The Weekend (in brief) and Mosquito!
Friday: Saw The Exorcism of Emily Rose with Phil and his girlfriend. The movie was more interesting than I expected, told in flashbacks through a negligent homicide trial. It wasn't mind blowing but it certainly had its creepy bits. One thing I found interesting was that the movie maintained a very neutral position on whether this was a sick girl or a possessed girl.
Saturday: I had a very nice brunch with taura_g. Then ran errands with her and accompanied her, buxom_bey, and another friend, whose lj handle I don't know, to sunspiral's excellent End of Summer Party. It was good, I did not hug the banister for 2 hours this time. In fact I had relatively little social anxiety once I was there. Hurray for feeling comfortable in certain crowds. There was good food, drink, conversation, burning, a job lead, and best of all scritches! Which more than makes up for:
Sunday: I came down with some sinus-creeping ick. I attempted to help my mother in removing our 20 year old microwave to install the new one, but couldn't stand up for too long without wanting to fall over. Liquids and bedrest!
Monday: The ick hasn't subsided yet so I batter it with more decongestants while finishing installing the new microwave. More liquids and reading in bed. Hopefully tomorrow I will be feeling much better.
And now for the promised entertainment: If you're a fan of Firefly you need to see the next generation in scifi-westerns! Just a warning: don't watch the videos with a full mouth. Mosquito!
