"isn't that the way we paint the town..."

wednesday:
saw before sunset.  i can't profess my love enough for this movie.  as it ended he said, "i wish it wasn't playing so far away, i really need to see that again." i agreed but decided that i wanted to see the first one again.  the last scene was cinematic perfection.  so real.  so effortless.  it sneaks up on you and quietly bashes you over the head as the screen fades to black.  wow.  dinner was great as well.  nice conversation.  great company.  you're a little kid and an adult rolled into one person.  i don't know how you do it.  you make me laugh, both at and with you.  shopping at borders at 10pm was a lot of fun.  going from shelf to shelf picking out movies for one another.  i'm still bitter that everyone has a box set except brak.  damn the man.

thursday:
dinner with the girls from work.  i brought frozen cosmos and a killer new sandwich into their lives.  we ate so much i seriously thought vomiting was the only option.  i saw rick.  i hoped that i would, but didn't really think i would.  i really wasn't even looking for him and then i looked up and saw him looking at me, one table over.  i found myself smiling and saying hi as he walked up to our table.  had a mini-out of body experience.  had to text G and fill her in.

me: guess where i am? guess who i just saw?
G: you soooo saw rick! call me and fill me in when you get home.

friday:
saw the bourne supremacy.  sweet.  i did like the first one a little better.  but this one was not a disappointment in the slightest.  later that night i went to the campgrounds with my mom.  saw my aunt and uncle.  he still looks ok, has some more doctor's visits this week and is still on his cancer medication.  i found myself flashing back to when i was a little kid, as i always do when i'm there every summer.  i remember the place being so big, buildings far apart.  now everything looked so tiny to me.  as if i were viewing the entire area through the window of an airplane.  even the lake out front seemed to be half the size it once was.  i thought about the time my grandpa's heart stopped and we called for an ambulance  the wait for it was one of the scariest pieces of time i've ever found myself in.  i remembered playing board games with my cousins until 2am in the only building that had air conditioning in it.  and now it all just seemed like a different place to me.

saturday:
met up with the girls (ms. b and ms. k) for dinner and some drinks.  a lot of drinks.  ms. b was toasted.  we laughed a lot.  tried to fill in the few remaining missing pieces from paulie's party last weekend.  mainly what bedrooms everyone walked out of in the morning.  paulie either shared his bed with a married woman or a boy, we're still not sure on that one.  mapped out plans for a halloween party at ms. b's.  "hi.  listen i know it's only july and halloween is months a way, but what are you doing then?" ms. b asked several people as she called them from the table.  somehow our waiter ended up giving us his number and email address so he could come.  and apparently i'm making my world famous chicken for the event.  well, that's what the piece of paper tells me anyway.  ms. b and i have our costumes already, and ms. k was a little salty that we wouldn't share what they were with her.  three hours later we found ourselves crawling across the parking lot to check out anchorman.  it was pretty funny.  um, yeah i fell asleep for like 15 minutes and i woke up and they were laughing at me.  asses.  then i got home and watched big brother 5 at 1am.  i'm okay with the nominations, thanks gawd it wasn't my will.

today:
couching it.  watching a flick or two.  phoning my sis.  catching up on some rest.
