The Weekend from hell?
It seems that most of my friends page has had a poor weekend. That's sad. I'm sorry, all. =(
In other news, I've officially watched Robin Hood: Men In Tights from beginning to end and eaten chocolate cake, so I think I'm ready to start on a post of boring and inane things.
HA! SUCKERS! YEAH, YOU WISH! BWHAAHAHAA!! *wipes away tear* I take pride in my evil prowess.
So my weekend was pretty short and uneventful, so I'll just give you the brief rundown.
-Left for Vermont after the book study; 2 hours in the back of my brother's van with the two nephews. I've found a new level in hell. It's a sub-level. I think I saw Martha Stewart walking around earlier.
-Had the best lunch EVER at some place my brother's accountant took us to. I want to remember the name, because YUM. Didn't know NH had good food. But I seemed to find it in a little college bar in Hanover with menus made from old record slip-covers. And they just so happen to serve THE best sourdough bread for free. Whoot.
-Went to an old mill where we saw handmade glass, said glass being blown, a potter (but he was finished for the day) and an Irish Weaver (who, much to my chagrin, was not Colin Farrel, nor remotely good-looking). Very cool. That water was loud, man. Very cool. And that furnace they used to heat the glass was bright, man. And the glass itself? Outrageously expensive. Anyone want to drop $75 on one martini glass?
-Passed a Scottish Pub(?) with a sign that said "EVERYTHING SCOTTISH!" Mom commented on this, to which I replied (while stroking my chin evilly, mind you), "Everything Scottish?!" And Sandy said "Maybe HE'S there!" I almost had my brother pull a u-y on the Interstate. (if you don't know who "HE" is, then you obviously don't know me very well)
-Stayed at a Best Western. Hadn't had water all day, so I had the Headache of Mordor. While nephews/dad/brother went to the pool, and mom/sandy went shopping for food, I laid on the bed and watched The Jeff Corwin Experience. BEST MEDICINE EVER. Dear lord how much do I love this man? LET ME COUNT THE WAYS! It was a re-run of the Australian adventure. Flying Foxes are so cute! And that guy he met that drove the "Koala Ambulance" or whatever, was so cute I wanted to pinch him. Right-o! Perrrfect! 'At's the way, 'At's the way! *dies of the cute*
Also: Jeff playing with a white wolf has officially been trumped by Jeff cuddling with a baby flying fox. I had a squee-niption and died. He is the sweetest man EVER. PEOPLE.
-Afterward I ate leftover pizza and other crap my mom/sister bought with the fam while watching King Of The Jungle. HAVE YOU HUGGED YOUR JEFF CORWIN YET TODAY??? A few jewels from him teasing the rookies:
"'Um right. Tigers. Well, they're furry. They have teeth. Okay that's a wrap let's go!'"
"'Well, I think I may have misjudged this animal, tigers are very ferocious. In fact, if you'll notice, I've lost my leg here...'" *camera pans down to reveal Jeff's leg missing and his pant cuff rolled all the way up*
Family was greatly amused. My love of the Corwin grows. I shall have to marry him after his wife has her unfortunate accident....
-Calvin spent the whole of last night barfing. Luckily we were in different rooms. Not so luckily, we had to cut the trip short. Yeah. 'Twas a bummer. We did get to go to a diner for brunch (I am obsessed with diners. Good food for cheap! You can't beat it!) though, where I got a hot turkey sandwich with gravy and mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. And really good coleslaw, too. That was enjoyable.
-Went to the "King Arthur Flour" shop. That was fun. I bought a chocolate dipped almond horn. Whooo. Also had fun perusing the candy/chocolate selection. "Napooolleeoooon!" Bryan was in his glory. Heh, my little chef in training. 10 years old and he already wants to be the next Emeril. Anyway, as I said, much fun ensued. Get a 19-yr old with her two nephews in a store full of various pastry ingredients and mass mayhem will ensue. "Naaploooleeooon!"
-Drove home. Didn't go to Science Museum, which sucked because that was the whole purpose of the trip. Stayed at J and Sand's for a while. Played Mario Cart (best game ever). Ate yummy pizza for dinner. Watched "The Quest For Camelot" which, coincidentally, I don't think I've ever seen before. 'Twas... interesting. AND! after that guy's, Garrett I think he was, first line (which I believe was "Hey, that's MY net!") I said "Dude, that's Carey Elwes." And lo and behold, twas Carey Elwes. I'm rather impressed, and subsequently frightened, that I knew this. But then again I do have a weird obsession with Carey Elwes, and always have ever since I was a wee child. Don't know why. The guy just radiates cool. Even in animated form.
[Edit: I forgot to mention that the main theme for this movie was a weird rendering of a Josh Groban song... or perhaps the Josh Groban song was a weird rendering of this song? I don't know. All I know is Celine Dion starts singing a song that sounds STRANGELY like "Let This be Our Prayer" near the beginning of the movie.]
So there you have it. Exciting, no? lol. Oh well, it's just as well. I've been trying hard not to spend so much time around J/Sands/the boys, so it's probably for the best that the day was cut short. They make me feel not-so-good about myself, and I always have other things (ie: myself) to do that for me, so I don't need the extra negative energy. I discovered it was slowly killing me, and I had to get away from it. And since I have I've felt a lot more human. A LOT more human.
But anyways. We came home, we watched The King of Queens, we played on-line, and lastly we continued the Carey Elwes trend by watching Men In Tights (which is the best movie ever, I swear to you). Then we ate cake. And leftover sourdough bread. ... and a milkshake. rotfl, NOT ALL AT THE SAME TIME! GEEZE! But anyways. That's my day!
In other news,
-DUDE, Johnny Depp is the new People's Sexiest Man Alive?? 'BOUT DANG TIME!
-I have decided I HAVE to have This RotK Poster. Wow with the pretty. This is possibly the ONLY RotK poster I have not seen before, and I want to know how the heck I missed it.
-Snippet from a LOTR fic that cracks me up hardcore. "Arwen seems to be thinking one step ahead of us, so that means we'll have to change our strategy. We need to think one step ahead of her, which means two steps ahead of us. So we have to plan our next two ideas completely and then skip to the last one." *DIES OF LAUGHTER* Pippin my love!
-The best Carey Elwes quote ever? "Good people, lend me your ears! (gets pelted with ears) ... That's. Dis. GUSTING."
-"First things first. I have officially won the prize for stupidest injury of the year. Yesterday? I cut myself with a plastic bag. Go me!"--![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tis_true, which led to this conversation:
bria: HOW do you cut yourself with A PLASTIC BAG?!?!?!?
bria: I mean it's easy to figure out how to get stapped by spoon hanging off your nose - It falls off! - But a PLASTIC bag?
me: Yeah, she's incredibly brilliant for her age.
bria: HOW
bria: it takes a ...special person to be injured from hanging a spoon from one's nose. However, it takes a specialer person to be cut from a plastic bag
me: rotfl
me: she's specialer.
Wow. I have incredibly beautiful parents. .... Hey, what happened?! I hit a wrong turn in the gene pool!
And trying "LordofLorien" in that thing causes bad results to happen. *shudders*
