this weekend was excellent. yes.

thursday

i came home from tutoring (nobody showed up, bastards), and liz and i ordered pizza (normally, we do that on friday, but this was a special weekend). we watched Halloween also, as we weren’t going to be in town on the 31st. it was, of course, excellent, as it always is. after the movie, we watched Guns, God, and Government (the marilyn manson music-video-thing), to get psyched for the show the next day. it’s pretty rad. after that, we started Halloween II but went to sleep before it was over.

friday morning

i went to school, and the prof. cut my class short…i skipped the afternoon class because we had to go to the airport and catch our flight to dallas. we had no problem getting there on time, so we ate lunch at the airport. while we were eating, they called for our flight to board. thus, we ended up not getting to sit together on the plane since it was full (we were both in middle seats; i was directly behind her). when we got to dallas, seth was waiting for us right outside the gate. being the swell guy that he is, he let me borrow his cellphone, so i could call him for a ride after the concert. he took us to the show; we got there right before the doors opened, so we stood in line for a bit.

the marilyn manson show

‘twas a good show, but that’s another post…aww yeah.

after the show, seth’s sister trish and her husband jason picked us up, as they happened to be around that part of dallas at that time. they took us to seth’s house for

The Chach-House Halloween Party

man, that’s a nice house. it’s a pity they’re all moving. the party was fun, though we were tired. drank lots of killian’s, aww yeah. talked to larry and trish and others, mostly, but also talked to seth and tara. a good time was had by all, i think. seth and tara were uber nice, and let us (liz and i) take over their room for the night. comfy-ness, as we’d expected to sleep on the floor.

saturday

woke up, cleaned up, went with seth, tara, her brother, and liz to see Bubba Hotep. awesome, awesome movie, but again that’s for another post. after the movie we ate lunch at a nearby irish/british pub/grill/thing…pretty good, aww yeah. got to talk to seth and tara some more, which was cool. after that, we went to the airport, after a quick detour to the virgin megastore.

on the flight home, the plane was about half empty, so liz and i got to sit together…we did a crossword puzzle, finishing it right before landing. neat.

from there, it was to the mall so liz could complete her halloween costume with a purchase at hot topic and a purchase at the dollar store. of course, we also looked at the puppies. we stopped for chinese food on the way home, then ate it as we finished watching Halloween II.

after dinner/movie, we got dressed in our costumes (i was a priest, liz was a devil/catholic schoolgirl) and headed over to mick’s party. had a good time, saw noel and stephanie and fastmikey, ass well as lots of other folks, many of whom i don’t know. there was one guy that was dressed as a blind guy (okay, he was just wearing regular clothes with sunglasses and a bling-guy-cane; you know, the ones that fold up). he said that he and his brother use it to preboard on planeflights. heh.

after a bit, we headed home, then went to bed.

sunday

yesterday, we slept late (until around 2pm), and didn’t do much all day. watched some TV, did laundry. i went to the store to get salad for dinner, and i ran into a friend of my parents…her sons are around my age, so my brother and i grew up with them. anyway, it was nice to see her, she seems to be doing well. her husband died of leukemia about two years ago, and she’s now engaged (to a guy who’s wife also died of leukemia) and she seems really happy. good for her, i say. her oldest son and his wife are also expecting a baby, and her youngest son is also engaged. 2004 will be a busy year for that family, i think. anyway, we talked a bit and tentatively made plans for her and her fiance and her sons and their significant others to get together with my parents and my brother and sister in law and liz and i sometime around christmas…very tentative, but it’d be fun. i don’t see those guys very often, but we used to hang out all the time when we were younger and in boy scouts and whatnot. yeah.

after that, i went home and liz and i ate dinner. yummy rotini. during dinner, we watched The Simpsons “Treehouse of Horror XIV.” part 14? fuck, that’s a lot of halloweens.

anyway, after dinner, we started watching Brazil, but got tired and went to bed.

today so far

haven’t done a damn thing. played online for a bit, dropped off the rent, e-mailed some people about thesis-stuff, and now i’m writing this. yes.

expect more entries (about the manson show and the awesome film we saw in dallas) soon.
