*waves* Hi Ari from a million miles away in a different season. Here's a long entry for you. And others. I'm not picky.
Updates....
- Finally saw Bob Saget, check that off my life list. Wish the ushers didn't sound so weirded out when they see a person going alone to these things. Apparently my ticket landed me at a table at the front of the stage, and I mean my knees were smashed up awkwardly into the stage and I had to look up. Luckily the other people at my table were friendly and forced introductions and were youngish. And of course, the comedy was great, because it's not even simply jokes, it's him being ADD and tourettey and just saying horrible things one after the other, it was hard to pay attention, ha. I sadly did not get heckled, though everyone else at the table feared it themselves and agreed to all point at me if he started talking to them.
- Saw Voltaire in Salem last Sat. Not such a great location for a show (tiny Thai restaurant, really?) and like last time my friend and I were stuck to the side at the bar, but it was still good times, and he played a lot of newish stuff, or at least songs I hadn't heard in awhile. And as he left the stage, knowing I wasn't getting anything signed later, with a mumbly warning I hugged his torso as he passed by, unable to stop me since he had many drinks in his hands. Luckily he seemed amused and not horrified. Not nearly as satisfying as a Rogue hug, but I'll take it. (Where the hell are all the bands these days? No one's playing, anywhere, ever.)
- I have a tree, I have eggnog, I have other silly holiday stuff about my place, but...meh. I don't know, holidays these days, all of them, don't seem to make me feel as much any more. Usually it's just because I'm too busy, maybe I'm just old...I go through the motions nonetheless, give it a shot. Family carol party wasn't so fun this year, but at least I was only asked once about flying solo. I used to have my sister or Natalie to rely on for company, made things better. But thumbs up for wine'n'brie, mmmm.
- Speaking of flying solo, I finally contacted Rick, and apparently he doesn't hate my guts as we both assumed he would. Quite the opposite, in fact. Willing to talk and rethink things. Oy. Hoping he moves on... But at least I can return his things without fear, and actually he's finally moving somewhere next month. I have this effect on people, date them for a certain minimum of time and then I let them loose to go better themselves. I should start charging a fee. This also means I can go see the premier of "Heaven & Hell," which I might do. It's showing at the Regent Theatre which surprised me, but at least it's a big place to hide in, and I have some high school friends who might join me which would help. I'll be hiding anyway, I'm in this movie far too much for my taste, blargh.
- Final words: If you haven't seen the "Silent Night, Deadly Night" movies, then do it. I've only seen the first two, but hot damn, I'm hooked. The 2nd one was 50% the 1st movie as a flashback and then random kill scenes in a place that wasn't even wintery. Made me laugh. Ha. |
