Weekend Update

I'm sleepy and my internet doesn't work, but I am catching someone's wireless somewhere. Weee! I'm tempted to just cancel the internet if this idiot keeps his "linksys" account unpassword protected, but I'm too addicted to take that chance.

So after that brutal Thursday I called in sick to work Friday and snuggled with Audrey all day to avoid humanity. Friday night Nate came over, we ordered pizza and watched the King of Kong. I thought it was a great movie, although since taking this hybrid documentary class I'm having a really hard time watching documentaries without being really critical about the true/false subjectiveness of it all. Hard to just sit back and enjoy a doc for face value.

Saturday we slept in, I got up only to go back to sleep on the couch for the afternoon. In the evening Nate and I went to a nice dinner at Wildfire, a steak place downtown. I went there last year with JP and Torri, so I knew what to expect and knew it was one of the few steakhouses I could afford to treat Nate at for helping me move/valentines day. We got goofy drinks like Manhattans, ate steaks and pork chops, had a big chocolate cream pie dessert, and enjoyed checking out people's bad clothing. Afterwards we went to his friend Nick's birthday get-together at Quencher's, where I didn't really know anybody. The liquor from dinner made me sort of tired, which got me crabby to be somewhere where nobody was talking to me and I wasn't doing a very good job of talking, so I just went home instead.

Sunday was another sleep in, then I did that rectangle of errands that is Target, PetSmart, Home Depot and Dominicks. I somehow fit all of them in the 2.5 hour time period I had the car share for, which may be a new record for me. Nate installed a curtain rod to put my navy curtains up in my room to help block out the extreme brightness that comes in the morning. I spend the evening watching tv and reading for my other blog. Went to bed in the new dark room, and Audrey didn't wake up at the buttcrack of dawn today like she has been. I declare the curtains a success!

I went to work today despite really wanting to continue to stay home, and it was ok. Hybrid doc night was tonight - we watched An Injury to One and House of the Tiger King. It was a long night of movies, but both were pretty decent. Next week is the last class - with Wild Blue Yonder, my least favorite Herzog film. I'm hoping that a second viewing will help me enjoy it better?
