& an actual update about the weekend:
Friday evening was Lots o' Lips, the big a cappella concert we planned as a benefit for CVU's music department... we had a bunch of different groups & a GREAT crowd & I had such an awesome time emceeing & my dad was in the front row & I really do love a cappella. it was nice to get the show over with, too, because it was pretty stressful toward the end what with the planning & the drama getting the programs printed & Elliot being so sick & the sound system not working, oh, at all & what not.
but the positives: some REALLY great high school groups. those CVU boys are absolute rock stars! & the Middlebury girls group was awesome, too - they made me miss the Whirligigs so much! I think we're going to do another show with them which is awesome. the girls are all just really cool, too. their music director may or may not be the cutest softball playing beatboxing dyke - except she may very well be straight, it's just so hard to tell these days. I DO NOT CARE; I CAN CRUSH ON WHOMEVER I WANT.
so after was a Friday night I do not care to discuss so I won't discuss & I will skip right to Saturday morning, where I woke up at the ungodly hour of nine & couldn't fall back asleep so I cleaned my apartment & listened to Barenaked Ladies at a suitable volume & wandered downtown to go to the bank & thought about shopping a little bit but was really too tired to shop, so walked back home & got back into bed & watched Big Love until Emma called & then we went shopping & to get pedicures which was just lovely girl time. & my pedicure looks hot. I skipped the usual BRIGHTEST PINK YOU'VE GOT, THANKS! & went with a slightly more classy & infinitely more sophisticated dark red.
& Saturday evening was the Curtis Awards with the Vermont Democratic Party & the free dinner & nice cocktails & sitting with most of the Scudder team at our table & seeing lots of people I haven't seen in a while, & making small talk like a pro because I'm getting much better at social situations.
& T.Ruggs! with the Scudder team, which was the greatest thing of the weekend, handsdown. I love those people. & when that was winding down, Joe & I went to the Green Room to see Max Julien & all my gays, which was another good event. I don't know, I felt really happy on Saturday - Joe possibly not as happy what with all the house music.
& back to The Roommates to regroup which turned into Joe falling asleep at the kitchen table & everyone else going to afterhours. decided to simultaneously be a good caretaker & lower my own personal sketch factor by skipping Flynn Ave & hauling the drunk boy to a couch & sleeping, which brings me to Sunday, an adventure getting back to our neighborhood,
& then a day in which I did absolutely nothing besides watch the last two episodes of Six Feet Under, cry a little bit, go to Blockbuster/Chinese food & then sleep through two movies I actually wanted to see (Stranger Than Fiction, Bobby), slept a little more, went back to my apartment, & slept. I think my body was literally revolting because I'd slept so little all week, so I think maybe I'm all caught up now.
it was a decent weekend - a nice weekend to be at home & not have to do a ton of stuff, so that was good. I have a bunch of traveling weekends & busy home weekends coming up, so it was nice to take advantage.
this week should be okay, not a huge amount of stuff to do, but I've got some time to get ahead of Pride-related type things, so I really want to use my time well, which means:
1. no going out on weeknights (not that this is even an issue anymore, you all may have missed the memo but I am the most boring person to ever grace Burlington these days)
2. sleeping a lot at night so I don't suck at life during the day
3. follow those pretty little to-do lists I seem to have stopped making
& my main goal for the week is to start that ripple afghan! baby blanket making should keep me in check.
I'm getting excited to go to NYC, though. & for a bunch of different things in May.
so that was the update: I'm alive, I had a decent weekend, my mouth is hurting still but it's going to be just fine, & that's just about it.
