Getting a weekday off for me, has the same frequency as an eclipse. It almost never happens and when it does, you better whip your camera out (proverbially speaking, of course) and savour the moment because, it’ll be a LONG while before another one like it will come along.

LF  had the day off too and, I cajoled him into watching the first showing of the day for “He is just not that into you”. For those who are considering watching the movie after reading the book, let me help you save some money. Don’t. It is quite different from the book. For all intents and purposes, it is a feel good movie. Without giving out spoilers, half of the cast end up being the “exception” which the original book begs you not to do. You are almost NEVER the exception. Always the rule. So, why does the movie make it different? Acting wise, I could find no fault. I love Drew Berrymore who had not enough screen time, and ex-beau Justin Long did a great job of carrying the story. You can’t help a sucky script.

It was disappointing. Poor LF was giving me dagger stares for bringing him to such a poofy movie.

DE asked me out for post work drinks with less than a week to spare before he packs up and leaves for work again. His friends have been in and out the hospital so, his six week paid vacation has been filled with nothing but hospital visits. How morose.

Funny how fun always happens when you least expect it.

DE has razor sharp wit, the most goofy smile which fits him to the T, chocolate brown hair, and the patience to explain in detail what he does for a living.

One glass of vino turns into two which morphs into emptying an entire bottle.

And that’s just me drinking. Of course, Des check in on me and for the most part, I was still relatively sober.

There is so much in a kiss that tells you about the other person. Wouldn’t you agree? As I made it home, I glance at my phone and realise that I have to wake up in less than 2 hours.

I remember why I stopped drinking. I’m too much of a sadist to enjoy the perks that come with being liberated.
