Hello there,
Another Monday finds me slack-jawed, tired, bereft of ambition, despairing of the hope that I might ever better myself. Lists are the refuge of the hopeless:
THINGS I DID THIS WEEKEND
-Hosted a barbeque for co-workers
-Thought "What was I thinking?" at least twenty-seven times
-Washed the laundry that time forgot
-Figured out a way to close the closet door
-Cleaned a century of dirt off the top of the fridge
-Increased the profits of the Boca Burger corporation by 25%
-Wore the ladybug dress
-Discovered that twenty people can, too, fit in the house
-Bought beer, drank beer, broke even thanks to party guests leaving beer behind
THINGS I "DID NOT DO" THIS WEEKEND
-Ate pie for breakfast
-Went two days without putting on socks
-Ate brownies for lunch
-Watched Space Truckers
-Tied dandelion stems together with fishing wire (don't ask)
THINGS I DID NOT DO THIS WEEKEND
-Writing
-Bill paying
-Yogaing
-Running
-Going to bed on time
-Reality TV avoiding
-Responsible citizen being
Well as long as
-Three pairs of sandals buying in one trip when you're trying to save money and have to move them and everything else you own halfway across the world
is not on your Things I "Did Not Do" list, you're doing better than I.
Posted by: EV at June 24, 2003 04:38 AMhey, space truckers was on here in amsterdam like 2 weeks ago. i must admit i watched it, sectionally, several times as there were periods in the day during which it was the only english-language program on tv. international cable conspiracy, do you think?
Posted by: tree at June 24, 2003 04:40 AMI am afraid it's worse than that - you see, I actually voluntarily put a tape of the film into my VCR, pushed play, and did not even think once about pushing stop at any point (not even the point where I realized that my onetime crush on Debi Mazar had been all but destroyed by watching her in this).
In my defense, though, I'm not the tape's owner. You'll have to talk to Josh about that.
Posted by: Hilatron at June 24, 2003 06:47 AMMy husband just got back from a bachelor party in Amsterdam last night. Maybe he took your picture, he took pictures of lots of girls.
Posted by: EV at June 24, 2003 10:34 AMjosh bought space truckers because space truckers is cool but the movie isn't.
if you take pictures of the girls in red light, big tough men and also the cops come and take your film.
Posted by: tree at June 24, 2003 11:59 AMFeeling out of it, I just googled "Space Truckers." Oh my - that does look exciting.
Posted by: Agent Courtney at June 24, 2003 03:08 PMNo, my husband just took pictures of regular girls. Like, girls sitting at cafes and girls tying their boats up in the canal. Perhaps that's more worrisome than trying to take pictures of the girls in red light, which at least would have been a touristy thing to do.
Posted by: EV at June 25, 2003 03:57 AMWorrisome to the girls getting their pictures taken, at any rate. Were the girls in Amsterdam (besides tree, who we already know is the epitome of charm) particularly cute, or is this something your husband does everywhere?
Posted by: Hilatron at June 25, 2003 07:34 AMdutch ladies run roughly twice my size. a lot of them look like drag queens. but what girl doesn't look pretty on a springtime canal with cobbles and baby ducks everywhere?
Posted by: tree at June 25, 2003 08:33 AMActually, they were just cute, young girls. He doesn't usually do that. I guess he was in a mood. And stoned.
Posted by: EV at June 25, 2003 10:20 AMWhen our Dutch-by-extraction friend Sammie went to Amsterdam she was delighted to discover that all the women were "tall, round-faced, dry and funny" - exactly like her!
"The land of my people!" quoth she.
