Weekend Update

Friday night I watched Ulrich Seidl's Models and was thoroughly disappointed. So far I've enjoyed all the Seidl movies I've seen. I had heard bad reviews about this one, so I should have taken that as a warning and skipped it. Oh well. Then Nate came over and we played scrabble (I won!).

Saturday we woke up and biked to some junko diner for breakfast, Mitchells, on Clyborn and Armitage. It was like a giant Village Inn, complete with screaming children. At least we tried something new right? Then we wandered over to GameStop and Nate bought MLB 2K7 and Tony Hawk 4. Naturally, we played both games for about six hours that afternoon. It is really boring to watch someone play Tony Hawk for hours. MLB 2K7 was really complicated but by the 9th inning of our game we seemed to understand it.

Saturday night we walked to Wicker Park Fest and saw Man Man perform. I wasn't excited to see them after Nate described them as "Tom Waits-ish" with horns and costumes. Ugh. While I don't think I'd ever listen to their cd, the live show was alright. A bit too circus-y for me. They reminded me of the Muppet band, what was their name...Dr Teeth? Then we got mexican food with VA, Zamelia and Soup, and headed to Aaron's going away party. Aaron has this amazing porch in the backyard and the weather was awesome, so we sat outside until 3 am. I didn't realize how late it was until I got home - I hadn't intended to be out so late.

As a result, I slept in late, and took a huge nap this afternoon. I feel a little guilty about it because I have so much to do around my apartment, but at the same time it was the first weekend in weeks that I could just pass out on the couch listening to baseball. I won't be able to next weekend because my mom is here, so I needed to take advantage of my laziness. I still have all night tonight (after BB8 of course) to do some of the cleaning crap I want to do.

And so, another week looms. I feel like things have been out of my control lately both at work and at home. I think they'll be out of my control until October, and it sucks but I'll work through it. I've been so happy since moving here that I guess its ok to be flustered every now and then. As long as in the end everything works out without me losing what I want or compromising too much of myself to keep things going. Uhh...oh yay looks like Big Brother is on, time to end this random post.
