a lovely weekend indeed

finally finished napoleon dynamite. a completely bizarre movie from which i got some good laughs, but it was ruined for me when mancat told me that it was made by mtv. even bizarre indie flicks are big business. made me sad.

and speaking of mancat, i think he wanted to kill me when he came over last night and i've had madonna on ad nauseam. i just noticed you can get updates on her texted to your cel by signing up on the website. interesting... 'hold on- i just got a text. oh another from madonna, she needs to stop the drunken texts at 2am.'

we had lovely indian from the surly and slow restaurant up the street. interior a bit scary, and like i said, the whole surly and slow thing, but hot damn the chefs really have their act together. probably one of the best indian restaurants in nyc.

this was unmentionable replacement weekend as well. wore a lovely and comfy and warm pair of new black socks today, trial run, but the dye came off all over my poor feet. (think farmer tan gone wrong and for the feet.) and after the shower, it hasn't budged. i look ridiculous and will, no doubt, be a hit at the gym tomorrow. grr. but, i stocked up on boxers from american body at the street fair on broadway. you heard it here first, kids, these people really got it right finally: soft and makes me arse (and, um, other things) look lovely. nice folks, too.

so all in all, a quiet weekend. a nice contrast to last weekend which was a tad wild and crazy with the austrian baby shower. no, baby showers aren't inherently wild and crazy, but the crowd was a bunch of lovely and fun booze hounds, so when with austrians, do as the austrians do... [hic...] i knew it was time to leave when they ran out of wine and the youngins all started screaming en masse. (maybe they, too, noticed the wine was gone?) this week is the shower for nonbossman: mrs. nonbossman went in to labor on friday, so it's a tad, how you say, locking the barn door after the horse escapes. rumor has it that v. p. auntie mame will be breaking out her black amex and underwriting the whole thing at one of the local watering holes... (hic...) that can only mean trouble. also, do i bring a grover stuffy for the youngin or a bottle of booze for the new parents? both are equally necessary, i suppose...
