Okay fine.
Friday Night
- Got home from work, fell asleep.
- Woke up, took a shower.
- Fell asleep.
- Went to work at damn 7am. It sucked.
- An otherwise nice woman said to me: "Are you from the South? No? Well, I'm not being rude here, but the people in the South literally do not have an ounce of intelligence among them." Bold words.
- I like the South.
- Too humid though.
- But they have the best cemeteries.
- Of course, I've never been to Europe.
- After work me n' Terrence Rex tried to obtain a copy of Trainspotting. Blockbuster didn't have it and we were gonna go to Hollywood Video but got distracted by Little Caesars. Instead of Trainspotting we enjoyed a hot n' ready and watched Band of Brothers (episode 3: Carentan) for literally the millionth time.
- Sat around for a while as various people came and went.
- Went to the free Jazz fest at the City and County Building. I wish I'd had my camera because the City and County Building looks great in the evening's dimming light.
- On the way there we saw this old guy. I mean really old. He was sitting in a chair on his front lawn, and he was all leathery and had an insanely long white beard. He was a real life version of Jasper from The Simpsons (google him). We were all so amazed we had to drive by again.
- Ran into an old friend I've not seen in a while. We acknowledged each other and kept walking without missing a step.
- Is it okay to admit that I don't really care about jazz? I mean, I like the classics just fine, and I enjoy nighttime jazz on the local public radio station, but other than that I'm not really into it, y'know?
- Besides, the music I heard wasn't jazz at all, but some cruel hybrid of jazz, funk, and blues, watered down and weak sauced. I don't think people even write this music, it just happens.
- Scott and Andy (who you don't know, unless you do) engaged in a hula hoop battle. That was something. Also saw a Jazz Guy going crazy with his mad hula hoop skillz.
- Jazz Guy = frizzy hair, jean shorts, cell phone on belt, fancy silk cabana shirt, beer in hand. Jazz Guy was out in full force on this night.
- (not to be confused with Utah Jazz Guy. Maybe we'll talk about him next year).
- Thanks to my Richard Winters-esque quick thinking (google him) I totally rescued dessert for everybody, even though it meant sacrificing my own coffee to room temperatureness.
- Second attempt at Trainspotting. The long-hair working at Hollywood hadn't even heard of it. Aren't video store clerks supposed to be film geeks?
- Nothing else at the video store, nothing else at the Red Box.
- Back to the house (not my house) to watch Harry Potter 4. I don't know anything about Harry Potter. I saw the third one in the theatre but slept through it because I'd been hiking all day.
- Left after 45 minutes. Not because the movie was bad, but because I so tired.
- (I left out the part about how Saturday night I was in the worst mood ever).
- Watched a cool thing about Picasso's Guernica.
- Oh, also a great episode of Flight of the Conchords.
Maybe the long-hair at Hollywood was originally from the South.
ReplyDeleteAnd also you left because Harry Potter 4 (the movie) sucks.
