Wow. Sucky week. I have actually reached the point where I'm so emotionally stressed out that I'm not eating much -- which, if you know me at all, is a nearly inconceivable thought.

But as always, there are silver linings --

- tonight I get to see TPM on the big screen one more time! Our local AFI theater is showing all the Star Wars movies this weekend as part of a Lucas tribute, and I'm not passing up the chance to revisit 1999 one more time. It just isn't the same on DVD, you know? And tomorrow, ESB. Any other DC-area TPM people planning to go?

- my TiVo finally has enough space on it to record Live 8 tomorrow. And while I'm quite sure MTV and VH-1 will not show me a single hair on John Taylor's newly-blond head, given the time slot Duran is playing in Rome, I'm still looking forward to watching.

- I will soon not have to see my workplace for three whole days! What's not to love about that? And I've gotten all but one thing done on my to-do list.

- I love the 4th of July. These days the fake trappings of patriotism annoy me, but I have to admit I have a serious thing for fireworks. And while I don't get to go down to the Mall this year, I can TiVo those, too!

- I just saw watermelon in the conference room. And now I'm going to post this so I can go get some.

awwwwwww. Stupid work! I would be there in a *second*!!! See cute Obi-Wan doing those split-jumps....guh.

Lemme say that again.

GUH

As for the rest, hope your great weekend makes up for your craptastic week. And I'm still waiting to hear back from A&J re: driving school.

Oh and I love fireworks too! I might go down to my friend's apartment building on Monday to see them. I love going down to the Mall usually, but I think I must be getting old or something, because sitting on the grass for hours eating chips & sandwiches and sweating, just to see Barry Bostwick make corny jokes and hear the NSO, and then to have to get up and move to see the freaking fireworks because I *always* end up having to sit behind a tree, well, it just doesn't appeal like it used to. :/ I want a grill, some hot dogs, and friends, and maybe even lame ass county fireworks would work. ;)

I heard back. (and good grief it's weird to quote myself...)

Anyway, the school is Potomac Driving School. A&J recommend it, J went there and A's old boss's kids also all went there. I don't have a phone number or anything for them, though.

Thanks! I'm adding them to my short list of places to check out. And thank J for the rec for me, too.
