. Is there a mtg for that? I was talking to Molly about Gilmore Girls while Brian was secretly cursing me under his breath. And then I was recounting an episode of Mad About You! Now, if they only knew how nerdish I was in other areas. I bought the new Astonishing X-Men comic and it ended like a Joss Whedon TV show. I felt like I was watching Buffy all over again. And it’s driving me nuts I have to wait another month! There is something about Kitty Pryde... (who, by the way, was the basis for Whedon’s Buffy).

Politics are starting to seep into the background again. I'm still annoyed by things, but there is nothing I can do about it right now. Of course, that leaves a rather unfortunately large hole in my “what to rant about now” area (Sorry, I can’t seem to come up w/ any great sounding vocabulary words right now). Let’s just hope it’s not replaced with that common but scary theme of relationship angst. The above quote is from that book by Le Guin. She was making a point about women in the 20th century. I just thought it sounded interesting! J For now… thank God for women. And God, send me one soon!
