What a fantastic day!
I just had a perfectly wonderful weekend in which I learned all of my lines and then didn't even have to rehearse (meaning I'll be all the more amazing next week [
] ). I got almost nothing accomplished, so I caught up on my rest a bit while enjoying many, many hours of "Six Feet Under." I don't know why they're running three episodes back-to-back on Bravo, but it's cool that they do, in that it's such an incredibly engaging story. Also finished a viddie I've been puzzling over for several weeks, which was a nice accomplishment to accomplish.
I loved the 'Thon Saturday night -- a lot more than I thought I would. Then yesterday I took in a very nice service and talked to a lovely young woman named Tiffany who I'm now apparently exchanging media with.
See, I just found out that there's a small group of folks who apparently bring DVDs to church and hand them off to each other and then talk about them the following week. One of my fellow parishioners introduced me to this Tiffany person while inviting me to be a part of this exchange.
I didn't see a ring, and she seems like a lovely person, but now I have to figure out what sort of media I have that I can hand off to someone and make a reasonably good first impression. I'm thinking the first disc of the "Firefly" set would be a good and interesting piece of not-terribly-forward media (in case she is in fact already seeing someone -- I don't know anything about her except her first name and that she's pretty, has a spark of intelligence in her eyes and a very nice smile) that could spark a zillion conversations and not be nearly so unnerving as, say, anything from my David Lynch collection.
It was zero yesterday but there was no wind so I went for a walk. And at the end of 3-1/2 miles I was exhausted. It doesn't matter if there's wind and it doesn't matter if it's a gloriously sunny day. If it's zero, it's zero, and that's just too damn' cold. Brrr.
No rehearsal and no television (everything I watch took the night off for the Super Bowl) so I folded laundry and watched the game in a sort of disinterested way -- I figure my team won back in November and I really didn't have a dog in this hunt -- until "Criminal Minds" came on and blew me completely out of the water. I'd really already anticipated their big reveal when it happened, but the situation as they left it was still pretty intense, so I'm absolutely on the edge of my remote to pick up the second half on Wednesday.
And this a.m. I got up ridiculously early and did dishes, got the garbage out right as the truck drove up and headed to the college, where they've opened the Dome for people to walk in. The girls softball team was practicing on the main level and I tossed a couple stray softballs back to them as I put two miles behind me. Not a terrible way to start the day and a much nicer walk than outside, where it was 20 below. Oy.
All in all, a restful, energizing and not-at-all terrible set of days.
