twicketfaceWell, let’s go for the weekend recap, shall we?
Friday was a good night. Highlights included:
Brian coming over
Playing Yoshi and having Orange Julius
Playing Simpsons Clue (in which I won. This is the first time in the history of me that I have *ever never ever* won Clue so it was reason to celebrate. By the way, it was Smithers with the Extend-o-glove at The Frying Dutchman.)
Went through a photo album with Brian of high school and some college pictures. He and I had a different circle of friends, but he’s pretty much absorbed mine due to living in Oshkosh and around our mutual friends. I don’t think there is anyone that doesn’t get along with Brian, he’s very considerate and friendly at all times. Anyway, it was fun to relive some memories.
Saturday Marie had her training class. She was gone from 8 until 4. Highlights included:
Working on my video project (preparing questions)
Cleaning the apartment (including the tub, blech!)
Talking with my dad (he had some good input with the Eric situation)
Reading MAUS and Barrel Fever
Kicking it on the computer
After Marie got home, we went to The Chalice for dinner (Veggie burgers and American fries) and then back to our place to watch “Sneakers”. Got a chance to see the Patriots beat the Raiders, which was cool.
Sunday was a trip to the Laundromat, since our washer is broken in our apartment building. Found a nicer place not far from where we live and had four loads done in an hour, which was a nice change of pace. Got home and cleaned up the apartment. Talked to Liz, who would be joining us for the Packer game at The Guys’. I made my way over there around 2:00. Jeremy arrived shortly there after with Marie and Liz coming right before kick-off. Eric made tacos, so we had a mid-lunch snack. Watched the dreary first half of the Packers/Rams game. Made a run to Subway at halftime so Liz could have some food. My second veggie sandwich of the weekend, and it was great. Returned for the second half and was equally disappointed. And by the way, fuck the Rams for going for it on 4th and 1 when they were leading by 28 points. Great teams have class and that was about as low class as you can get. I give them the fact that they played a good game, but they’ve not done anything to get my respect.
Brian, the kind soul himself, loaned me 5 (count ‘em, five) Dismemberment Plan CDs to give a listen to and about 8 Nintendo games to try out. He’s got Nintendo at his parent’s house and thought I might enjoy some variety in the games I have to play. Classy, all the way. I’ll have to see if I’ve got anything he’d enjoy, but I always feel that he’s got a leg up on music and such, since he’s always been ‘in the know’.
Proceeded home after kicking it with the guys for a while (Liz and Marie headed out midway through the 4th quarter). We engaged in a round of LIFE in which Marie was the big winner. I was a Salesman making a cool $100,000/yr until Marie switched salary cards with me. How rude is right.
Read some more of Miller’s The Air Conditioned Nightmare and dozed off around 10:30 or so. Had a good, restful sleep and felt pretty away this morning.
Today at work has been rather relaxing. Not a lot going on, which suites my Monday morning game plan nicely. I’ve got another dentist appointment at 4:00 today, so I’m getting used to these short Mondays. Of course, not used to the sweaty palms and heart palpitations that accompany said appointments, but I’m working on it.
Tonight should be a Novocain fueled evening, complete with drooling and humorous attempts to eat dinner. Such are the joys in my life.

Mmmmm, full length movie.
oh goodness
Date: 2002-01-22 09:15 am (UTC)my friends and i played simpsons monopoly a few weeks back. is it possible to finish a game of monopoly? i figured anyone who is playing a game of rummy to 5 million might know.
Re: oh goodness
Date: 2002-01-22 09:19 am (UTC)Monopoly is tremendously fun, but terribly long to play. We always deal out the properties so as to maintain some semblence of a social life.
Rummy 5,000,000 scores:
Me - 14,000
Marie - 13,000 (give or take a few hundred)
I think we're resolving to play 3 games a night no matter what to kick it up a notch. I've held my lead for a long time, just waiting for Marie to stop going easy on me.
Re: oh goodness
Date: 2002-01-22 11:16 am (UTC)game ettiquette aside, i think maybe they wouldn't go for more than a PG-13 feature. you're right about them being highly creative with dialogue, and smart, too. i think maybe their intelligence would suffer for the content. this isn't South Park, after all.
still, i could see them pushing the PG 13 limit to its fullest - i remember bart finding out he could say hell, and i'm sure if they came on after 9 they'd find ways to say 'ass' or whatever else is allowed. i just think of them as on eof those great cartoons that entertains on many levels, and i'd hate to see hollywood destroy that.
Re: oh goodness
Date: 2002-01-22 01:56 pm (UTC)Do you play with money in free parking or not? I like the idea, but most frown on it.
I think they could get away with a lot using PG-13 as the guide. Hell, most PG-13 movies aren't PG-13 anyway. Each episode is so layered, I think a movie would be great. About the only reason I'd have to get a DVD player would be to get every Simpsons season on DVD. Well, that and the KS series. And if they had a Kids In The Hall boxset. But really, that'd be it. I mean it.
