a bit of catching up

blueberry picking was great. i must have eaten 3 or 4 cups of blueberries in a few hours. maybe more. plus i actually ate a hamburger patty, with cheese, for the 4th...first beef in months. i'm putting the guilt out of my mind- it was a rare indulgence. but not really an indulgence, since it wasn't doing my body any good, huh?
...
i slept over at melissa's. her family has always been welcoming to me. i brought them a cup of our blueberries. we walked through downtown leesburg...not many places were open, because of the holiday, plus the weather was not ideal, but we walked in the rain, and it was nice. exceptionally wonderful: my iced americano with sugarfree chocolate syrup and real whipped cream. perfection, and not from starbucks!. i purchased a few cute books from a little thrift store, and two vintage photos, a vintage postcard (postmarked 1940, and it was from india!), and vintage mismatched cutlery from one of the antique emporiums. pictures on their way.
...
i watched reservation road. definitely a downer, but great performances. i love joaquin phoenix in any and every way. i'm usually attracted to gritty somber movies anyways.
we watched the diving bell and the butterfly. inspiring and tasteful, yes. slow to pick up, but worth it, i think. thoughts: i'd love to learn french. and age gracefully. in that order. yes.
...
tough to admit, but...ok, well to start, i loved the movie friday night lights. and i'm not the sappy high-school-sports-drama type. but i loved the movie. and i happened upon an episode of the tv show the other day. and the full episodes are available on the nbc web site. sooooo...you can guess what i spent the last 3 hours on. yep. during school- nope. i never even had time to check my favorite blogs. but here in the luxurious stretch of summer i can afford to have my own marathon of tv-by-way-of-internet goodness. and you know, it's not that bad. no, really. it's not gossip girls or one tree hill. it has more substance than that. ok, i'll stop trying to defend myself. it is what it is.

apologies again for the dreadfully uninspiring lack of photos. newly discovered: 3191 photoblog. check it out. now.
