All Hopped Up
On Sunday night, our little urban tribe gathered at the House of Tequila for a new + improved version of the standard Easter family dinner.
Cramming 6 people (including Aretha Franklin) into my smallish kitchen led to some seriously creative, by the seat of yer pants cooking. Featured were such traditional Easter favorites as manicotti, mashed sweet potaters, and freestyle soy meatloaf. Copious amounts of wine were guzzled, someone taught the kids how to play a nifty new card game, Dylan learned that a Philosophy major is a hot ticket to becoming someone's secretary, and then the adults retired to the back porch to smoke cigarettes and swap dating horror stories. For the record, "You have the face of the body of a porn star" and "I hope your cat doesn't get euthanized" are not good pick up lines. Nor is anything involving Star Trek.
Best Phone Message of the Weekend
"Hello? Hi, it's me. Hi! I'm just calling to say... I'm just calling to tell you that I love you. I love you! I do! You're my best friend! You're my B-F-F. We're best friends! Hang on a second- JUST A MINUTE I'M ON THE PHONE! Yeah, so, um, we're over at the bar, havin' a little drinkie. Drinking, because that's what we do. You should- wait, hang on a sec- OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST ORDER ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE THINGS I HAD LAST TIME. God. Okay, um ... that's all. Love you! Hee. Hee hee. HA HA HA H-" *click*
But I Can't Hold It!
On my way to the train Friday, I walked by this:
It was just hanging out on the corner, waiting for the light to change, I guess. No clues on where it came from but someone apparently has exceptional aim.
Bride and Prejudice
I loved this movie so much I wanted to pack my bags and move into it. Charming! Campy! Hilarious! Touching! And so darn gorgeous I could just eat it. Haven't been this smitten with a film since Amelie. You all* must watch it immediately. Rating:
*Disclaimer: Dudes, it's kind of a girly movie so if you choose to wait for the Netflix, that is acceptable.
