It's been fairly quiet. Friday we went to Brö's and did the usual chewing of the fat and watching of the movies. On Saturday it was mostly poking around the house with a little jaunt to Manny Hattan's for lunch where I ate a dish so terribly bad for me that I didn't eat anything else for the rest of the day. I shan't describe this horror other than to say that it was named the Yankee Stadium; you can google it if you're that curious. Eric had plans that evening and I couldn't find anything to do initially, so I sang myself hoarse listening to Jeff Buckley and cleaned my desk, which probably is a lot more impressive than it sounds. I collect a lot of clutter around my desk.
A couple from Dallas whom I've only spoken with online was in town, though, and called and invited me to see an improv show at the Coldtown Theater, that place on Airport where we went to see ' Super High Me' a few months ago. I'd never been to an improv show, and it was amusing. Not bust-a-gut hilarious, but at least I got out of the damn house. And it's always nice meeting online friends.
I sang at services today; it was focused on Thanksgiving so we did what is apparently our traditional T'giving song. It's something some church member wrote, and it's not my favorite piece ever but I sang it last year which means I've been in this choir for a year now. And a good year it has been. Now we're going to focus solely on our big Christmahanukwanzakah piece which we'll do at services on 12/7, so save the date if you're interested.
After, we tried to meet Dallas couple at a Mexican place (Ananda's) but it was too crowded and we ended up at separate tables. That's okay, though, I was starving and cranky and probably not terrific company. Lunch was dirt cheap, though; I got 3 breakfast tacos (2 bean and cheese, and a potato and chorizo) for $2.50! Ordering orange juice was a mistake; I got a tall glass of iced orange drank that was vaguely Tang-like. Bleh. But it was probably thirty cents or something so I'm not going to bitch too much. Eric got a giant plate of eggs and chorizo and beans and tortillas for $3. Tasty! But also very noisy, so we were glad to bolt out of there and visit Dragon's Lair nearby, then do the dreaded pre-Thanksgiving shopping trip. Luckily they were well-stocked so we weren't stuck there for too long, though it was crowded as hell.
Peopled out, we're planning on doing a whole lot of nothing for the rest of the day. We might be visited by Whitebear or Nikki, and if not may pop in on Stevie who is preparing to undertake a mighty quest- the Rock Band Endless Setlist on expert level, which means he has to play every song without pausing or failing; he expects this will take about 6 hours. So he invited us to do the Rock Band equivalent of throwing water on the marathon runners and otherwise cheering him on.
