weekend update
dear friends,
it is not actually a long weekend, but it feels like too long since i have really had one. perhaps i am just feeling deprived because americans do not celebrate august's civic holiday.
thursday went to this bloc party show at the stone pony in asbury park. interesting happenings:
- because my companion was a sicky and i am getting old we sat at a picnic table that was in the concentric circle behind the circle containing parents. this show really was all ages. very unusual crowd-- jersey teenagers, average show-goers who took the train in from nyc, and a seemingly large number of people with full tatoo sleeves wearing dock shoes (is this a new thing, or an always the case thing?)
- had purse checked at door (normal), had advil bottle opened and inspected,presumably on the assumption i was taking/selling e (it's been a while)
- no one checked my id or gave me a wristband. purchased corona. security then demanded i get a wristband (fine) and demanded chris get a wristband even though he was not drinking (ok, i guess), and over an hour later came back to ask me who sold me the booze (totally remembered, but i am not going to be responsible for someone losing her job)
- ladie's room had bathroom attendendant. toss up: trying to be classy, trying to ensure no one over does the blow?
- i liked mew (the opener). bloc party played all of my favourite songs (like eating glass, this modern love) before the electical storm-- what more could a girl want?
friday- because summer concert companion (not to be confused with best show friend, who had ben lee wish her a happy bday in chicago on friday) was still sickly we decided to skip out on the silver mt. zion show (no big loss to me). we did still go into nyc. because i am a good friend, i helped former fake husband pick out something at lush for new girlfriend who returns from ireland later this week. would not have gone in exclusively to do this, was lured with trip to soundfix records, where (unlike blasted princeton record exchange) things are all in alphabetical order. bid adieu to the boys (chris met a friend visiting from chattavegas in the city) in true scary mom fashion by giving them two contingency stella (in case liquour store was closed) and a jar of vics vapor rub (for sicky). settled into season 1 of grey's anatomy, whole foods pizza, and sleep by 10.
saturday- there was definitive sleeping in, some watching of grey's anatomy and gilmore girls, some obsessive cleaning, some making of stuffed peppers (far far too many, and possibly enjoyable to me simply as a vehicle for eating more feta cheese), went to see "john tucker must die" with friend alex. then it was home for more stuffed peppers and more grey's anatomy.
and now it's sunday, and i am attempting virtue-- working on some data consulting (hopefully the last of it) and looking forward to a little bbq in the trailer park.
and that's the diary of my weekend (enthralling, i am sure).
