Science Fiction Double Feature...and Pitchers!!
I'm having hockey withdrawls. *twitch*. Oh well. Yesterday was a blessing of a day- a wonderful, fabulous, amazing, spectacular, breathtaking kind of day. The sun shone all day and the breeze stayed light and high, such that I stretched out on a park bench for two hours and napped in the sun, completely happy with everything. It was wonderful. It helped me refocus myself too, to remind myself of why I'm here and how very lucky I am.
It was also Rocky Horror Picture Show night at Frankensteins. heheheh, so of course, we had to go. We had a couple virgins on our hands too!! Alas, they did not have a floorshow (lesigh) but they had an amazing cast up on the bar singing periodically, and it was fun to get dressed up and have a good time. Pitchers were 241, which makes my pocket book happy. We had two slight mishaps though... we had one that looked like Smurf's blood, which was disgusting and shall never touch my lips again. The other time, the bartender made the wrong drink, and wanted to know why we refused it. Because, buddy, its vodka and redbull mixed together. That's not even legal in the states, and I have this thing against dying. Go figure. Sheesh. But we had a fabulous time, and I posted the pics tonight.
Anyway, it was a great time, and helped me exorcise some demons left (namely those what portrayed Brad in the Denver floorshow...it helps me now to see that he never really fell out of character, and thus was truly creepy and I did good in walking away.) And I can time warp now, whoohoo! But I will have to wear a different shirt next time.
There were some really amazingly dressed up people, who are really badass dancers. Maybe its because we don't learn any "traditional" dancing at home, but I think its really cool that everyone here can do the basic Scottish dances, and do them well. Its fascinating to watch too! I took lots of pictures of that, because I was so enthralled.
Today was a mostly good day too. I thought I was going to die of boredom in politics this morning...and I really mean that. I thought all my brains were going to dissolve and leak out my eyes and ears and nose and I would collapse into a grey mushy puddle. No commas, take THAT, Wex! Resuming story- I really like Prof Maxwell, great guy, but man can that man repeat himself over and over and over and over and over...............and over.
I decided I'm going to get all of my essays, with the possible exception of my Archaeology essay, done this weekend. I want time to submit them and have the Profs read them before marking, since they are Mark Nazis over here. They keep saying it doesnt matter, and that a C is a really good mark in the british scale....psht, like I care. I will get As, watch me! ooops, there I go, being hostile again. I need to put this blue body paint away, I'm really getting into the Pictish Warrior bit a little too much.
Righto, I suppose I've slacked off enough for now. I'll update more tonight if I get really bored.
