belated valentines day post

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

So, what did i do on my romantic and mushy gushy valentine’s day weekend?
Well, Saturday we played Dante’s Inferno, I went and danced at a club with a friend on saturday night, sunday we played through Dante’s Inferno some more. Then had a nice dinner at our mexican place complete with mariachi’s (playing nuestro juramento thankyouverymuch). And monday we finished Dante’s Inferno. (which btw wasn’t that great…and as a raised catholic, VERY wierd to have the power to absolve people)

I asked Gavin as we were leaving for the restaurant, cause it’s been on my mind, if it’s still ok to be a tomboy at 30. To which he said “yeah that’s why i’m with you.” Apparently he genuinely likes that i don’t wear makeup, never do my hair and that my idea of perfume is body lotion.
Though I feel totally validated and can stop stressing not putting lipstick on like ‘normal’ girls, it still makes me wonder (’cause i’ve been thinking a bit too much recently). It’s not my upbringing, I mean, my sister isn’t like me. She wears stylish clothes, goes shopping every few months maybe (on purpose!), spends more than $10 on a haircut and wouldn’t be caught dead in my ratty combat boots. I wonder why we turned out so different.
Anyhow, hope you had wonderful valentines day! And i hope you all have wonderful partners that never make you feel ‘odd’ for getting a kick out of slicing a demon in half on valentines day.

Just finished Wishful Drinking, Carrie Fishers’ memoir. Read it in a day, it’s short but oh so sweet. You simply must pick it up. All of you, no really, now….

Well go on, grab it already! ;)

Adding items to my amazon wish list is really satisfying thing somehow. My Bday and xmas are long gone but it’s still a nice way mark things and feel like “yeah, i’m getting that. no, not anytime soon but that is SO mine!” heh

familia

I spent a couple hours scanning old family photos this weekend.
I only posted my side, might post gavins later. I really wish i had more photos of my dads’ side of the family, all i really have are one good pic of my grandmother taken in the 70’s and one not so great pic of my grandfather in the 90’s. I’ll have to ask around when i go over later this year. Below is a great portrait of my grandmother on my moms’ side, Blanca Toscano. Love this style of portrait, it’s kind of sad that we don’t do this in our times. What you can’t see from this black and white is that she had green eyes. Gorgeous. I’ll scan some color photos of her once i find them.
