August 28, 2009 - Friday

Cloudy and muggy all day. Humid.

Today was interesting. I got up before my alarms and stayed up. I watched the news which was still mostly about Ted Kennedy, but at least today they had other news as well. After the news finished I decided to do something interesting. I went out for breakfast to McDonalds. I've been thinking about going for a while, I got some coupons, but every Friday when it's a good day to go, it has been pouring. Today, I just decided to go and if I got wet, too bad. It wasn't raining, just threatening. Breakfast was okay, not great, but that was what I expected anyway.

I came home after a quick trip to the grocery store and did all the things I didn't do before I left! I made the bed, took a shower, that kind of thing. I had a nice relaxing afternoon at home. I made up a playlist and enjoyed myself immensely singing along with Corey Hart and Gowan. Yay.

I left the apartment just after five and went to the drugstore first. I got a few things for myself and eyed a purse, but honestly I didn't get that much today. A couple of drinks, that was it.

At the school I checked my set up for today, did a few things around the school and read the newspaper. No big deal. When my student came we had a good lesson. He didn't get 100 percent on his listening test, but I think the one he made a mistake on was a bit hard. He got 7 out of 8, so certainly not a bad result.

After he left I did my paperwork-clean up bit and then sent hubby a text message. He replied a few minutes later, but hadn't really read my message. He'd gone to a political meeting. He picked me up and we went to Cocos for dinner.

Dinner was okay, but the restaurant was really noisy and busy. The waitress had to keep running back to our table with things. I felt sorry for her.

We came back home and F watched Wrestling on TV...the World Championships, so I can't grumble too much, and I listened to my playlist from earlier. I did a minor shuffle of songs and it worked really nicely. So, because I'm sure that EVERYONE wants to know what my playlist was, here it is...

Dueling Guitar ---Heitor Pereira & Doug Smith (August Rush Soundtrack)

Rotterdam (Or Anywhere) ---The Beautiful South

Never Surrender --- Corey Hart

Hold On Tight ---Electric Light Orchestra

Moonlight Desires---Gowan

St. Elmo's Fire ---John Parr

Everybody Knows ---Leonard Cohen

In The Name Of Love ---Mary Chapin Carpenter

Sakura-zakka ---Masaharu Fukuyama

Dragostea Din Tei ---O-Zone

I Won't Change You ---Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Road To Nowhere ---Talking Heads

Senza Una Donna ---Zucchero Feat. Paul Young

This Time ---Jonathan Rhys Meyers (August Rush Soundtrack)

See, pretty cool isn't it? I think it's okay. There's sort of a big mixture of types of songs and nationalities and even languages!

Well, I should be off to bed soon. Tomorrow I have an early start at work. It's a long day too. Not sure what we're going to do this weekend. I think F is going to the doctor in the morning, then I have to go to work.

Night night!
