weekend warrior

Finally its the weekend, that shining beacon which gets us through the week. The problem with looking forward to the weekend so much is that its hard not to get your hopes up. Friday night as you lay in bed and all the people who don't have to get up at 6:30 are out reveling, you console yourself by conjuring up images of how awesome Saturday night will be. Fingers crossed.

Anyway, discussing the weekend brings me to another topic and that is (surprise!) attire. The weekend requires a different dress code than the week. I personally believe in dressing down on the weekends, looking too quaffed signals that you have too much time on your hands, you care too much about how you look. The weekend is about being carefree, yet busy (a paradox, i know) and therefore the clothing one wears should reflect that. i only where tee-shirts and jeans on the weekend, in attempt to look more laid back (which i am not). On Sunday i wear my glasses which have two effects:
1) I look like I must have had a good time the night before because I was too tired to even put on my contacts in the morning. If everyone thinks I partied hard the night before it must be true, right? Even if I went to bed at 12:30( see: last Saturday), people assume I am cooler than I really am (or so I hope).
2) I look more studious. This is of course in direct opposition to number one. The glasses allow people to read into them what they wish. Am I a crazy partier or studious library dweller, no body knows.
(Also, imp. to add that the New York Times just featured glasses as the next big trendy accessory in their style section. Obviously, me and my Dolce and Gabana glasses fit right in).

My weekend to do list:
  • laundry (ksw??)
  • successfully draw some Gothic windows
  • go for a run, and check out the leaves
  • get an extra workout in on the dance floor
  • read the NYtimes at a cafe for most of Sunday morning
  • do something brave 9this is an ambiguous goal which resurfaces almost every weekend)
