After being so wonderfully productive yesterday...

Today has been one of those nothing days. I couldn't even get my homework done in time for my first GMAT class. No worries, it can be done after. But my mind could simply not deal with numbers today after the random big night out that Jess and I had last night.

After running around all day doing car errands (my favorite kind of errands), I decided I could use a break. It all started with happy hour at Koma Grill at a new shopping complex called the Dominion at MoPac and 183. The shopping area is trying to be Rodeo drive and it succeeds in boasting some big brand names and that type of shopper that loves to get dressed up to go out. I was a little bit shabby with my wife-beater and d-bag shorts (that plaid ones that sigma chi's are so fond of) with some dirty cross trainers. But the food was good, the margaritas were half-off, and like everywhere else in Austin, they really don't care what you're wearing. After being introduced to my first episode of Law and Order, Jess and I decided to make a night of it and we hit up downtown. I got my first comped drink at the bar I work at, which was a vodka martini that didn't bother with the vermouth. It was really good. Then we heard that our favorite singer/sogwriter coverman, the incomparable Ben Burgess was playing at the Blind Pig Pub. Good times all around.

Today I woke up at 1:40 pm. Late for even my standards. I've been slowly working at getting rid of this headache, but I think sleep will be my only medicine. Side note: I really like my GMAT teacher, and the class seems pretty cool. Now I have to put in the time to get my score up. A 630 on my diagnostic. Def needs to improve.

Midnight showing of the Simpsons movie tomorrow!
