As is often the case, I don't really know what I did last week. I really should keep a journal or something, because I did do things. I don't think much happened till Thursday though. Friday I went to a pub. It was with a group of friends I don't see as often as I'd wish, but I do rather enjoy the quality time we spend together. I got the meat loaf. Like Duckling, I LOVE meat loaf. We could all definitely benefit from a uni-loaf. But it was seriously the best meat loaf ever. Kind of spicy, with a sweet glaze on top...it was good. It kind of reminded me of my first experience trying haggis. Anyway, the mashed potatoes with it were way too good and too creamy to not have some sort of dairy incorporated, so they were either made with cream or cream cheese or there was something else that made them slightly cheesey in there. And let's not forget the fried green beans, which I thought were asparagus at first, but were tastey nonetheless.
After the pub we decided desert needed to happen. They were out of the cheesecake, so we went in search of gilato ice cream. Once we'd found it we decided to see if there were any movies at the dollar theater we might want to see. I've got to say, not that good of a selection right now. The only thing that most of us hadn't seen, and that the one who had seen it was willing to see again, was Akeelah and the Bee. I hadn't really heard anything about it, but it was really good. Very feel good for the family, but pretty funny as well. It doesn't hurt if you're the kind of person who will find something to laugh at regardless of whether it's funny or not though. So I laughed at the funny parts, and I laughed at what struck me as funny, which made my good friend Mody next to me laugh, which made me laugh more...and I enjoyed it. You'll all be happy to know that I wasn't as loud as sitting next to Clarkie in X-Men though. Or afterward when he tried to put his hand through the window pane and then exclaimed, "I can turn air solid!" A very nice power to have as a mutant I must say:)
The unfortunate part of this was that I missed a rodeo to go to the pub. I don't regret it of course, just that the rodeo was on the wrong night. I've never been to one before, and I'd like to eventually, but mainly I'm sad because it's been so long since I've hung out with the work friends who went, and I never laugh so hard as when I'm around them. Sheidi in particular not only makes me laugh, but usually surprises the laughter out while making me laugh, so I don't know how it can be better than that. And my old bench mate has entertained me for so long with stories of her randomly impulsive and hilarious brother that I'm sad I missed out on the opportunity to finally put a face to her stories. Oh well, what can you do? I am going to Pete Yorn with some of them tonight, so that will be fun.
Let's see...that puts us at Saturday. By far the best part of this day was the cheesey Hallmark movie that Pinkie, Duckling and I watched in Pinkie and FK's basement. Love Comes Softly. So funny, but decidedly not through intention. Except that one part: "IT. The love." But about half way through the movie I had the ending predicted exactly. It was kind of cool seeing it play out exactly as I had described, but no one could have predicted the music that went along with it. Very westerny, and totally reminded me of that "beef, it's what's for dinner" commercial. So he's coming over the hill on his horse, and it's all like, "dah, DAH--dah, DAH!" Very dramatic. And then there was the softer "chigga dung, chigga dung, chigga dung" part which followed, which Duckling impersonates best with her riding on a horse actions. Then they kept alternating them while flashing back from him riding the horse, and the wagons he was trying to catch. A classic movie moment, though not so much if you weren't enjoying it with us.
And I think I'll end it there. I could say something about the 24th, but I'll wait till next time.
