catching up

nikki1 keeps trying to get me to start up my own little page type thing on myspace. i don't really need one, i have a blog...oh wait that's right, i have a blog. i feel like it's been a year since i last posted, but i haven't done anything to warrant the time away. G and i met up for drinks and a movie. lucky number slevin. i'm not sure what kind of acid trip the critic was on when he compared it to pulp fiction and the usual suspects, but whatever. i didn't hate it, but it was terribly easy to predict. but josh hartnett ran around in a towel for a good bit of time, so there was that. my darling kia hooked me up with some fun cartoons, as she likes to call them. she and her mother enjoy watching them together. i spoke with keara on the phone last saturday. we discussed all that is degrassi. i explained to her my five year plan for my life.

keara: you should come to DC for my birthday.
me: i can't, i have to work.
keara: quit.
me: now you sound like kia.
keara: guess that doesn't fit in to your five year plan huh?

i told her i met nine days a few times, and that i actually got to hang out with them at a bar for a bit one time. for the first time ever, when telling that story, i didn't hear "who's nine days?" as a response.

i got some drunken "i love you, your my best friend" texts from nikki1. i told her she needed to watch calling me her best friend around G, 'cause G would slice her if she heard that.

i ordered a new hard drive for my computer since all of the music that i have has taken up most of my free space. thank you best buy gift cards.

i caught up with ms. b and we professed our love for so noTORIous, i really think that's my favorite show on tv right now. who knew donna martin could be so funny?

and tomorrow jules and i are supposed to see friends with money. i love me some catherine keener. i haven't heard back from her, since her initial invite, so we'll see if that pans out.

and now i have three netflix movies, and one hundred hours worth of shows saved on the old dvr to catch up on.

why i'm smiling...

a fun, fun dinner with ms. k on tuesday, seriously the best haircut of my life, having my sister in town for an easter visit, my very own copy of loggerheads finally showing up in the mail, the flip-flops finally making their appearance, seeing thank you for smoking, laughing very hard at a smart comedy (rare i know), seeing previews for little miss sunshine, friends with money AND trust the man.

and:

my new matty cd.

shortly after waking up this morning, still lying in bed, i thought about how i was going to spend this great 01:02:03 04/05/06 holiday that everyone keeps talking about. i decided i'd get up, shower, and head into town to do some grocery shopping, run some other errands, and look at blockbuster's used movie selection. i have this useless $10 gift card that i wanted to use before it expired. so i got up, looked out the window, and saw SNOW everywhere. then i thought, "oh hell no." it was warm yesterday, i drove around with the windows down at noon. i mean, what the hell? instead, i made my way to the couch, crawled under my blanket, and watched stay. it was good, i'm happy it didn't turn out he way that i assumed it would. the way the trailer kinda lead you to believe. eventually i made my way up off the couch and to the shower. i briefly made it into town to pick up something for my mother and to mail off stay. but the excursion wasn't as exciting as i wanted it to be when i woke up this morning. honestly, i need to wear my flip-flops soon. i fear for my mental health if i'm unable to.

the weekend

in october 2004, patty griffin was on austin city limits on pbs, and i missed knowing about it by one week. after being miserable about it, and searching for it but coming up empty-handed, it was finally on again this week. she was only on for half an hour (sharing the episode with the insanely talented damien rice), and she only sang about five songs, but it was completely worth the wait. i've given up on ever seeing her live since she never comes to ohio, so i guess this is as close as i'll get. maybe it's for the best since i couldn't keep from crying at hearing the sound of her voice. true, it might have been the four beers that lead up to viewing the episode, but i'm pretty sure it was the voice. watching loggerheads twice in one week, that just so happened to feature three patty songs may have been a contributing factor as well, who knows. i love movies like loggerheads that sneak up on you, catch you by surprise, bash you over the head with a frying pan, and cause you to bawl like the little girl that you truly are. i think this was the first time ever, with the 100+ dvds that i own, that i've watched a movie with the director's commentary on for the entire time during my second viewing.



in other news...i had the best pancakes ever for breakfast, and ice cream for dinner. i watched playing by heart again, and three episodes of my new favorite show the loop for the second time. this spring ahead business has me all out of sorts, but i am handling it a little better than my dvd recorder. at 2 a.m. this morning it flashed for a solid minute, then switched to 3 a.m. and then somehow added on another thirteen hours to its clock. i noticed it this afternoon when it said 5 a.m. at 4 p.m. and now i think i'm going to go to bed. here's hoping i won't wake up until next saturday.
