So far today:

* Had coffee and a scone at 61c Cafe. Mm, yummy cinnamon scone.

* Got my hair trimmed. I decided at the last minute not to redo the color though. It hasn't faded out all the way yet, there are no roots showing, and I'd rather spend the money on other things.

* Made an appointment for next time - July 4th. I'm on a holiday roll here. Got my hair colored Easter weekend, had my six week trim today, Memorial Day weekend, and now the next six week trim will fall on Independence Day.

* Went to a second viewing of Star Trek. Either my ears were clearer or the sound was better today because I was actually able to understand nearly all the dialog. This helped the movie make a little more sense, not to mention getting more of the self-referencial in-jokes. some spoilers )

* Browsed through Barnes & Noble in the hope of seeing some good titles for Book Club. Alas, no such luck. Still, I picked up a book by Jack McDevitt, called Deepsix. I've never heard of this guy before, but the first few pages seem to get off to a decent start, so I'll see where it goes.

* Had lunch at Panera (if a meal eaten at three in the afternoon can technically be called lunch).

* Totally bailed on the grocery store but I did stop at Rite Aid for bread, milk, Quaker Oats and catfood.

Tonight is game three of the Pens-Hurricanes series. I'm attempting to be emotionally prepared for the possibility of a 'Canes win, since it's their first home game of the series, they're down by two and they're going to be desperate for the win. But I'll still be disappointed and pissed if the Pens lose. That's just the way it is.

In the meantime, I think I'll watch a few more of the old Star Trek eps on hulu.

Edited due to an inability to keep two thoughts in line for more than thirty seconds at a time.

I took my camera with me yesterday when I went to the grocery store, and took lots of spring pics. So, time for a little Spring Picspam.

In other news, a few friends and I started up a science fiction book club a few weeks ago and today we had our first book discussion. I volunteered to host this first meeting, thus the grocery shopping yesterday. I never quite got around to cleaning however, so I had to get up early and do that this morning, along with preparing some food for our lunchtime meeting.

I had way too much food, but the good thing is, I'll have lots of leftovers for the week ahead. I made a simple pasta salad with angel hair pasta, red and orange peppers, grape tomatoes and light italian dressing. I also bought some sourdough bread to go with it, but somehow we never opened it, so I'll have a whole loaf to eat this week. Nom, nom, nom. I also got some pepperjack cheese, wheat crackers, apples, and mixed nuts as snacky things. Yay for yummy foods.

We started off with Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley. It was an easy read, and led to all sorts of interesting discussion which ranged from social control, to politics, to religion, to who knows what else as we wandered around in our thoughts. I've never actually participated in a bookclub before so I have nothing to compare it to, but I think it went well. Next up, we're reading To Say Nothing of the Dog, by Connie Willis. Plus, I now have a list of other books to put on my 'must read soon' list, that came up in conversation during the discussion. This is very good.
