more time out of town for me this weekend. ms. k and i drove down to see p for some fun. we did the tailgate thing early on saturday and met up with some of his friends. his one friend chris is too adorable for words. something tells me i'll be making a trip back to visit SOON. tailgating was fun, standing around in 40 degree weather drinking ice cold beer packed shoulder to shoulder in a group of crazy football fans. i was there for the beer. there were so many people there. at one point while we were squeezing our way through the solid wall of people ms. k looked back at me and said, "i think we're making our way to the hell mouth now!" too funny she is. we also had to laugh at the airhead behind us on her cell. the school colors are red and grey. so she's trying to meet up with her friend's and she tells them that she's wearing a red sweater and a black jacket. sweetie, so was about 85% of the crowd that was down there. something tells me she's still standing around waiting for someone to come and find her. anyway after the game we met up with some more of p's friends and had a nice dinner. it's nice when you can sit around in a group of strangers and feel totally comfortable and welcomed. ms. k and i were discussing that on the drive back. after dinner we decided to just get drunk at p's and watch some movies and eat some cookies. they picked punch drunk love and eight crazy nights. i loved punch drunk love, no surprise really. i love paul thomas anderson movies. i bought it a couple months back i just never got around to watching it. eight crazy nights was actually much better than i thought it would be. cute, and it made me laugh. some of the songs were a little long and annoying, but i guess that's to be expected with adam sandler. it was a bit disturbing for me to see so much of myself in the two characters he played in the movies. one was sad and disconnected from the rest of the people in his life and the other was unable to let go of things from his past that was causing him to become so angry and bitter towards everyone and everything. i guess we're all a little broken in our own ways. like d once told me, "everyone's crazy in their own way it's just that some people hide it better than others". so we spent this morning watching the stone temple pilots dvd and burning some songs to cd for me to take back home. as always you can't have a visit with p without leaving with an armful of new music. he's like my own personal drug dealer. i'm glad we went. i'm glad that i put my funk on pause long enough for me to enjoy the trip.
