Too Tired To Title Today...

I’m still sort of too sleepy to blog today, but since I skipped yesterday and it’s Friday, I thought y'all need a little update. The sleepiness is due to two late nights in a row, which never fare well with a 7 am wake up call. Wednesday night was Gilmore Girls night with my mom. We measured the test square I knitted for a scarf, and I made the appropriate graph paper for the design. Now I know how to pearl! Maybe I’ll try a sweater if all goes well with the scarf….I don’t usually watch such cutesy tv shows, but GG is really fun! It’s really all my mom’s fault – she coerced me into watching it and I’ve been hooked ever since! It’s always slightly disconcerting when two characters FINALLY get together (after years of deliberation), because that’s when the show usually gets boring beyond words and the writers run out of ways to create tension. Luckily GG has plenty of weird & wacky characters and fantastic writers (Rebecca Rand Kirshner & Jane Espenson, former Buffy-ites.)

After the show I rushed back to Greektown to meet the 3QFers, Steve and the wacky birthday girl Birigitte for dinner. (I actually just drank tea because my mom filled me up with some fabulous homemade soup, therefore further perpetuating the notion that I don’t eat.) The highlights of the evening were Birigitte’s ability to keep me giggling (and Steve shaking his head), and the prospect of a horror-a-thon. Thanks to mutual love of the genre, I foresee an evening in the near future of refreshingly revolting slasher flicks with Birigette and Co.!

Last night I attended the (Second Annual) One Minute Film & Video Festival orchestrated by Meredith, Amy and roomie-Matt. The place was packed to the ceiling! My favourite’s (not including my buddies Chris, Matt or Daniel, cause well, we all know their films were the best, not that I’m biased or anything…) Ratta-Tooi, Never the First, Sex & Cecile, Time Flies and My First Digital Camera (but only the 1st time it played, when the digital disturbances appeared intentional – no offence to the filmmaker!) Generally I was unimpressed (too critical I guess), but the audience obviously enjoyed themselves, so I’d say it was a great success!

(Addendum: Ditching the after party and opting for anti-social falafels instead, Chris, Steve and I had a yak session. Steve and I agreed to forcedly ensure that we both make minute movies next year. So once I get a new computer, I will have no excuses! Now that it's in writing, y'all better hold me to it!)

Now I’m looking forward to a weekend of sleeping, sleeping and more sleeping, french toast, some troublemaking with Mariana, my new Robbie Williams DVD, some tv catch-up, and maybe, just maybe an X-box showdown!
