last night, p. took me to umass to see cirque de soleil- quidam. what a crazy show... the costumes, performers, makeup... all of it was awesome. p. thought it was more on the weird side... to which i responded "... you're just broadening your cultural horizons..." which is so true seeing that most of the time, the only "culture" he gets is from a tool or korn (incorrectly spelled which makes it even worse) concert. anyway. it was a great birthday present and since we probably won't make it to vegas or even to disney anytime soon... it was an awesome show and i'm very glad i saw it... (thanks p. i love you!)
so i started watching the show 'whitney'... now, we all know i don't need any other shows to watch but sometimes it's nice to watch new stuff just for the heck of it. so i started watching... and it's actually pretty funny... too bad it's on Thursday's. (that's grey's night, sorry kids). but the funniest part was when Whitney said "I feel like all we ever do is go to weddings. I can't remember the last time I sat down for dinner that didn't involve a DJ screaming 'let's get this party started'. " hahahah. if you know me, at all, you know that is the story of my life. not that i don't like going to weddings and i am happy for all of my friends and their nuptuals but... that seriously is my life. we have been to so many weddings that when we get an invitation now, i just laugh. and depending on who the wedding is for, that uses up anywhere from 2-4 weekends for the wedding and related festivities. showers. jack and jills. engagement parties. bachelorette parties. and the wedding itself. so if someone were to have all of those things, that's 5 different weekends for 1 wedding. there are 52 weekends in a year and in the year 2011, i already know where at least 7 of my weekends will be spent.. 7... which doesn't seem like a lot in comparison to the 52 that comprise the year, but it's not even january yet and i know where i'm going to be for weekends in june and august. what i do think is funny is that when i get a call to "book a weekend" because a friend is getting married. it's a running joke with my wsc friends if p. and i can't be somewhere we "have a wedding" or "something for a wedding"... and usually, that's the truth. and while i have missed out on some of the wsc vacation weekends, i have had some great times at the weddings, so that makes up for it. we are wedding free for the rest of 2011 with the exception of an engagement party in a few weeks for one of p's friends. which i'm excited for becuase i have never met the groom, let alone the bride and it will be nice to meet them both before their wedding. and i'm looking forward to their wedding because the hotel looks amazing, isn't too expensive considering and will give us a nice weekend away.
i can't believe it's october already... this year has flown by... this time last year, we were packing up our apartment in milford and getting ready for the big move. sometimes i miss being out in milford- but i definately don't miss the apartment, "harry man back" (as we called our upstairs neighbor) or the stomping from the other neighbors. i don't miss the police showing up, or our cars being broken into. (bullshit). i don't miss the lock on the door not working with the keys and i don't miss the lack of closets. i do miss the proximity to target, to my holliston friends and to my other friends in that part of the state... and the proximity to boston. on a day like today, taking the t in to boston or shopping at shoppers world would be a great time...
i'll try to post more frequently- as i've been slacking... but for now... adios... happy long weekend (those of you who are lucky enough to have one)....
