And for the obligatory here-was-my-weekend post:

[missroserose]

Did manage to make things up somewhat with eventhewaves. We're still not really talking (seems kind of pointless when we don't have a whole lot to talk about), but at least there aren't any bad feelings on either side. And I was able to find a good home for my Red Dwarf DVDs, as I only rarely watched them.

Meantime, I did manage to put together that English paper. Four pages (the minimum requirement) on the nose. I probably could have added in some more stuff but at this point I'm fed up enough with school that I'm not really interested in taking the extra effort. If it had been a subject I was more interested in, then possibly.

Speaking of school...there's almost exactly one month left of the semester. How the hell did that happen? Given that I've got the performance of our play in the middle of the month, a poetry poster-type-thing in the latter half, finals at the beginning of next month and hopefully a job to find somewhere in there, it's likely to be a busy month. Better start dropping my résumé off at a few places...

Brian and I went to see Sin City on Friday night. I'm guessing that it'll win Best Adapted Screenplay - I took a look through a few of the comic books and it's a nearly word-for-word and camera angle-for-camera angle adaptation. The art direction and visual effects were also fabulous, but I think the movie's greatest achievement was that even though it was an out-and-out sex-and-gore fest, and even though it was a great display of some of the worst in humanity, it still manages to make you care about the characters. This was the movie Underworld was trying so hard to be and failed so abysmally at.

All that being said, I wouldn't watch it again.

The drive back home was interesting, too. Originally Brian and I had been planning to go to Doc Water's (awesome little local pub) for drinks and maybe a burger afterward, but when we got out it was snowing so hard that I figured we should get home quickly. I'm very glad I was stone-cold sober that night - it was practically blizzarding all the way home, and the stretches of Egan Drive that aren't lit had horrible visibility. And yet the next morning it was pretty nice and the roads were almost dry. I guess the weather was playing an April Fool's joke, too...

Past that, the weekend was pretty boring - I went to rehearsal, wrote the paper, and spent most of the rest of the time relaxing. (I am very much looking forward to not having to worry about homework over the weekends this summer.) Brian and I experimented a bit with mixing drinks, and he actually managed to make a very pretty tequila sunrise...though taste-wise, it was a bit heavy on the grenadine. Should've gotten a picture before he stirred it up.

Almost forgot - I took Marian in for an oil change and had the mechanics look it over for the cause of that intermittent burning smell. They basically gave her a clean bill of health; there apparently aren't any worn belts or leaking fluids. It's possible that something just might've spilled, I suppose. Anyway, it's a bit of a load off my mind to know that she's doing well.

Am feeling kind of tired for some reason...I think I may have drunk a bit too much caffeine over the weekend and gotten used to it. *yawn*

And off I go into the great beyond...of rehearsal. Bah.

Yeah, Friday was some *great* driving weather. Yay on the rest. Even the rehearsal.

Well, it's good in the sense that we sure as hell need a lot of practice before we open next Thursday. But if it ends up being 4-5 hours a night all week, I'm going to be pretty sick of it in a couple of days...
