Every Day
should be like today. :p
Not that anything *really* special happened, but besides almost rear-ending some asshole that pulled out in front of me, it was good.
Went to Whole Foods and spent a little too much money, but I also got a lot of good stuff. This included some baklava which is THE best baklava I've had anywhere. I still have a piece left, but I don't think it's going to last too much longer, hehe.
Then I went walking in Goddard Park cuz it was a little too cool to throw shorts on and go running (and unfortunately I have no workout *pants*). That was fine. I went home, cleaned up my room cuz we had to show the house today and then read more of the biography of Roscoe Conkling I got from the library. It's so good; I love mid-19th century politics. :p
After the people left, I made dinner for my Mom and I (cuz my Dad is working nights, I guess): thin rice noodles with stir fried asparagus, spinach, green beans, tomatoes, and soyrizo with sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame seeds. It came out pretty well, though I wish I had had fresh ginger instead of powdered and I meant to add red pepper flakes but forgot.
Finally, we watched The Assassination of Richard Nixon and wow. You know I'm picky about assassin related stuff and movies in general, but I thought this was the best thing I've seen all year. Sure, they left out some stuff Byck did (like picketing as Santa Claus outside the White House) and glossed over other bits, but I thought that, as a whole, it was really effective. It was also really sad :(, either that or I just sympathize with assassins too much, heh.* So yeah, I would recommend seeing that.
And now I've just been sitting around listening to Assassins, cuz that's what I do. ^__^
*Well, that might not be entirely true. After reading Dark Horse, on Garfield's election and short term as president, I've lost some of the love for Guiteau. Sure, I still find him interesting, but I actually DON'T sympathize with him as much as I used to. Learning about what the political climate was actually like in 1880 just makes it really clear how delusional Guiteau was. I do still sympathize with Czolgosz though, and after watching the movie tonight, I think there are a lot of similarities between why Czol shot McKinley and Byck tried to take down Nixon. Fascinating.
And Czolgosz was not an anarchist. :p
