Today is very humid. All day I've felt like I'm melting, but the temperature isn't even that high. I did a lot of running around; I went to the mall, looked at swimsuits at Macy's (since I lost mine in Sorrento, Italy), got a toffee-nut latte at Starbucks, went to Barnes and Noble, returned a movie at Blockbuster, and went to Best Buy. A few of those things are commentworthy...

The movie I returned at Blockbuster was Lions for Lambs. To be perfectly honest, I didn't like it. It wasn't that I was bored (my mom was), but it just didn't have enough happening. It switched back and forth between different conversations throughout most of it, and it became obvious after about ten minutes that it was a social and political commentary on the United States and its government. I hate the subject of politics to begin with, so this was a bit of a disappointment. On a positive note, the conversations were interesting (if not gripping), and the acting was quite good, especially that of Meryl Streep.

At Best Buy, I spoke with a guy who made my heart skip a beat, or two. Tall, athletic, with beautiful smiling eyes. Our short conversation about computer keyboards felt like flirting to me, which is a serious sign of a lack of a love life, but nonetheless made me smile for the next hour at least. I couldn't help watching him over the top of the video game shelves a few aisles over. And he was NOT wearing a wedding ring.

Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with my evening. Watch another movie, finish Life of Pi, or see if I can meet a friend out for a drink or two...?

Ah, I miss flirting. No wait--I still do it!
