How to cure a hangover...not really

Today is D's birthday, but because those Lovesacs aren't gonna sell themselves on a Saturday, they had a bbq at their house for him last night. I brought my usual spinach dip and a 6 pack of Fat Tire arriving at 7:45 and expecting drink half of my beers and leave at about 11. All sorts of fun was had by ME because the Trickers were there with Lila and the Armstrongs were there with Cooper and of course, the Jorgensons themselves have Dominic and Lav. I do love the babies. Also got to see Scott & Jen and Miss Jackie which is always awesome. Anyway, my spinach dip never got eaten, I had all of those 6 beers, and I ended up walking home with the bar-closers.

Needless to say, I woke up feeling a little on the crappy side. That wasn't helped by the fact that I woke up at 6:45. I only managed to get one more hour of sleep before dragging my ass outta bed. It helps that I'm a morning person and I had a kitty to feed. I decided that the best medicine was a trip to the library, a bloody mary/benedict breakfast, and a movie.

Picked up a few true crime books at the library and was confused by a new bartender at Pizza Luce. A cute and earnest fellow, but not as awesome as my usual girl. I took the train to MOA, making it there with 15 minutes to spare before my movie started. Got my popcorn, found a comfy spot in the middle of the theater and crossed my fingers that no one would sit near me.

As luck would have it...well, I don't have any luck. A whole row of stupid talking heifers sat a couple of rows behind. I seriously would like to know why people act like they are in a private goddamn screening.

The movie, A Perfect Getaway, was o-kay. I can't decide if I really liked it. The twist was...o-kay, but I found a lot of the characters unlikeable and hard to route for. It wasn't much of a horror movie and I'm not so sure why it was rated R. The bloodshed is minimal and I don't even recall a lot of swearing. Overall I think I liked it. If asked, I recommend it as a rental.

So now I'm home plucking songs at random out of my head and listening to them through blip.fm. My head and tummy still ache a little bit and I could sure use a nap. For now I'm gonna have some leftover shrimp fried rice and rumaki and contemplate watching Mirrors.

Other things that happened this week: I got my property tax refund. I made a payment arrangement with a couple of my credit card debtors to get those paid off in the next year. I re-fell in love with Old Navy. (I just love them for fall/winter clothes.) I found out there is a yarn store just a hop/skip/jump away from me at work. (It's a Borealis Too.) That last could be trouble.
