Another Monday

I was looking at an old gas receipt from last week, and already the price of gas has risen 10 cents per gallon since then.  This is the only, only time I wish I drove some death trap of a vehicle, because you want to know how much I spent filling up only half a tank?  Fifty dollars.  For half a tank. Yay for gas-guzzling trucks.  Sigh.

This weekend was fun.  I watched There Will Be Blood.  I liked it, it was really good.  Caveat: if you are expecting an action-packed film, this is certainly not the movie for you.  It unfolds slowly but it has a really good story.  And it certainly wasn't as slow as some of the movies I had to watch for my film class, like The Claim, which was so terribly boring (was that really two years ago already?)  The performances in this movie were really good too.  I can see why Daniel Day-Lewis won an Oscar.  I think Paul Dano should have gotten at least nominated, because he also did a really good job.  Even the kid actors were talented and weren't hammy and annoying like some kid actors tend to get.

I am so thirsty. I need to get some water.  I went for the run today and forgot my stopwatch :(  It was a short workout, a little over mile that was split into a 500 m sprint and two 200 m sprints.  I felt like I was having an easier time running faster, but who knows, since I didn't have a stopwatch to confirm this. 

So I finally have business cards.  I feel terribly official now.  I put my title as "Graduate Environmental Engineer" which is unnecessarily fancy.  But I didn't want to put "EIT" because even though I passed the FE, I'm still waiting for the dumb certificate to come in and I didn't want anyone to look me up in the database and think I was lying when my name didn't pop up.  So far I have only given my business card to a friend at work, my parents, and my hairdresser, who I've known since I was in high school.  Her name is Rocio and she is adorable.  She is really proud of me and always gives me dating and life advice, and no one does hair like her (not at the good price she charges, at least). Anyway, Rocio was so excited about my business cards that she took several.  I have yet to give my cards to a client. 

I need a new schedule.  It will commence tomorrow. I think.

Ok I really need to get some water and start winding down.
