let's see... what did i do today...
i woke up... rushed around to make the house, especially my room, look presentable. then i got myself settled down on the sofa, newspaper before me, and started reading as i waited for the already-late girls to arrive.
we played around with my dogs for a little while... lol, it was hilarious the way V kept talking and pleading with them not to lick her. when we finally got our lazy butts off the floor, we started to make our way down to parkway. E had this great idea to drive down (imagine walking/taking bus in the heat), and so we did just that. E has driven me a number of times before, so i felt i could trust her with the parents' car.
lunch, and a stroll through the supermarkets later, we collected our ice-cream. yum yum!
then we headed back home, where V stayed in the shady part of the pool while E and i paid homege to the sun god. man the sun felt so good... i read all those articles about how when you feel your skin burning, that means the sun's cooking your skin cells, the cells will die, and you'll get black (coz that's what burnt things look like), and how it's all just so utterly terrible terrible terrible and every decent girl would know better than to do that to herself and her beauty.
i didn't fucking care. i loved the way the sun rays attacked my skin.... you actually do feel like you're cooking under the sun... and it's a most marvellous feeling...
dun worry... the sun didn't burn away my brain cells too.
i just like being dark-skinned.
and yes... there is a certain nice snobbish element to it... it feels to say things like, "I'm going for a tan", with a toss of the head.
lol.
when we finally went back upstairs, it was off to the showers and then cooking time. when we sat down to dinner, we had roasted chicken swimming in a sauce full of mushrooms, tangy orange grilled salmon, aglio olio, and boiled veggies. it wasn't my best cook session, but i was pretty pleased - the girls didn't end up spending the night making trips to the toilet.
we didn't drink much that night.. probably coz we were tired. together with gin and tequila, we also had our ice-cream, and chips with this lovely dip recommended by E. it feels good to just sit around, watching trashy vcds and eating and drinking and talking.
a good day...
