Divine Weekend

This weekend I had the joy of seeing some fabulous CMU people not once but TWICE! Oh, it was lovely to be around like-minded (or at least like-educated) friends.

Every time that I go to Hoboken I am reminded of how much I love it. Being a student who cannot work full-time means that I will not to Hoboken any time soon, and that makes me sad, but I assuage my anxiety by remembering that the more money I save now, the less stressed out I will be later. Yeah, sure!

Anyway, Sunday was a day of all types of brilliance. I drove an hour north to New Milford to hang out with Dan. We watched ANNIE HALL, which he had never seen. I've seen this film a minimum of five times in the past two years. It is still cripplingly hilarious every time. It's that kind of intelligent, real-to-life humor that is missing from most mainstream movies. Dan loved it, especially the line "Touch my heart with your foot." So, overall it was a win.

Then we watched the HBO "Grey Gardens" movie with Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange. Good performances, but a pretty boring script.

With the movies watched, we headed to Alex's apartment in BROOKLYN for pasta et cetera. In contrast to my adventure to Hoboken on Friday, Dan and I only got lost once...when we went into an apartment building, knocked on a stranger's door, and then realized that we were definitely NOT in Alex's building. Hilarity.

Anyway, the evening was full of great food, fabulous people, and brilliant conversation. Dan and I stayed with Shannon and Alex until well after midnight just talking. I had about a bottle of champagne plus some chianti, so I was feeling absolutely great. These are the kinds of nights that I constantly prefer over "going out." They are cheaper, you can adjust the lighting and music volume, you can see the person in front of you, and there is no better way to get to know someone better than having an intelligent, group discussion on sundry issues and interests.

My all day hangover was worth it.

What is next for Steven Jude? At 2:30 I FINALLY get my permanent porcelain veneers. My one tooth came out consistently Sunday night. It was REALLY annoying.

Borders hasn't called me back about when I am starting. Sketchy. But my friend just told me that there are openings at the MET gift shop, so...I am definitely going for that drama if Borders flakes out on me. Or, I'll just work at both places.

Okay, that's it. My neck hurts, and I have to go mentally prepare myself for this procedure.
