Q: How sucktown was Blogger

Q: How sucktown was Blogger yesterday? A: Oh, very. I couldn't actually log on to post this in a timely manner.

Q: So this is really a post about the weekend?
A: Yes. Deal.

Q: Well, okay then. How was your weekend?
A: It was great! I headed up to Great Barrington, MA on Friday night to spend time with some old friends, including heartbroken Willow.

Q: Did J come?
A: J did not come. It was kinda a girl weekend and J spent time at home building things out of wood and watching “Alien Vs. Predator.” I’ve been trying to get him up to Great Barrington for some time, so I will continue those efforts. I think he’d like it.

Q: Did all you girls get really loopy the first night and take pictures of yourself in pajamas pretending to be asleep in various locations in the house?
A: What? Who told you that?

Q: Never mind. I hear there was a movie marathon of sorts. Please list the movies and relative consequences of watching each movie.
A: “Being Julia”: Annette Bening impressions, discussion of satisfying revenge.
“Fame”: Much dancing consisting of general rocking out coupled with grand jetes, followed by disappointment at general amount of dance scenes.
“Flashdance”: Increased excitement due largely to profusion of excellent dance scenes, including bonus breakdancing and ice skating scenes. Life-altering realization that final audition scene was the inspiration for Paula Abdul’s “Cold Hearted Snake” video. Overall regard for “Fame” diminished.

Q: How is Willow’s heart?
A: I think being away did her good, but heart status is still broken.

Q: Did you have any driving adventures?
A: On the way to the train station, the car broke down and had to be pushed to a gas station, where Willow and I sorta hitched a ride with a local heading in our direction. It is my only hitchhiking experience to-date. There may have also been an illegal u-turn in the middle of a highway. My memory is fuzzy about that.

Q: Are the Target and H&M stores as hectic, stressful, and picked-over as they are in New York.
A: Wonderfully, no. Many purchases were made.

Q: Which was better? The homemade pesto calamata olive pizza on spelt crust or the homemade omelette quesadillas with red and green chili?
A: Damn you. I would lie down and die for either right now.

Q: Did you learn anything interesting about annoying internet video memes?
A: Yes. Videos like this and this apparently have a wide secondary audience of two-year-olds who find them completely entrancing.

Q: What's the link to the "Bottle Rocket" short that Willow would like to put on her blog? A: In all it's glory.
