Kinda Fun Weekend-iness!

So for the first time in a while, I had a kinda fun weekend. It may have corresponded with me lucking out into a decent work schedule for it, but it was good times.

Thursday night, me and Britters went to see "The Legend of Zorro," which was kinda fun, even if the movie itself won't be getting any awards. It was still something to do and it was at a theater I hadn't been to before (Chagrin), so that was neat.

And Friday one of my good friends who goes to grad school in New York came to visit. Her brother's wedding was this weekend, so she visited before all the rehearsal stuff. And another friend who is now at Kent for grad school visited too for the occassion, which was AWESOME. It was really fun and felt like old times (read "last year") and it made me kind of sad to see everyone leave again. Nonetheless, it made for a fair Friday.

Saturday was really cool, despite me getting frustrated because I couldn't get anyone to go with me to see Piven perform at Arabica. I'm so glad I still went by myself, because SHE IS AWESOME! Everybody needs to see Marissa next time she plays - I was so shocked (not that I didn't suspect she was uber-talented, but I had never seen her play nor heard her sing before). And she was sick on top of it! Crazy! And I met her cool friend Al and we all went over to her house afterwards (it's deep in the woods off the main roads, so if anyone needs to hide a body, it may be the place to go). I saw her 80s record collection (bursting with Police and Culture Club - can't beat that combo) and we played Pop-Up Video Trivia or something. Good times were had.

And today was pretty darn fun, too. Me, sis, and Britters went and saw Elizabethtown, which secured Cameron Crowe's position as number two on my list of heroes (still taking a back seat to Charlie Kaufman, of course). Someone's gotta speak up for the odd, quirky, riddled-with-fear-of-failure, yet somehow still creative, young adult male. And after the movie we went to Bob Evans - mmmmm. Later, me, sis, Britters, John, Jackie, Snap, and Snap's boyfriend went to NIGHTMARE IN PAINESVILLE (insert spooky noises). It's now called something else, but it was still pretty fun, despite a crazy doctor who touched Jackie's nose (and, you know what, I suspect he's not really a doctor AT ALL, especially with that scary mask). And number of obscure Tony Danza references we managed to make between the seven of us:

NINETY-TWO!

So now I'm sad that I'm back to working insane hours, at least for the next two weekends. This weekend made me nostalgic for the days when I didn't need to have a job during the school year. I miss them. Sigh.
