Lunch, Boring Movie & Fundraiser
My heart really isn't in this tonight, but I fake it for you people. You're welcome.
I was up way later than I should've been last night, turned off the alarm and went back to sleep this morning.
The wife ran errands and wen t about her routine until shortly after noon, when I'd finally clocked 8 hours of sleep and woke up. We went and grabbed a bit of lunch in a Mexican place across town that had more empty tables that not, yet managed to still have a single waitress in the weeds and forgetting shit left, right and center. The food was decent, we enjoyed ourselves, though we might've liked to have that second helping of chips they promised before disappearing and never coming back. Oh well.
We headed home, where I popped in a straggler film that'd arrived late last month but never got watched as part of the Halloween films. I'd never seen Terror Train, just knew that it involved some vintage Jamie Lee Curtis from back in the day. It was alright, nothing really blowing my skirt up, but hey, I can get it back in the mail to Netfux tomorrow, so that's cool.
This evening one of the wife's charities was celebrating its 25th anniversary, an event which featured Laura Bush as a speaker and a table full of people I know, but am not exactly tight with, so I wasn't necessarily looking forward to fighting my way into a suit and tie, then pressing the flesh for the evening, but I always come back to the fact that I have a very simple life, so who gives a fuck if I have to do this kind of song and dance from time to time? I'm very proud of the wife's involvement and commitments to the community, so if all I have to do is show my support from time to time, who cares, right?
The meal was good, the speakers were short and sweet, though I don't think I shared the general audiences' amusement at Laura's family-related anecdotes about all the other little Bushes. Oh well, I'm not her target audience.
We headed home afterward and spent the rest of the evening watching the first part of the original V mini-series, which I'm sure I haven't watched since I was about 9 and they originally aired. The show looks okay at times and gloriously awful at others, so I'm definitely happy that I grabbed the series when it re-aired on the Sci Fi Channel over the past few days. Oh, and before anyone corrects me, I know they changed their name to SyFy, but fuck them, that's not even close to being a word and I refuse to play ball. Prince changed his name to some dumbass glyph and we still call him Prince; deal with it.
I'm out kids, I need to be up at the crack of dawn to meet with some dude who has to measure our curtains in the front room for the makeover we're patiently waiting to happen.
Be seeing you.

did you like the new version that aired last night?
i thought it had potential.
i can't wait for the new prisoner mini on AMC.
We DVR'd it, I kinda want to re-watch the original stuff before delving into the new material, even though I know it's not exactly related.
Thx for mentioning the Prisoner, I need to add it to the TiVo's list of projects.
