you keep telling me you're smart, please prove it

Oh, let's see if I can remember. I think I made it into work at 11. A step in the right direction, to be sure, but I'm going to have to make it out there at 9:30 next week so I'd better start waking up earlier. Then I came home, and realized I had nothing to eat that wasn't leftover pizza, so groceries were in order, finally. Graham called while I was out, told me Cliff was here and said he'd feed me, so I forgot about dinner (momentarily) and left again. We watched some Simpsons and eventually settled on going to some lake they had been to earlier. It turned out to be Lake Whatcom, and a little retreat-type thing called Lakewood owned by the Western AS. It said private property but 2/3 of us were WWU students or alumni so we figured we were good. Cliff wanted to go swimming so he jumped off the docks - it wasn't really a swimming beach or anything, there were a lot of boats and no ladders.
The sun was setting.
I've been a lot of beautiful places with a lot of cool people, and sitting on that dock tonight in the sunset with my feet in the water ranks in my top 5. It was utterly beautiful and peaceful and relaxed. It is a memory I hope I keep.
The sun was coming down fast, and the little food we'd had at Graham's was long gone, so dinner was in order. After being shunned at Boss Tweed's (closed!) we went to Casa. By circumstance none of us had ever really eaten there, it's someplace you go and get food, not so much eat. To my pleasant surprise, the food actually lived up to the good reputation. I managed to down a chicken chimichanga that was 3" across and only cost like 6 bucks.
No night with Cliff is complete without a movie, so we rented The Station Agent, which I approved of heartily.
I will now approve of going the heck to bed, as I am exhausted slightly dizzy. It has been an excellent day indeed and I wouldn't want to end it badly by staying up miserably late.

Dude I OWN The Station Agent! I got it with a stack of demos a few months ago... not that you guys knew I had it or that I knew you would be renting it tonight but... dammit... I swear I had a point and/or something of importance to say. okay fine... surrendering to the popular conformist activities called "sleep"

You should watch it. It's a good movie.

Is it funny or sad that you automatically assume I haven't watched a movie that I've owned for months and are absolutely correct? ;) Glad to hear it's good though, the box doesn't say anything about the movie. With luck, I'll have time to watch it before school starts. :D

Assume nothing. If you had seen it you would've given your opinion on it, as it was you just sort of mentioned that you own it and petered out. Pretty simple deduction, really.
