major backlog

I haven’t been able to have some nice down time during weekends lately, so I used this weekend to chill and get my much-needed pop culture fix: had four-hour naps; watched movies–okay, one movie that has long been in my “Downloaded Movies” folder, “Sex and the City”; finished one chapter of TC Boyle’s “Tortilla Curtain.” I’m a happy girl.

Well, almost. “Sex and the City” made me hate my life. Or more precisely, the broken down cabinet with hastily-folded clothes that I call my closet. NYMag was right: this movie will make you shed tears of fashion. Look how pretty!

One of the dresses I can never hope to own, or wear, in this lifetime.

Next weekend: I’ll watch the award-winning Irish musical “Once,” listen to the CDs a good friend gave me last month, and hopefully read more chapters of “The Tortilla Curtain” and other unfinished books that have been gathering dust in the shelf.

    napanood ko na ang sexandthecity, PERO im not into fashion kasi, hopeless romantic ako, mas natouch ako dun sa kasal nilang naudlot, pero n the end sila pa rin, dahil sa wedding jitters, sana lang wag mangyari sa akin. hehehe…

    How’s “The Tortilla Curtain”?

      Haven’t gone past two or three chapters, I think. That means I don’t like it as much as “Drop City” and “The Inner Circle.”
