The Lonely Lime Wedge
Once upon a time, there was a lonely, little lime wedge that fell into an elevator door groove and got stuck. How it got there is was mystery, since there was no place in the building where one could go about finding a lime wedge. So, alone it languished, to desicate and wither and finally, to fossilize. Poor, pitiful lime wedge. The End.
I had an excellent weekend. Friday night I went to see Lysistrata at Synetic Theatre in Rosslyn with Greg and Lisa. It was fabulous (alas, the stage was not in the thrust configuration). So raunchy and dirty and full of innuendo and skin...lots of skin. To be more specific, a bunch of scantily clad college students. My face hurt from laughing afterwards. Good times. The next show is in their silent Shakespeare series. It's a version of Midsummer, which I really can't wait to see. After the show, I went to Atomic and saw a bunch of folks I haven't seen in a while, which was nice.
Saturday was a complete waste, but in a good way. It was too hot to do anything anyway, so I stayed in and mainlined BSG. Season Four is giving me high blood pressure! But oh, how I love it so. Speaking of BSG...did anyone catch on the SciFi Convention spoof ep of CSI, that the convention crowd was like playing "Spot the BSG Actor?"
Sunday, I went to see Earth with some friends, and it fulfilled all my expectations. Seeing that footage up on the big screen was totally worth my $9. And during the previews, I discovered that next Spring they are releasing Oceans in the theatres. I was bouncing up and down and clapping when I saw that. My friends made fun of me for how excited I was, but they can all go hang. :-p After the movie, I went in search of a dress (again) to no avail (again), but I did discover that I now can wear a size 10 (sometimes), which has never happened before. So, that was a nice surprise. So apparently, going to the gym actually works! What a concept.
Thankfully, yesterday I left work early to go shopping with my mom and dad out at Montgomery Mall, and wonder of wonders, I found a dress!! It's pretty and perfect for the cruise. Happy sigh of relief, that's for damn sure. Also, the little underwear place I like was having a going out of business sale, so I scored a bunch of bras that actually fit and some cute little lingerie type stuff.
This coming Saturday is my 15th High School Reunion. Eep! I am going, but only because three of my favorite teachers happen to be the keynote speakers. I don't actually care if I see anyone from my class. There are a couple people I wouldn't mind seeing, but more that I would prefer not.
