End of Weekend Update

I think that I am going to have to start posting in the mornings, before I start working.  This whole "I'll leave blogging for last because I enjoy it the most thing" has led to a total slow down of my posting because you know what?  After spending all day trying to be creative for other peoples' purposes? I am tapped.  I sit down with the computer and go "ummmm………nah.  Maybe tomorrow." Which, yes, makes me sucktastic.

In great news but also related to my lack of posting time is Will deciding to hang out with me in the evenings instead of holing up with WoW.  This is a phenomenal development and I do not want to take it for granted because he could get sucked back into the WoWverse at any moment.  I love hanging out with Will–and the last few days have been movie madness in our house.  We have watched: Secretary (guess who chose this one), Juno, Hellboy, The Bucket List, Charlie Bartlett, Shoot 'Em Up, Gone Baby Gone and Catch and Release.  Our movie consumption rate is starting to rival those evenings in college when nobody had to work or had rehearsals or study groups and my roommates and I would go to Blockbuster and load up and watch movies until we all passed out.  Good times.  For these eight movies (I'd seen Hellboy before, but wanted to watch it again because Will hasn't seen it), I have to say that my two favorites are Juno and Gone Baby Gone.  Gone Baby Gone kind of reminded me of The Life of David Gale.  It could end a few times and been okay but it sucks you back in for a little while longer and then when it does end, you have a total moral delimma to solve for yourself!  As Will put it "Hello, gray area, nice to see you again!"  If Will doesn't get sucked back into WoW we might actually go hiking.  Hiking! On purpose! With Will! I could faint!

It has also been fun to slowly convert Will into my movie genre list.  There is no "funny" in my world.  There's "stupid funny" "wry funny" "pee your pants funny" "sweet funny" "chick funny" "smart funny" and "man humor."  I have similar breakdowns for the Drama and Action genres as well.  Why only have three categories when you can have thirty? (plus, it makes choosing movies easier)

In completely unrelated news, today I made my very first loaf of homemade bread! When I woke up today I didn't plan to make bread, but I was looking through these recipe cards that showed up in the mail and one had a recipe for "easy" bread so I went for it.  The hardest part was getting enough flour into the dough that it didn't stick to the cutting board I was using as my "lightly floured surface."  I have decided that, in the cooking world, a "lightly floured surface" actually means "heavily coated with flour."  At any rate the bread turned out well and I am kind of proud of it.  Now I want to experiment and see what kinds of bread I can make with this recipe.  Also? kneading? totally awesome arm workout.

So.  How did your weekends go?
