This past weekend, three things at a time

Three things about seeing Hitchhiker's Guide with [livejournal.com profile] rafaela and the kids:
1) I cannot believe that we hadn't made it down to Spectrum Theatre in Albany before. I mean, they actually show documentaries and stuff with subtitles there. Caveat: We must get directions to I-787 in advance, unless we really want to see some interesting neighborhoods again.
2) I take back everything bad I said about the casting before. Mea culpa.
3) Young kids don't care a lick about confusing scripts and Hollywoodized endings, as long as there are talking sofas and alien fly swatters that whap people in the nose.

Three things about contradancing:
1) It'd been entirely too long for me. Contradancing still the best way on the planet to meet people, even if I was sweating like it was monsoon season on my head.
2) I want a bouzouki. And a shawm. And a bodhran. And that fiddler.
3) I don't care if she's a lesbian. She's still cute, and she makes good eye contact. (No, not the fiddler.)

Three things about hanging out with [livejournal.com profile] zarhooie:
1) She's an awesome cook.
2) And gives awesome hugs.
3) *happysigh*

Three things about the Sunday night informal SCA gathering:
1) I wish I hadn't shown up on Tablet Weaving Instruction Night. I don't need any more project obsessions in my life, thank you.
2) I wish I could sew, like [livejournal.com profile] rafaela can.
3) Forsooth.

Three things about my feet:
1) They still hurt. Contradancing barefoot is magnificent and a reason to go on living, but ye gods, does it do a number on your arches.
2) My toenails are purple and sparkly, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] zarhooie's tender ministrations. Thank you!
3) 12 hours on the gas pedal in three days makes my ankles sore. So worth it, though.

Simple way to I-787:
Go south on I-87, take 7 east, and take the I-787 exit.

Where WERE you going anyhow? And when are you bringing the little snotdarlings to the museum? :)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I've tuned my lesbian gaydar by means of the following diagnostic question: Do I think she's hot in the same way I thought Karen Larson was?

"2) My toenails are purple and sparkly"

At first I thought this was a continuation on the feet hurtin gcomment. Purple, and Sparkly! I think you should see a doctor.

three things about this post

1. I literally laughed out loud when I read your kids' reactions to HGG.
2. Is the fiddler at least Bi? Mmmmm....fiddlers....mmmm. Something about girls with stringed instruments [livejournal.com profile] rafaela included, MeRow.
3. Poor baby, sounds like you are in dire need of a foot rub! Too bad you guys live so far away or I'd volunteer.

What's a bouzouki and a shawm? I think I know what a bodhran is.

I have to say my education in many areas has been sadly neglected.
