Went to the women's basketball game last night. Good times. There were only 14 people in the band, so we sounded tiny and Mustang Sally was pathetic. It was laughable and sad at the same time.
Have you seen "Get Shorty"? If you haven't, you won't get this. As I was walking home from the game, my dad called me. He said, "We're making chili here at the house with all this hamburger meat."
"Yeah."
"And it's chilly outside.
"It's chili inside and it's chilly outside."
heh.
For a long time my mother has told me that she doesn't really like my name. So last year she said I could change it to whatever I wanted, in case I no longer wanted to be confused with African American professional athletes and skeetzy porn stars. Then a few months ago she said I could go by my initials. I would now be called D.B. You know, like D.B. Sweeney from those brat pack movies. Really? Really? Then my dad called this morning - I didn't answer because it was 8:19am and too damn early for me to race downstairs to find my cell. So when I went to check my voicemail, it was from my father. He said, "Your mother and I have decided to change your name to Mercedes. Just wanted to let you know. If you have any questions you can call us back."

4 day weekend
Thursday night: Women's basketball game, they won! Holla! Then Ben's Halfyard House. Somewhat amusing.
Friday night: fell asleep around 6pm and slept through band gig. My bad. Watched movies at Jacque's.
Saturday: Women's basketball game, they won! Holla, again! Went on a grand grocery shopping adventure for like 3 hours with Jacque. Then we went to North Park in an attempt to eat at P.F. Chang's. But it was Saturday night and we didn't have a reservation. So we went to Banana Republic, did a little shopping, went to Starbucks, because it rocks and I need it like air...then we ordered P.F. Chang's To Go and watched movies at Jacque's. But only until Austen decided video games would be better than the TNT edited version of Fletch. Yes, I love Fletch... So then we played Super Mario Kart for Gamecube until 4:30am. Austen owned the balloon battle, but Jacque and I did the team racing and we kicked major butt! And this is an amazing story, because I hate video games. For the most part. Except for a long standing love of Super Mario Brothers 2 for Game Boy. Take it Wario! Take it!
Sunday: woke up at 11am...watched movies all day...went to Jason's for the Oscars. Ooo...that girl from Phantom of the Opera had on the exact same red dress as Renae Zellweger. Why did most of the women have a variation on the same two dresses? Did they all share a stylist this year? Why were both styles of dresses from the last season of Sex and the City? Seriously kids, grow some imagination, or pay to take advantage of someone else's!

Just another Thursday!
This Thursday I went to another basketball game. It was very exciting. Not because I really like basketball games, but because I saw people from the real world, people from school, that helped bring me out of my fairytale land that I had been stranded in...Bedford, with no internet.
I was pleasantly reminded that I am not the only person that finds Spaz irritating and that other people are annoyed by his, let's call it attention-whore, need for people to notice him. :)
I saw Luke Smith after a long time without talking to him. I reminded him that he in fact had not lost his Season 5 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer; that Jacque still had it after borrowing it from him because he refused to call either of us back for the last 6 months. I told him to give me a call I'll return it to him, not only that I'll give back his flask that he left in my car for weeks until I realized that the funk was not my umbrella, but his alcohol container that had leaked all over the passenger door ... shelf, pocket, receptacle? Anyway, so I told him to give me a call, he can pick them up anytime. I asked if he had my number. He said yes. I said, "Way to use it." I was snide, but I thought that he was our friend, and he totally ditched Jacque and me. I have to say that I wasn't surprised though. I didn't actually expect him to call either. I'll let you know if he ever does.
After the game I went over to Jason's and we decided to see the Darkness, that movie with Anna Paquin, not Claire Danes. Apparently, half the world thought she was in the movie. Poor Anna Paquin, she did the Piano and still gets no respect, Claire Danes does the Terminator... Anyway, so we watched that. It wasn't at all inspiring. It was sort of jump inducing, but it was like They, scary things come out in the dark, poor main characters. So after we drove back to Jason's, we decided to watch the Blair Witch Project, which definitely scares the bejesus out of both of us. It scares me because I go into the woods all the time. Crazy camp. Anyway, so we get scared out of our wits and need to watch a little Will and Grace to come back down to earth. Jason fell asleep while I watch just enough of a second episode to make the drive home. And I did drive home and I didn't get scared once. I'm an adult, you know.
