not at all what I expected. . .
how did I spend my weekend, you ask? crazily enough, I had few, if any actual plans. instead, I threw caution to the wind, and, after recovering from the effects of having caution blown back into my face, I ended up:
- thoroughly enjoying yet another mini-highschool reunion, this time with a young man who looks exactly like he did when I last saw him in 1988, complete with curly locks and slender frame...funnily enough, the only photograph I have of this former duckie-meets-trenchcoatmafia-with-a-dash-of-cusack is when we got married for charity at my freshman year homecoming festival. yes, that's right, I pretend-married duckie. eat your hearts out.
- hanging out with blondie on saturday, singing along to the entire Avenue Q soundtrack while running errands and making each other giggle. watched stage beauty. witnessed family drama from opening argument to stunningly dramatic conclusion. petted the dog.
- figuring out how to build the cute little rollover menus I'm always breaking and fixing at work...so now the studio project I'm putting together (yes, I have a second job. who doesn't?) will look exactly the way my client was hoping it'd look...
- shopping for furniture with my beautiful and talented sister, whose house has some sort of mobius quality to be able to contain 3 year's worth of furniture shopping trips....
- trying not to mope too much over the current breakup. yeah, I know I haven't mentioned it much while we were actually dating. ah well. I'll remember to tell you more next time.
- got my hair cut. it looks fabulous. (as if you had any doubt)

yet another IM conversation . . .
me: so. anyway. I'm feeling terribly boring. how are you?
blondie: I'm tweaking a powerpoint pres.
me: woo!
blondie: wheeeee
me: I'm making screenshots from a powerpoint pres for a video!
me: we're powerpoint twins! Activate!
blondie: form of...
blondie: a bar chart!
me: a totally stupid animated wipe effect!
blondie: yay!
blondie: let's fight some crime!
blondie: wait. I'm pretty sure animated wipe effects ARE a crime
me: well, yeah.
(from there, we just digress into evil twin diatribes that make me feel guilty for not being more dedicated to blogging, these days...)

swooning from the gushing, over here.
even when she's not writing about how awesome I am, Blondie's a fabulous writer - hilarious, bubbly, everything I wish I could be. the wind beneath my wings, dahlink.
also: For the record, I wasn't on the pill in high school. CERTAINLY not as a high school freshman. I would have been mortified and THRILLED to hear that the seniors were speculating about my sex life, however...especially hot seniors wearing tight bodices or flouncy kilts!
Re: the cell phone in the previous entry - it's been cracking at the hinge for a few months now, but on the very last day of my verizon contract, it snapped in half.
you should have seen me - I felt like Ernestine, holding the mouthpiece in one hand while pressing the other piece to my ear....the new phone should be here today - I can't wait!!!!

In Case You're Wondering Why I Don't Answer My Phone This Weekend....
I've ordered a new one, but who knows when it'll actually arrive...3 days? 5 days?
I'll be checking messages, but it's just not the same as feeling that familiar buzz in the pocket when y'all call..

Oscar Coverage
Because Blondie and I didn't write a recap of our oscar viewing party.
my favorite bit:
7:08 PM PT Prince is in the house. Even more awesomely, Prince looks bored.
