Uh oh, I have some catching up to do... where did I leave off? Thursday? sheesh.
I know at the end of my post I said I was going to bed... but I stayed up late Thursday night watching a prison movie - I love those and shows like OZ on HBO - the nitty gritty stuff. It's scary the pain that humans are willing to inflict on each other, but I like to keep my eyes open to it. This movie was about a woman's prison, and I turned on the tv to the scene where the warden was raping a prisoner, causing her to have a miscarriage and die. So of course I had to watch the rest of the movie to see if that rat bastard was caught and punished in the worst way. In the end, the prison chicks got ahold of a guard's gun and shot the warden. Chick power!
So the movie ended at 5am, and I had to have a deep discussion with Finlay (Jeremy's cat) about justice and rehabilitation. Finlay's a good listener. I drifted off to sleep about 15 minutes later, and what a miracle, was able to wake up at 7:30... Class that morning was torture, of course.
I had my car towed to a honda dealership on Friday afternoon and the only good thing I have to say about that is the tow truck driver was cute. :) AND I got to ride in his big truck. :)
Over the weekend, I did a few fun things - saw a German movie called "Love in Thought," ate at the famous Ben's Chili Bowl, hit a couple of bars, and did homework in a churchyard. All with fun conversations and great company (JJ, who the hell is Mark McKay again??). :) Saturday in Adams Morgan - finally, we hit a bar IN our neighborhood - was especially fun catching up with an old crush/friend, Shaun.
Jeremy did watch over me on Saturday nite - I had a horrible reaction to something I drank at the bar, but I was able to sleep it off well enough. Be careful, people!!
The week is here again but today was not too painful for a Monday - except the group meeting this afternoon. For our Family Therapy class, my classmates and I have to do a group project with all 10 of us. Oy. Talk about butting heads. I, of course, was calm and maintained my typical "blank effect." (Thanks Jenny ;))
Got bad news after class that my little Honda is about to bite the dust. So, I will be donating her to Goodwill for parts and remembering her fondly.
Hmm, why don't I end this appropriately with a car memory? Gosh, so many to choose from.... but I'll never forget the time Jazzy, Amie and I took a road trip to Montreal a couple of summers ago. On our way to Auntie Candyce's condo, I was completely confused by something Amie was saying and was looking to her for clarification... then I drove the car into the curb and the tire promptly flattened itself. Shiiit. We managed to make it into the condo complex, and a hot French shirtless knight in shining armor yelled down from his balcony and came to help - he asked if I had a spare and I was like, um no. He pops the trunk, looks under its bed, and what does he find? *sheepish smile* a spare tire! tee hee. Merci beaucoup, hot french guy.
