greetings from rogers, AR

i'm housesitting for my parents this weekend. i decided i didn't want to subject myself to 5 hours of continual tv watching, so i opted for other alternatives to being home alone on a friday night. here's what i came up with:

1. playing my piano ridiculously hard and singing. now, keep in mind, i don't sing, so this was hilarious. also, i was playing really really loud in attempts to make the people having the party across the street yell at me for being too noisy. ha! take that!

2. watering my almost dead plant. he's got the heart of a champion.

3. watching part of mandy moore's "how to deal." okay so i lied- i did subject myself to at least an hour of tv tonight. and just as i expected, it was a complete waste.

4. downloading free songs from amazon.com like "the summer" by yo la tengo to make a new cd. yes.

5. turing up the alternative station on my digital cable really high (holy crap this station is amazing) and dancing around the house all crazy like for about 25 minutes. also sliding on my wood floors in my socks. awesome.

6. talking on the phone for an hour like i did when i was in 10th grade.

7. this.

so as you can see, there is plenty to do on a friday night by yourself. and its only a little after ten, so i have hours to party down. and tomorrow i'm eating sushi and going hiking. this is an incredible weekend.
