now-defunct weekend plan
My own carelessness has cost me my weekend plans. Bah. But thankfully Elaine and Holly are both very understanding... thank you girls! We'll make it up somehow.

Dinner
Last night was dinner with friends. It takes a lot of self-confidence and self-assurance to dine with that two beautiful, smart and charming women. As noted in Erin's blog, Jana was glowing. I've always thought I could never be comfortable around preggos but seeing her going through her pregnancy was absolutely amazing. That and they just bought a house and decided to stay in St. Louis for a little while longer.

The three of us talked about life, love, money, and had a great dinner as well. Here's a toast to good time, and good friends.

this is THE MATCH
Tonight, I'll be on the couch in front of my TV, eyes glued to the screen, watching the MATCH between Juventus and AC Milan battling it all out in the UEFA Champions League Final.

Many thanks to S.Boy who's nice enough to record this for me.

I've also read somewhere that Man Utd. and Juventus will be having an exhibition game at the Giants Stadium sometime late july early august? Anyone know more about that? Who's going?
McD's "cluck cluck" salad
McDonald's new salad menu is great, except that they put probably 10 spoonfuls of pepper on a grilled chicken breast. Everytime I take a bite of the meat, I can feel the heat rush to my head.

Best Of Show
Saturn/Goody Silverstein won the AdAge Best Of Show for this awesome "Sheet Metal" ad. It is a pretty well done ad, Very intruiging and yet has somewhat of a humor in it.

For more details on how this was picked, or what was involved in shooting this commercial, go here.

resolution
My new short term resolution for the month: STOP buying clothes and shoes!!! My auto insurance is up for renewal, and since I prefer to pay it in whole to get a discount, I need to start saving money. Plus, I've budgeted about $1k worth of auto parts I want to get for shadow. That, and I also need to save up for driving school, if all possible.

I did it
I just single-handedly "ruin" my own weekends for the next 6 months or so. I went out and bought Simcity 4. Installed it last night and all was ready to run. But unfortunately, while I was out running some errands this afternoon (actually, shopping at Old Navy), s.boy decided he wanted to build his city (DangTown) and he's now "semi-permanently stuck" in front of MY computer.
