why does it always take so long to get to wednesday
this scene from seinfeld (the pen) always reminds me of trying to count down the days or trying to make days go faster:
[setting: condo's guest room]
(Elaine is lying on the sofa bed. It's too hot. She can't fall asleep)
(knock on door)
ELAINE: Come in.
JERRY: Are you O.K. in here?
ELAINE: Why is it so hot in here? How can they sleep like this?
JERRY: It's only for three days. Today's over and we have tommorow. We leave on Sunday. It's one day, really.
ELAINE: Oh man. What is with this bar? It's right in my back. It's killing me.
JERRY: Oh you wanna switch? I'm sleeping on a love seat. I've got my feet up in the air like I'm in a space capsule.
ELAINE: I am never gonna fall asleep.
JERRY: Oh, don't say that. You'll jinx me.
ELAINE: How can they not put the air conditioning on?
JERRY: They're nuts with temperature.
ELAINE: This bar is right in my back! It's making a dent.
JERRY: How about that guy writing a check for 19.45?
ELAINE: I'm sweating here. I'm in bed, sweating.
JERRY: It's one day. Half a day, really. I mean you substract showers and meals, it's like twenty minutes. It will go by like that. (snapping his fingers)
(scene ends)
and of course this clip never fails to make me laugh:

F.R.I.E.N.D.S
I thought they where supposed to be fun?
Last weekend I went to a friends birthday dinner which included family and friends. I knew a couple of people there so it was ok as it can be. The birthday girl was planning on going out afterwards with all of her friends. Sometimes I feel bad for not wanting to go out clubbing afters, however, I think again and I shouldn't feel bad! I should be able to have a choice of going or not going without any hesitations, right? Well in this case wrong. Some of her friends left and she was ok - happy they came, happy they left - at what ever time. One of my other friends asked if I was going out with them after the dinner party was over. She made a huge deal about me not going out. She kept pestering me and asking why I wasn't, I understand that she may want me to go out with them but stop at a certain point... I felt really embarrassed because of the big deal she made. Why can't I just say what I want to do? It didn't stop there.
She called over the birthday girl and told her I was not coming out. At this stage I didn't have the chance to tell her myself so I felt more guilty about my friend telling the birthday girl. The birthday girl says:
"Oh, are you going to sleep with "(a male friend") instead?" and storms off!
..excuse me?
What makes a person say that to someone?
Especially since I have never slept with this friend of mine...And I don't talk about my personal life in detail to her..
I didn't argue with her or confront her because a)it was her night and b) i just let things like this blow over, i don't make things into a big deal - as you can tell.
but why do that? i want to be able to make my own decisions without feeling awkward.

Ja'mie King - I think you are right
the article below made me think of this video. light hearted people!
Mums, daughters accused of stealing designer clothes
(check out the cop laughing)
TWO mums and their daughters have been charged with stealing $120,000 worth of designer clothing, jewellery and make-up from Perth department stores.
The two girls, aged 14 and 16, were allegedly apprehended for stealing from David Jones in Perth on Wednesday.
Police tracked their mothers to a nearby coffee shop and later located a car, where officers allegedly found the back seat and boot of the vehicle laden with expensive garments.
It will be alleged that police discovered about 450 items of clothes, estimated to be worth up to $120,000 and stolen over a two-year period, after raiding two houses in Marangaroo and Clarkson this week.
In what police today described as an ``Aladdin's cave'', officers uncovered designer clothing, including a $1600 dress hanging in one of the women's wardrobes. The clothing was allegedly stolen from city department stores and boutiques.
Police will allege that the girls went into each store with a handbag and stashed the stolen items in the bag's inner lining.
It is understood that electronic security tags attached to some of the garments were cut off using pliers in an effort to avoid detection.
Detectives said they believed the clothing , allegedly stolen from David Jones, Myer and smaller boutiques in Perth, Karrinyup, Mandurah and Clarkson, was being stolen for personal use, but will also investigate if the thefts were part of a wider, organised racket.
Acting Sergeant Ian Lyon said police had not seen anything on this scale before.
``It was like an Aladdin's cave. There was just clothing everywhere and it was all new and it all had damage marks from the security tags where they had been taken off,'' he said.
``Some of the items have been damaged. On Wednesday some of the items were still left in the store. The security ink had gone over the items so they left them in the store.
``It appears quite organised.''
A 41-year-old woman and her 16-year-old daughter, both of Clarkson, will be summonsed to appear in court on stealing and receiving offences.
A 38-year-old Marangaroo woman and her 14 year old daughter will also be summonsed for similar offences.
The two women are sisters.
