Steven and I went to dinner tonight and they played this song over the loudspeaker. It's classic 80s and I swear the refrain of it is "Into the Night", but it's not the Benny Mardones song (the only one I can find). It's got a lot of piano in it. Anyone know what it is? It's driving me nuts.

Update: Like two seconds after I posted this, I remembered a line from it ("Get into your car and drive") and found it through Google. Someone else could only remember this line too. It's Joe Jackson's Steppin' Out.

I've been trying to get Steven to understand how blissful a full body massage is for a long time and this week he finally agreed to go get one.

I still had three massages left out of the buy four, get one free deal that I bought earlier this year, so I called and found an intern (I go to an intern massage school. Massages are just as good, but more than half off) that could do us both tonight.

Needless to say, Steven know totally understands how wonderful a professional massage can be. I have really strong hands and give him lots of back, hand, and skull massages, but since I don't have the table to have him lay on, I'll never be able to get that kind of leverage and pressure.

Ah, a massage to start the weekend. Heavenly!

I can't believe how sporadic my updates have been around here lately. I just haven't feel very "gabby" which is really different for me. It's been a week since I posted! So, here's a quick update.

For the Fourth, Steven and I went over to my boss's house and played poker with him, his wife, a co-worker, and his friend. I've totally gotten Dave, my boss, hooked on Hold 'Em (I told him to watch The World Poker Tour on The Travel Channel, which started the obsession). We played five handed and I won and the four handed and I won again. I actually made $50 playing poker, which was not too shabby considering I'd been drinking pretty steadily since about 7:00 or so.

Finally, after playing it was 2:00 am and I really wanted to go home, but Dave insisted on playing me heads up (meaning only the two of us) and then Steven heads up. I kept promising him we'd come back, but he really wanted to play.

We finally got home at about 3:00 when it became very apparent just how much I'd had to drink. We picked up Taco Cabana on the way home (yeah, I drank on an empty stomach to boot), so we ate and then went to bed.

I spent most of the night trying not to be sick and catching a few fitful hours of sleep, but I was much better by the next day.

Saturday Steven took his homemade pizza to the next level by making the sauce. He'd always made the dough, but used can sauce, so this was an experiment that could have gone very awry, but turned out really, really, really good.

We also watched AI: Artifical Intelligence. Very much a modern day fairytale.

My Burberry high heeled sandals that I won on eBay came in last week and I totally love them. I haven't walked around in four inch heels in a while (especially those without backs), but they freaking rock. Amazing how a nice pedicure and some sexy shoes can make you feel.

I guess things on the depression front are going okay. I don't feel sad, but I'm still feeling highly unmotivated and tired. I go see the doctor Monday, so I'm sure we'll talk about what to do next then.

I know part of the reason that I'm not blogging much is because I'm allowing myself to be cut off from people - both here and in real life. I'm going to make an effort to post every day (or at least every other) even if it's just to say hi. It's too easy to let myself turn inward and I don't want to continue to do that.

Anyway, that's what's been going on for the most part.
