new things.

So, it's one o'clock on a Thursday afternoon, and I'm still in bed, pondering the wonderfulness of summer days with nothing to do. :) I had a thoroughly enjoyable day yesterday with Stephen, wandering around at the mall and trying on weird outfits, hanging out with Justin and Britany, swing dancing at the Bop Club, and drinking milkshakes at Sonic. My car battery even died at Sonic, so that was a small adventure in itself. There was a very kind lady there who had a pair of jumper cables, though, and helped us out. I need to tell Dad about that tonight and get some cables for myself to keep in the car. It's not the first time this car has died.

Anyway, I wish that I had some extra spending money at the moment. If I did, I'm pretty sure I would have gotten one of the dresses I tried on at Dillard's. They were holding one of their after-prom clearance sales, so the dresses were actually affordable, and there were one or two that were absolutely stunning. :D Oh well, it won't be the last time I find a pretty dress. :) Stephen bought me some earrings that I can't wait to wear. The fleur de lis caught my eye. ;)

I'd been warming Stephen up to the idea of learning how to swing dance, so when Lindsey mentioned that we might go dancing next Friday night, I figured I should take him to the Bop Club at least once to give him a crash course. Last night, they were teaching the Basic II, which is close enough to the beginning to catch on. The instructors were extremely helpful and actually gave him private tutoring and practice after the lesson. I'm excited -- he caught on really quickly and wants to improve. :) In his words, I now have a dance partner that I like and who isn't a creepy old man. ;)

Oh, just finished watching the pilot episode of Mental on Hulu, and I genuinely liked it. For me, it was a perfect combination: intellectually interesting, emotionally touching, amusingly witty, and at times, laugh-out-loud funny. The cute and British Dr. Jack Gallagher factor is a plus, too. ;) Anyway, overall, it seemed real. Or maybe I just have too much interest in or experience with mental disorders. :P That aspect of the show is actually intriguing; in that sense, it reminds me a bit of Monk. At certain points, it flashes to what a particular patient in the psychiatric hospital is seeing, and it's interesting to guess what kind of disorder they have. I figured out a couple of them. Anyway, I'm looking forward to catching up on more episodes...there's only three so far. Yay - new show! :)

Well, I should probably get out of my pjs or something. :P Probably. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. lol
