This was the first weekend we’ve had to relax in awhile. We’ve had something going on every weekend this month, and while that’s fun, sometimes you just need some alone time, you know?
We did some cleaning in the garage. Rodney is planning a garage sale for next weekend. It’s probably a good idea. I tend to keep a lot of “junk”, and I’m pretty emotionally attached to all of it. Perfect example: Rodney wants to sell a set of lamps we bought for our first bedroom together. We haven’t used them for years, yet I want to hold on to them, even though I know we’ll never use them again.
Oh, and I also spent a substantial amount of time on the couch. I love being lazy on the weekend. I watched Disc 1 of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Damn, it was good. It just floors me how amazingly talented Hitchcock was. I know that his style is no longer commercially popular, but I wish it would make a comeback somehow. There is nothing on TV or in theatres that’s even remotely good by comparison.
And on a less sophisticated note, I’ve fallen in love with The Family Guy. I was aware of the TV show, but I had never watched it until tonight. I’m hooked. It delivers punchline after punchline of crude, politically incorrect humor. I know… how did I jump from Hitchcock to cartoons? But that’s what I watched this weekend.
Then, of course, there’s Big Brother. I went through a brief phase of liking Dick, but now he’s just too much. He’s overbearing and pretty childish. No wonder his daughter doesn’t want to be around him.
That was my weekend. How was yours?
