because sometimes i just don't want to

What happened to my weekend?!?

The eggplant parmesan was essentially the only task I managed to accomplish over the 2 days. I did do some reading (Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson--I've read it before, but it's been awhile. As someone who has a tendency to rush through her books, Robinson has the amazing ability to write prose that not only forces me to slow down but makes me want to slow down as well) and inadvertently finished off Deadwood Season 2 a little sooner than I expected (this show continues to amaze--if you haven't seen it, do. The writing is outstanding, the art direction is unlike anything I have ever seen, the acting is topnotch, and the storytelling is so good it almost hurts.) and discovered a new guilty pleasure in playing Rumble Roses XX (No skill required!). I watched Pride and Prejudice because I wanted to and Closer because sometimes I just want to be reminded that people can be horrible to one another. I also took a trip to the Shrine of Barnes and Noble where I somehow managed to walk out empty-handed. Some WNBA was watched (Bill Laimbeer got a technical and it was noted that when coaching women mentioning inner-strength and talking about empowerment usually gets results) and I'm happy to report that Detroit beat the beejeezus outta Connecticut 79-55 though I'm sad not to have the pleasure of watching Katie Douglas play in the finals. Last night ended with Ebert and Roeper, a documentary on Alan Lomax that was really good, and a short local documentary on the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia that is located just north of here in Big Rapids at Ferris State and that I'm definitely interested in visiting.

Today maybe a hike, definitely some cleaning, and hopefully some grocery shopping/bottle-returning.
