A Very Productive Day

Yesterday was a very busy day. I had planned a cinema day with my friends. So I went to the cinema, but when we got there it was much too sunny to spend the whole day in the dark. Thankfully we still viewed the first film on the list: Kick-Ass. Which, I just have to say, is an AWESOME film. Everybody (who is above the age limit) should go see it. Right now.

Then we went for lunch at a new restaurant, conveniently located next to the cinema, whose entire menu is made up of starters, or starter size portions of main meals, its a little confusing, but still quite yummy. Then we went shopping. Because really, when its a sunny Saturday what else can you do? I bought a new skirt, which is flowery and a little flouncy, generally its quite summery, which given the day yesterday I would say is quite appropriate.

After about 2 and a half hours of shopping we all went home. I watched a bad TV programme with my mum, and then read a book my friend lent me. It was called "The Manny" by Holly Peterson. It was really rather good for chick lit (which is a phrase I quite hate, but seems to sum up that genre quite well), in fact I read it all in one sitting, which kept me up past midnight, which is something I haven't done in a while.

So yesterday was a busy busy day.

Today however, was not. I woke up, lazed about for a while, and contemplated changing my current playlist on my computer. I did the usual, flicking through artists on itunes till something inspires me. Today it is All American Rejects, who I always seem to return to. They are really quite nice. But they also require me to listen to them very very loudly (which I don't think my Mum appreciates). So after some crazy dancing to overly loud music I then decided it was time to make that Owl shaped cushion I have been thinking about for weeks now, and that it was time to start watching Gilmore Girls again (not that I really ever stopped). It being Sunday I didn't rush this cushion making. I did all the sewing by hand (which I like to do sometimes, because its nice), and watched about 5 episodes of Gilmore Girls during this time. Now it is 8 o clock pm and all I achieved today was a cushion. Not terribly productive (see, the irony of the title here?). But I don't think I care. Here's my cushion, the fruit of my terribly un-productive day (because if I was being productive I would have made at least 3):



(Can you tell that this whole post was simply an excuse to post a picture of my new favourite thing? He's a little lopsided, but that just makes him special.)
