Ok, that's exaggerating a bit, but today was a pretty damn good day. It's about 10:45 right now, and I'm going to start from now and work my way back to morning. Yep, I'm going to describe my entire day. That's how good it was.
As a preface, I have never seen a fight. I've heard about fights, and people getting arrested, but in my almost-21 years of life and through all the places I've been I have never personally witnessed anything remotely close to a fistfight. Consequently it has become a sort of obsession of mine to see a fight first-hand. Tonight I came close: Driving home from the movie, I saw flashing lights at the end of my street. please let it be a fight, please let it be a fight, please let it be in front of my house. I was half right. As I got closer, I counted at least four cop cars... but nothing else. They were in front of a park about a block from my house, and as I passed (windows open, driving 10 mph) I could hear a guy yelling at the two cops holding him. Yessss, witnessed my first arrest. I made it to my house and locked the door. A good ending to a good day.
I was coming home from seeing The Incredible Hulk, which came out today. I went by myself, half thinking I wouldn't make it since I didn't really know where the theatre was. But I made it, literally just in time - I found a seat as the first trailers were starting. The movie was great; I had a lot of fun, even though I was by myself. That is to say, the movie was entertaining enough that I wasn't bored enough to think about how I was watching a movie by myself.
Before I went to the movie I made myself a real dinner, chicken and pasta. I'm really proud of myself, since I don't cook very often, and most of the time if I do cook it's a Pasta Sides or Velveeta Shells. So my dinner tonight was delicious.
Work was good, too — this morning I sat in on a meeting about a graphic for an upcoming story and ended up with the "winning" idea after everyone else spent about 15 minutes discussing and then someone asked what I thought. How exciting! I really haven't done a lot of graphics (read: no graphics), so I wasn't sure how well it would turn out. I worked on it most of the day, and am still not done with it, but I'm pretty happy with it so far, people have said it's going well. I also have been working on a food page, which I may or may not put on my other blog (www.beckyrother.blogspot.com) tonight. I think I'm supposed to wait till it runs, which will be Wednesday. Anyway, my boss came up to me today and told me how much he liked where it was going. I'm realizing now how much other people's opinions mean to me...
There was also an intern welcome party sort of thing this afternoon, since the last intern just arrived. I finally met everyone. I'm the youngest intern (not a surprise, most people don't do internships till after junior year), but all the interns seem really friendly and pretty eager to do... something... we all decided we need to get together, but no plans were made. Whatever.
And I had Toaster Strudel for breakfast.
So an overall good day.
Cheers!
