ScaryClown, Who Does Not Want to Go to America tomorrow, came over and we had beers and a documentary blowout. The first movie was entitled Fuck and the second was Lenny Bruce Without Tears. The former is about the origins and culture war over that most useful word, and the second was a nice segue because of course Lenny was key to the first movie. The sound quality of the second movie was quite lousy – somebody should go through the soundtrack and digitally enhance it.
Halfway through the festivities my google calendar made my phone go off and reminded me that I could go naked bowling tomorrow. Yes, I know it sounds like I’m making it up, but I’m not. ScaryClown and Jeff were all full of comments like “Why the f;c& would you want to do that?” and “That’s just wrong on so many levels” (& I’m sure that on the basis of previous posts it will be obvious who said what.) There’s no challenge in upsetting those boys. Then we get to the end of the Lenny Bruce documentary and I said, “I’d hit that,” and once again the boys were disgusted. No challenge, no challenge at all. And if Zombie Lenny Bruce came back I’d STILL hit it. So there.

I had a lovely time at the party last night, and stayed up WAY past my bedtime. I wasn’t out of bed this morning until after 8, can you credit it?
Katie and Jessica D came by and fixed my hair and makeup. I looked fabulous and no, no pictures. I will try to reproduce the glamorization of Allegra at some point, but Mike was appropriately startled at the massive change to my appearance. I have finally gotten over my (grrr) feelings of unhappiness about him perming his hair, but I guess that was just me wanting things to stay the same forever, which, oddly enough, they don’t.
Sometime today Dr Filk is going to show up, and I have to vote, and I need to get some yummy foodicles for the party on Sunday. La la….
Jeff went through HELL trying to return the trailer to U-Haul yesterday. Did you know the franchisees, while they are not supposed to, can refuse to take items back on a WHIM? It bit a good chunk out of the day to find someplace and then help the woman who ran the place get the trailer into the parking lot. What a life!
Waffles this morning… now I am going to make a list and then get to Famous Foods and completely flip out anyway.
More when I have somethin’ else to report. Oh, I’m SO looking forward to the party.
