My three week "vacation" (meaning time where I don't have somewhere to be at a certain time Monday-Friday) was a complete bust. I got may-be two good night's sleep, which is what vacations mean to me. And worst of all, the one for-sure-good-night's-sleep was the first night back in Vegas. I slept from 6:15 in the PM until 11:15 in the AM. I needed it too. Other than that I had trouble sleeping.
I spent a week in Encino, CA at my sister's place. She insisted on waking me up at 9:30 or earlier, despite my only desire while being out there to be to sleep as late as I could handle. And the bed I was stuck on gave me back problems, which made sleeping all-the-more easy. I wouldn't have had such a problem with it, but all we did was things she needed to do, and she'd ask me what I wanted to do, other than sleep.. but that was the only thing I bloody wanted other than watching Lakers games (which I managed to do) - I shan't soon forget The Fish's Shot heard 'round Texas (booyah Spurs fans!)
And the Lakers just wrapped up their series with Minnesota. Kareem Rush went 6/7 from beyond the arc for 18 points as the Lakers propelled themselves into the Finals for the fourth time in five years. In the Eastern Conference, I'm rooting for Indiana, because I heart Reggie Miller.. and the Pistons I don't like so much, mostly because the combined score of games involving them doesn't meet one team's from the 80s. (The Pacers face elimination this evening in Detroit, on ESPN) Yay Playoffs!
Last night for dinner, Mari and I made lasagna... which was a first for me. And I dare say it was delicious. I wonder what we'll have this evening.
I had my first class this morning, Management. Lots of homework, in the way or reading, to be done in that class. I also have a Film class which should be most interesting, but that doesn't start until tomorrow. The school "year" starting on a Tuesday messes everything up (Memorial Day, ya know).
Mari and I are probably going to get a NetFlix account so we can indulge in a ridiculous amount of movie watching for the next two months. I'm working on a list of movies I want to watch/force her to watch. So, if you have any suggestions, run them by me! And don't be too shocked if I've seen them already (or if I haven't). ;) Goodfellas, Swimming with Sharks, El Mariachi, Desperado, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Four Doors, Taxi Driver, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Next are currently on my list, along with forcing Mari to watch Blazing Saddles.
Blazing Saddles is a Mel Brooks classic. If you haven't yet seen it, you must! I implore you! And the three dollar cinema a stone's throw from our apartment looks to be staying open through the summer. Van Helsing is playing there, and I think I'm willing to be parted from (that small amount of) my money to see Kate Beckinsale - now it's just a matter of not having to go alone.
That's all for now, but I'll probably rant more in about three hours, because hey, I'll still be at work.
