… canceled movie plans Saturday night because there was nothing that I needed to see badly enough that I would go down into a New York City subway tunnel, wait for a train, and sweat. Instead, I stayed home and Hulu’d seven episodes of Vanished, the "Smoking" (below) and "Rat Funeral" episodes of NewsRadio, and the pilot of Remington Steele.
You?
…I bowled three games on Saturday with my family and then, to stay in anywhere that was air conditioned, we walked over to the movies and I almost saw by myself “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” because my family wanted to watch “Indiana Jones” and I’d already seen it and wasn’t too excited about sitting through a mediocre flick again (I ended up seeing Indy again anyway, because Saturday was family time).
stayed home in the AC and watched “batman begins” in anticipation of “The Dark Knight” and also got about 1/2 way through the first season of “30 Rock” on DVD.
spent the entire day on Sunday soaking up some AC and watching clips of old Kids in the Hall sketches on YouTube.
My housemate and I stayed inside under the ceiling fan and drank frozen liquor drinks, ate chips, and played Wii games all weekend. And everytime someone called and tried to lure us out into the South Carolina swelter, we invited them over to drink, eat, and play, too.
So now I have a headache, a vitamin deficiency, and a sore right arm – but it was worth it; we had a great time.
Went out and bought a Wii so my kids could play “tennis” inside rather than collapse from heat stroke outside.
I was a nice daughter and spent all day outside at a vintage car show in Connecticut. Soaked myself in sunscreen, stayed in the shade all day, still got sunburned. Then I about died when a Tennessee-sized thunderstorm blew through, and the tent I was standing under almost blew away. Fun times.
P.S. In the AC, of course. And they still worked up a sweat!
…shaved my son’s head (at his request), made lemonade, tied a gel pack to my forehead, watched “30 Days of Night,” and complained about “30 Days of Night.”
portland, or…summer hasn’t started yet. we encouraged the kids to play wii to stay warm. otherwise, we’d have to turn the heat on and in near mid-June, that’s just plain wrong.
Lounged on my couch in the AC and watched eight episodes of Army Wives.
Stealing a tip from Popwatch, I started re-watching episodes of Standoff on Hulu….highly underrated show that should have succeeded, and would have been great permanently matched up with Bones on Fox.
Slept nekkid with my guy, cooked breakfast in our boxers and went to see One Republic in concert.
…was basically comatose for 39 of the 48-hour weekend. It was sweltering, humid and it stormed terribly for the entire weekend. I scraped all my plans, which included a trip to our city’s Pridefest, and slept, wrote and made ravioli from scratch.
…settled in to watch three Netfilx-delivered DVD’s of Season 1 of “Bones” only to have my plans thwarted by a damaged first disc thereby rendering it impossible to play any episode featured on it. After venting my initial frustration, I combed through my own DVD collection and enjoyed random episodes of Doctor Who, Jeeves & Wooster, Animaniacs, and The Office along with viewings of weekend favorites such as Amelie, Stardust, and Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World. Somewhere in between all of that I did manage to run a few errands and do some chores around the house, but mostly I remained in my pj’s and kept my DVD player running just as hard as my A/C. Oh and my friend and I rediscovered just how much fun playing Scrabble really can be. Yes, we are dorks.
Took advantage of my first non-work, non-travel weekend in a while to finally go see Sex and the City, Indiana Jones, and Iron Man in the wondrous comfort of the A/C-equipped theaters. And wasted a lot of time in two different bookstores just browsing.
