- What's up my homies? I'm back from a pretty cool weekend. Let's see what happened on Friday? Well I still felt like crap yet somewhat better, so I went with Davina that evening to see Vera Wilde at the Ashby Playhouse in Berkeley. She got free tickets, and it was interesting. Okay to be honest I found most of it boring, but I understood it. A good percentage of my friends have no interest in European politics of the late 19th- early 20th Century, nor would they be able to follow the confusing time line. Most of the audience were the intellectual types that would shell out $30 or more to watch people in tights discuss the Russian Revolution and the sexual preferences of Oscar Wilde. Myself and Davina (who spent most of the 2 hours nodding off), not so much. If you're into this type of thing or are an insomniac who wants to get a good snooze in public, then go for it.
- Saturday morning I worked in San Francisco as usual, then off to Lodi to hang with Kimmie since it was her birthday weekend. As our usual weekends together go, we spent the majority of our time watching random movies and talking over them, eating crap we probably should not be eating, and staying up way too late. Oh and she opened her presents from me right off the bat. She received a "One Up!" t-shirt (Super Mario Bros reference), the Back To The Future Trilogy and 12:01 starring one of her favorite actresses Helen Slater. So the first movie she tortured me with was 12:01. Jonathan Silverman was cute, and this just seemed like a cheesy sci-fi version of Groundhog Day. Only no Bill Murray anywhere. Next movie was Hiding Out starring the ever so cute Jon Cryer and Keith Coogan. Not a very original plot, typical 80s average high school I so wish I attended. Did you know Cryer's mom actually played the part of his aunt? Cool. Now I have Pretty Poison's "Catch Me I'm Falling" in my head again. That's my jam. It was Kimmie's turn to pick a movie again, and I had the fortune of finally viewing The Shining. The only thing scary about this movie was Shelley Duvall's wardrobe. Wow. Jack Nicolson was frightening too, but when is he not scary in some way? Okay he was awesome as The Joker in the first Batman and that's one of my favorite flicks but come on now. It was already way late when I decided to throw on one more movie before going to bed, and our 80stastic weekends wouldn't be complete without at least one Judge Reinhold movie. It was time for Roadhouse 66. They had some pretty interesting sex scenes going on. Not like I'm a big perv or anything but that was like "WOW". Very graphic. William Defoe was kinda hot in that greaser kinda way. Is it me or does he resemble a mountain lion? It's those teeth, he has fangs, those giant incisors. I think he did the voice of Mufasa in The Lion King, maybe I'm mistaken. I have prominent incisors too, I hope most of you find I look like a friendly member of the feline family. Not like that has anything to do with William Defoe, I'm just throwing that out there. After this we finally went to bed, well I tried. It was around 5am.
- I'm going to tell you right off the bat I did not get enough sleep on Sunday morning. It took a LONG TIME to fall asleep (probably too much caffeine/sugar in my system), and when I woke up Kimmie was on the phone. When I woke up hours later she was still on the phone. I'm not mad at her, her apartment is small so she can't help it. I was also PMSing something serious and still getting over the stupid cold I had. So I woke up VERY BITCHY. Poor Kimmie. Her sister (we call her Mulletene) and niece Joyce came over to wish her a happy birthday, then we got back to our movie viewing. We started watching The Sixth Sense and the pizza came, but we almost didn't get it. They told me over the phone that they take cash and checks, so I wrote a check out for the dude. Well I'm from "out of town" so they had to call the manager and approve it, and I had to show the driver like 3 forms of I.D. It was nuts. Anyway getting back to the movie, it was pretty good. I've seen it before, and Haley Joel Osment's performance was remarkable. Bruce Willis was kinda creepy but he kinda resembles my boss so there's a reason right there. Then Kimmie and I had a long drawn out discussion about Demi Moore's choice in men and why Aston Kutcher is so annoying. It was fun. After this I put in a lovely number called Hard Promises starring William Petersen (Grissom from CSI) and Sissy Spacek. Oh yeah, and Mare Winningham. Early 90s cheese. It was a cute story and a few of the characters reminded me of folks from my own life. Petersen seemed to show off his butt a little too much in those jeans, and I found that a little disturbing. Well back when he had a butt, I guess. You'd never know if you watched CSI. Oh wow now people think I'm totally after Grissom's ass. This is going nowhere. We watched one more movie, and it was Kimmie's turn. One of Sissy Spacek's better movies, Carrie. How can anyone say that movie is scary whatsoever? Okay so at the end William Katt (Greatest American Hero) gets hit over the head with the blood bucket and dies, then the rest die brutally in a fire.. then she goes home and her crazyass mom is stabbed with like 5 knives then the house catches on fire and falls on them both. I must mention John Travolta was hot, and I don't really get why PJ Soles had that red hat on the whole time, even at the salon. By this time it was 9pm, and I made Kimmie watch Easy Money with me. The show is pretty good. I started watching weeks ago since I'm a Judge Reinhold fan (although he was credited last week and I guess his scenes were cut) and although he has a small part I enjoy the storyline. Plus the guy that plays Morgan is very hot. By this time I was way late for work and left, promptly getting stuck in Tracy amidst a buttload of construction. Eventually I got to work, here I am.
- This week is the same old routine, for the most part. Lots of work, sleep, etc. Oh and they are finally doing work on my new room. The old carpeting got ripped out and there's fresh paint on the walls. Very pretty aqua I picked out a loooooooooooong time ago. I should be in there within weeks. Yes!!
