this weekend was very busy and good, which explains the lack of updates. translated- i only do this thing to keep me busy when i have nothing better to do. oh, don't cry journal- i didn't mean it. anywho- friday mike took me out for fish and chips with his friend johnny. johnny is a nice guy. he is funny and all that. he used to be mike's writing partner- they went to college together but don't see each other very often. he has pretty eye lashes. he has a girlfriend of 4 years that he lives with but i have never met because they dont seem to go out together much. and the last time i saw him he was making moves on a male friend of his. he is skinny and knows about soccer. then we came home and watched some mr. show and went to bed earlyish. saturday was eric's birthday so we went shopping for that. and went bed shopping. and ran errands all day. mike ended up buying a bed while shopping because it was just too good to pass up. it is SUPER comfortable and was on a sale that ended yesterday. it was just toooooo good. he is a very indecisive shopper and takes about 50 bajillion hours to buy simple things. but lately he has been buying things when he likes them and not shopping around and stressing about them. and every decision has paid off. i think he is on a roll! the bed arrives wednesday and we have until then to sell his futon. any takers? didn't think so. then we went to dinner at benihanna (spelling?) the kind of japanese steakhouse where they cook on a grill in front of you and do spatula tricks. i use the word "japanese" very loosely. it is really just americanese food. but it was still fun and surprisingly tasty. it was fun watching mike's dad get annoyed at the restaurant. and i was sitting next to him so we talked a lot and made fun of people. dr. phil would call that "bonding". then we had cake at the parent's apartment and eric got a buttload of good gifts. he made out like a bandit. and the mom had presents for me and sharon as our birthdays are this week. she got us matching fancy old lady wallets. i just bought a powerpuff girls wallet. but i feel bad exchanging it since i did that to the sweater she gave me for christmas as well. but mike did too- which rocked. and he exchanged mine and got me a nice nightgown thing with flowers. maybe i will exchange the wallet for something for the house. then i would feel less guilty. then we booked it downtown to my friend's "leaving new york" party. we had a very annoying train ride with a loud mouthed lady who seemed to be related to 90% of the people on the train who thought she was just too hilarious and egged her loud mouth on. i was more than a little happy when they got screwed on their transfer later. i am mean. spent about 45 minutes in a weird bar- told morwenna bye- have fun- cliches. went to a liquor store and got booze to take to the next party we went to. mike's friend just got married and didn't really have a wedding (just a 6 person ceremony or something) so this party was for all the friends. i surprisingly knew a lot of people there. and there was good food. like delicious guacamole! how did i get so fat? oh right, i remember. it is a friend that mike only ever has lunch with so i was beginning to think that she did not exist. it was weird meeting her. at first i found her really annoying. more annoying than other preforming types that i don't like. but i think she was a little tipsy and uncomfortable about all the poeple around. that she thought she had to be "on" the whole time. when it slowed down and we were just talking i liked her a lot more. i got the feeling that she did not like me- or was sizing me up some how. i was probably doing the same to her. since we have heard a lot about one another but never met face to face in 2 years- it's bound to happen. then we went home around 3 am or 330. fell asleep watching the encore presentation of snl. sunday mike went and played tennis with me (after we slept until 130 in the afternoon). it was fun. he was more into trying to juggle the tennis raquet and do a dance whenenever i mishit. it was super hot and after a while i thought i was gonna throw up. but we kept on. then i asked this guy who was good if he wanted to play for the remaining 5 minutes that i was there (he was waiting for someone) and after that i REALLY thought i was going to throw up. heat stroke? maybe so. i almost got that once at an air show in kansas city. there were all the cooled tents with water and beds for people since it was so hot and in the blazing sun. now i think i am just weak. then we went for awesome fantastical burgers somewhere that i had never been before. and i had tasty onion rings that were tasty. did i mention that they tasted good? did i mention that i have gained weight lately? its still a mystery to me how it could have happened........ and to top it all off mike took me to see minority report. it was good. not awesome. just entertaining and somewhat watered down. and it was supposed to start at 10 but we were not even seated until then and the movie did not start until 1030 after some truly bad previews (including "swimfan" which had people laughing out loud). be we saw it. and at 200 am we were in bed. we truly ran the gauntlet this weekend. being so social shocked my system. tonight! calvin johnson and tender trap at 830. will the fun ever stop???
