All in all, had a nice weekend. Not too much activity and not too much down time. Yesterday, I did 5 loads of laundry, hung out at home, and went to Los Feliz to spend some time with Rob. We had dinner together, then one drink at the rather disappointing Tangier (trendy bar/club that had been way too talked up, IMHO). We got bored really quickly, went home, and woke this morning to share breakfast and a TiVoed episode of the McLaughlin Group. Left Rob's and did some grocery shopping and had lunch by myself. Went to the gym this evening, then got a little excited and bought some music on i-Tunes \[Muse- Absolution, Mark Lanegan- Whiskey for the Holy Ghost, and 3 Morrissey songs ("Boxers, "Moon River", and "My Love Life")]. Is there anything so haunting as Morrissey covering Moon River? I don't think so. Gives me chills.

Peace out, folks. Time to wind down for the work week!
