went to holland v for dinner. dad tried to convince us to try lebanese cuisine, but we walked around a bit and ended up at nydc. ordered a veritable feast considered that there were only 4 of us, and none of us are bottomless pits - two baked vegetable thingies, a pizza, pasta and karma sandwich. i ultimately finished my brother's pasta for him, and some of the pizza was wasted and we doggy-bagged half the sandwich. the sandwiches are terribly large. ah well. was a good dinner. am very full.

oh another good meal - i must mention. for my brother's birthday on tuesday, my dad cooked a full italian meal. well, sort of italian. usually he cooks north indianish stuff that he just sort of invents. and they're quite amazing. this was the first time he made italian and it was really good! gnocchi, and this amazing mashed potato thing (ok that's american) with broccoli and asparagus and capsicum. the mashed potato was so gooooood! he put all sorts of stuff in it. and tiramisu for dessert (ok he didn't make that, he bought it). and he didn't make the gnocchi pieces, he also bought those from da paolo. but still everything else was homemade, especially mashed potatoes which was the best part. i think my dad should seriously open a restaurant. and my mom could have a ball decorating it. and it would be fun!

then my mum went to buy lipliner, and i followed her, leaving my dad and brother on the haagen dazs corner waiting for us. quite funny, we took quite a long time because i started looking at perfumes and my mum was looking at something else, and when we came back the two guys were still standing on the pavement looking pathetic. but my brother did call me twice to yell at me to hurry up. i have decided that i am going to buy Glamour by Ralph Lauren. beautiful. at first i was thinking i'd get Romance, but i got scent strips for both and decided that after a while Romance gets too sweet. saccharine. and sweet is quite un-me. therefore Glamour wins. my mum says Beyond Paradise by Estee Lauder is very nice. i'll go check that out sometime and then buy one of them. for a long time i've been meaning to buy Island Kiss by Escada, but today i decided that it smells quite bad. oh and i need to check out Stella McCartney's perfume, if that's as good as her clothes are then that goes down on the shopping list as well. of course, this is the Shopping List of Things That Cannot All Be Bought in One Shopping Trip. ie things i need to save up for/bug my parents for.

ok so that's my bimbo rant for the day. or ditz rant or whatever.

now i'm tired. i think i'll sleep early. somewhat long day tomorrow. ah i just figured out why i'm tired. i'm such a moron, i've been going around all day trying to figure out why i'm so sleepy. it's because i slept at about 330 last night. or this morning or whatever. and for once chit fell asleep before i did, serves her right for always mocking the way i fall asleep earliest at sleepovers. oh that reminds me of the time at my house we were all watching the exorcist except for shirin who was lying down listening to norah jones with a pillow over her eyes or something. and she wasn't asleep. but managed to stay that way throuhg the entire movie. and then she came back to the world to watch bridget jones' diary, during which i fell asleep every few minutes. which reminds me of ling needing to be woken up every five minutes during harry potter at ambleside. which i didn't watch with them, but have heard several times about. ok i'm going off on a tangent aren't i.

anyway, i'm tired which is why i've got no patience for the msn conversation the class is having. i'm periodically going in and saying something random, but anyway large group conversations confuse me/distress me because it's so hard to keep up, plus you always feel like you have to shout to be heard or you'll get lost in the backlog of messages that are all coming rapid-fire with barely time to be read.

ok i'm really going to go sleep now.

edit: something wholly disturbing. while getting ready for dinner, my mom told me that she went 'pubbing' last night after dinner with some of her friends. first i corrected her that it was 'clubbing', not 'pubbing'. then she recited a whole list of the places she went to - the only two i recognised were equinox and indochine. so a real pub-crawl, or club-crawl or whatever. but atleast she didn't go to seedy places like cheeky monkeys or something. though she did see bartop dancing and said it was quite gross. and apparently at one of the places her friend asked her "what if you bump into your daughter at one of these places?" and my mom said that that was unlikely. which is true, because i don't go clubbing. and my mother gloated for a while that she was 'cooler' than me. the whole affair is disturbing, and my mother is weird and apparently she was wearing glitter on her eyelids because one of her friends put body shop glitter on all their eyelids before they went out. i think my mother's friends are experiencing a midlife crisis, deciding to randomly start pub-crawling in their 40s. ah well, i'm all for living life so if that's what they like. but my mom said that clubbing wasn't much fun. lately people only confirm my suspicions that clubbing is wholly not a worthwhile activity. but i'll try it sometime, just to confirm for myself. or who knows, confirm that clubbing is fun. thus far i haven't seen much point in the activity, though.

ok enough of the disturbing event of the day. or yesterday. think about happy things, like michael vaughn or ralph lauren. oh i think before i sleep i'll go watch the final kiss scene in the season 3 finale. it's symbolic of that all bad things come to an end and culminate in much HOT goodness. oh and that shot from behind the kiss, hotness. vaughvaughvaughhhhnnnnnnn why aren't you mine??!!!
goodnight people.
