verbicideBut there was much Jeff-ness this weekend, so that was glorious.
I am almost done with BSG 2.5 --5 episodes left!
Saturday I talked with Didier, and then Jeff came over to hang out, we ran errands, and ended with dinner at U Village. It was really so damn good to just hang out with him again.
Sunday I spoke with Alain, and then headed for Pacific Place. I returned some stuff to Eddie Bauer (I don't understand why manufacturers can't get the damn color black right. It shouldn't be faded and dingy when it's new!)
I met up with Tony to discuss the last of the Buffy discs and also BSG, but we had to cut it short because I had to go meet Pete for Running with Scissors at the Meridian.
The movie was... um. Not sure how to describe it. I mean, I thought the acting was really great, but there's a scene with a cat that made me so angry that I never quite recovered from it, and never forgave any of the characters for it. And it was just a strange movie. I have to admit I don't have a lot of patience for the 'artistic' temperament. I am moody and melodramatic and passionate, too --but manners tend to keep that shit reined in. I don't think rampant self-indulgence is acceptable behavior, no matter how sensitive you may be. It's lame. Fucking get over yourself. So, there.
Anyhow. So while I can admire the direction and acting skills --I think it was a successful movie-- it wasn't something I'd say I enjoyed or would want to watch again.
Afterward, I dropped Pete off by his car and hightailed it to Jeff's. We made Christmas cards! It was so much fun! Jeff has a billion stamps and card-making paraphernalia and the evening had that craft-y, cosy feeling. Very Little House on the Prarie.
Our cards really mirrored us. Jeff's are very earthy and nature-like with leaves. Mine are cartoon-y with bold colors, and Brian (one of Jeff's good friends) made cards that were as hip as he is. I finally got to meet Brian's boyfriend Randy, who is absolutely adorable.
We walked down to the Alehouse to meet up with Chris and his tennis-buddies, post tournament (Chris won a trophy!). They were a really nice group of guys, and it was fun. Eventually, it was back to the card-shop and I got home late.
I'm in my weird anti-cooking phase again. I just can't think of any food that I want to make and eat. It's annoying, and I need to figure it out already. Just been too scatter-brained lately.
Also, have mad craving for Hamburger Helper because of the damn movie.

Date: 2006-12-05 12:42 am (UTC)... crazed mutiple fandoms ...
Date: 2006-12-05 03:54 am (UTC)As it happens, our talk motivated me to rent that last disk of BSG 2.5. All I'll say is that they did a number of things that I considered unexpected. Love to pick up our conversation about this show again, after you've gotten to the end of season 2.
Thanks for the Running with Scissors review. The scary thing: living in the Noho area all those years, I met just enough self-absorbed whackjobs to make the characters in the book version at least believable. Not likeable, but believable in an eyerolling way.

Date: 2006-12-05 06:34 pm (UTC)I found the characters believable enough, I just really disliked them all intensely. Let me know what you think of it if you end up seeing it!
