a day of randomness

status check - present
background ambiance - mraz, "galaxy"

i've been searching for an envelope that holds my new checking card so i can stake my claim for .pete. items. i have been able to find everything else i possibly own/possess, but cannot find said envelope. i realize now, however, that i must abandon my search to prepare for my day, which includes purchasing something remotely summer dressy, as i am attending a wedding this evening. a wedding between two people i've never met, being held at a cinema. and i feel a need to dress at least passingly appropriate for the occasion.

meanwhile, i'm periodically casting glances at my cell phone to confirm that it still hasn't rung and continuing to play research girl so i can learn everything i never thought i'd need to know - until i realized i needed to. the apartment walls are bare and blank, which always throws me for a loop. and i'm listening to jason mraz, although the realization hasn't sunk in yet that a week from this moment, i'll be on the new hampshire highways, returning from a whirlwind trip that included witnessing a solo mraz performance within the limits of my favorite city.

the surreal nature of the day does not escape me. yet it's so random that i can't help but smile.

if there's one thing i can say about this past week, it's that it has been filled with the unexpected.

Hope you dont hate it when a stranger stumbles into your space in cyberland. Just wondering how was the theater wedding? My co-workers and myself happened to see your story and had a few laughs about what would happen if the honeymoon took place in the theater. What would it be rated? I know we're a group with high moral values. :) Probably the first wedding you have been to where you could enjoy popcorn and pepsi along with it. Enjoy your Mraz concert!

hello! in fact, i enjoy it when strangers come across this - fresh voices are always a bonus! so welcome!

the wedding was short. but very neat in its uniqueness. beyond the interesting aspect of attending a wedding in which you know absolutely no one (i felt like a date of the second cousin twice removed in that regard), being there for something fun like that was very cool. perk to the job, absolutely. and hey - got to catch an extended trailer for spidey 2 - how can a gal complain?

i understand the laughter - i had fun sharing it with people. "what did i do today? woke up, headed into the office, went to a wedding at the movies ... pretty typical, really."

so who are you? how have you found this space? say hello, stick around a bit - glad to have you. cheers.
