Things I Did This Week
In an effort to get out of the house more, I made plans for every night this week, sometimes going so far as to double book with more than one person. You see, lately, I haven’t done anything. I’m newly graduated and newly single and newly in possession of Roswell on DVD, so I spend all of my time sitting in my house wearing my Snuggie (the blanket with the armholes) and watching TV DVDs. Something had to give. This plan worked sometimes. Other times it didn’t.
For instance, I made plans to get drunk with Nathaniel and Eugene, but Eugene ended up leaving early and, in a drunken state, Nathaniel and I created a hockey team in NHL 2001 entirely populated by characters from Lost. (For instance, the first line is Jack centering Kate and Sawyer, the first defensive pairing is Sayid with the Black Smoke Monster, and the goalie is, of course, Hurley.) So, not the cool, fun night it was planned to be. But we did win our first two games, and Desmond is proving to be a quiet star.
I also continued my streak of sitting through awful entertainment whenever I hang out with Hannah. We’ve already seen The Lodger and The Room together. Need I say more? Well, I will. We went to see my friend, the very talented Jason Harris, play a show with a bunch of other amateur musicians and, other than Jason’s performance, it was the worst thing ever. Ever. Really. Not hilariously bad like The Room. Just bad. But it was a good time anyway, because we got really drunk and hung out with Henry and Brook (possibly my favorite couple in the world not named Joe and Janna…sorry Matt and Danielle—you guys would make the top five, no problem). We also had a sleepover party at Spiritchild’s house, which would feel more mystical and enigmatic if not for his VCR/TV combo in the living room.
And what did I watch this week? Well, Chuck was great as always, Battlestar Galactica is finally getting great again heading towards the series finale and Friday Night Lights and Lost kicked my ass as always. Oh, and Big Love finally lived up to its enormous potential with what has to be the best episode of the series thus far. (Just as an update, Dollhouse remains good-but-not-yet-great). I also listened to the new Morrissey a lot, because it’s wonderful.
Tonight? Hanging out with Joe and Janna, playing the third wheel for the first time in ages. Good times.
