The title of my blog is Finding Fulfillment, well, I may not have necessarily found fulfillment today, but in the constant effort to battle the summertime out-of-a-job nothing to do blues, I feel that today, I have reigned victorious in defeating those oh so present blues. So here's what I did today, *ahem* After sleeping in, I watched an old Humphrey Bogart movie called The Caine Mutiny, a very good movie indeed, then I did nothing, then I took a shower, then I went to the Flatiron Crossing Mall where I spent my NY and Company birthday gift card (many thanks to Bailey and Rachel) and witnessed the latest trend. If you will, direct your attention to the photo and behold "Crocs" the latest footwear fashion. These have been literally EVERYWHERE lately, and I just figured out what they're called today. I am in awe, really. Are these the new birkenstocks? Because let me tell you, I still haven't caught on with the Birkenstock trend, and now all of a sudden these so called "crocs" come on the scene? I can't keep up. I don't understand them, and I feel old and out of the loop. Someone please explain
Anyway, then I ended up at Barnes and Noble where I engaged in one of my favorite pastimes- People Watching! I've decided that if ever I am to be in a relationship, the guy is going to have to enjoy silly little things like people watching and making up stories about their lives and all those other dumb things that I take great joy in. Anyway, it was nice, I read (and bought) J.D. Salinger's "Nine Stories" It's very good, not normally what I think I'd like. Alot darker than what I normally like, but I love the way he writes. I get so engrossed in the story and I can picture it so vividly. It's simple stories about the everyday, but poignant. Definitely on Gillian's Recommended Summer Reading list. Anyway, then I headed to Wal-Mart where I got hit on by a guy selling magazines, wanting to know if I liked country music and if I drank and why I was single...blah blah blah...cheesy pick up lines...but what do you know, I got 2 years of Architectural Digest for the low low price of 20 dollars (which includes the "I want to go out with you" discount) Thank you Weird Magazine guy, and better luck next time with the whole date scene. Gross.
Well, that's been my day so far, Who knows what crazy new adventures will take place tonight as I sit here, and then maybe end up going to a coffee shop later. Oh the possibilities...
P.s. I just wanted to note that I do in fact realize that I type alot more when I actually don't have anything to say as opposed to when I do. I think it's me trying to overcompensate and add some spice to my bland life. Eh, what can you do?
