I was going to post on April 1st and play an April Fool’s joke, but there wasn’t anything worth doing. I did have a lot of fun with my coworkers and now I am scared because they vowed that they will try to get me back sometime soon “when I least expect it.” Eek! That kinda scares me, but I know it’s all in good fun. I have been getting to know my coworkers a lot more and having a lot of fun with them. It’s just sad that they are all a lot older than me…married with kids, etc. Nobody really hangs out with each other after work. I guess that’s a good thing in many ways. At least it is very drama free that way.

It’s been a few days since I’ve posted. I wanted to everyday, but I just didn’t get around to it. It takes a lot of effort on my part to sit here and do it. Josh has been sick and has had a hard time sleeping, poor guy. He is the lightest sleeper that I’ve ever encountered. But my poor baby is sick, so I tried to help as much as possible.

Well, a quick summary of the events from these past few days:

Watched the play, Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said (Philip K. Dick) on Thursday night with Amy and Josh at the Evidence Room. It had its good parts and its boring parts, but overall, it wasn’t too bad. I wish that I had read the story first. I’ve read a lot of his short stories, but I didn’t get a chance to read it before the show. There were a lot of great actors, so I suggest that you guys watch it before the show ends in a few weeks.

I went to watch Dave Gorman’s Googlewhack Adventure on Friday night with Amy and Tripp. It was hilarious and he is British and you all know my motto, “everything is better with a British accent.” He was fabulously entertaining and a great storyteller. His adventures seem unreal, even though they are not. I developed a tiny crush on him, though it’s the type of crush that I have on movie stars and unattainable model-types. But he just won over a new fan and I am so glad that we were all able to see him.

I had coffee with M that night at Swinger’s and she was in the midst of her comprehensive exams for her master’s degree and was getting stir-crazy all cooped up in her apartment. We decided to spontaneously go out and we had a lovely time talking nonsense in Seinfeld-like banter while the people around us stared and looked at us with intrigue and confusion. We get that reaction a lot when we’re together but it doesn’t seem to bother us in the slightest.

I got home late on Friday night and I slept in soooo late on Saturday. I hadn’t slept in that late in such a long time. I felt good and I lounged around all day. It was one of those great days where I didn’t leave the house and Josh and I just vegged together. We watched Last Life in the Universe, a Thai film that was a bit sad (but I was expecting it because it was an Asian movie) and yet a bit hopeful as well because there is no real resolution in the end. It’s one of those movies that slipped under the radar and was only shown in a small theater for like a week and then it was never shown again. Christopher Doyle was the DP and you can tell just by watching it.

Today was very busy, with the time change and all. Brunch was great and I am glad that people were able to make it out. It was a gorgeous day and we sat outside Newsroom catching up on each others lives. I hadn’t seen Big Papa and Matt in forever. I miss them and their wacky true stories of the crazy shenanigans that had happened since we last saw each other.

A group of us met up after brunch and watched Sin City. (I love how I accidentally stumbled upon a porn site of the same name, thinking that it was the movie site. If you Google it, you will know what I mean). I was excited about it because I like Robert Rodriguez and there were a lot of actors that I liked in the movie (no, not Jessica Alba or Rosario Dawson, in fact, I really don’t like them all, even though they are hot). It was very violent, which I was expecting and visually stunning. It was beautiful in some parts and gruesome in some. There was a balance, though many people only remember the violence. It was dark and gritty and dirty, just what I like about comic book movies. I was thoroughly entertained.

Well, I am exhausted now, even though I had a lot of sleep this weekend. I know that I will wake up tired and I think I’m okay with that. It’s late and I should be in bed with my wonderful but sick boyfriend. Poor guy.
