munday again

friday: Twilight exit to see kerrinb, alicetiara, etc. Then Contour, then hot tubbery. The rest is vile pornography which I will leave to your twisted imagination. Suffice it to say that Steve and myself's strategy of Divide And Conquer finally paid off to a certain extent.

saturday: bought about a million groceries and liquor and then assed out reading Skinny Legs and All. Waffled on things to do, finally settled on cegan523's bday party in Tacoland. Steve and I had never been there before. Have no desire to go back. Steve was reminded of Newark. Craig was nice and fucked up and deliriously happy to see us, at least. We contemplated going out afterwards but didn't; fell asleep before two.

sunday: cleaned up the place, pulled a muscle in my back which sort of hurt the whole rest of the day. Steve's birthday BBQ lasted from about 2:30 to, um, 2:30. I drank almost the whole time. goldfischegirl tried to come on to me, and I think I let her to a certain extent, but mainly just got her worked up for her to go home with her boy. Glad to help, honestly.

Finished things off by watching the DVD I bought Steve for his birthday, Swingers. Rawk.

finished

Formula 51

It was no xXx, but then again, it was no xXx. Meaning it wasn't really action-heavy, but it wasn't really fucking stupid either. If it had had more of Samuel L. Jackson saying "motherfucker" and kicking ass, it would have been really enjoyable. I mean, violence and drugs and bathtub sex are fucking righteous. And Americans driving on the wrong side of the road in Liverpool. I also wanted some more actual Liverpudlians, since I love that accent.

Skinny Legs and All

Wow, what a great fucking novel. It was preachy in parts but you didn't mind at all. I mean it wasn't ever really overt, just sort of in asides. I don't usually like it when authors come right out and say stuff directly, but he managed to pull it off. And besides that it's just a really amusing and interesting story, well, two plots, anyway, the people and the inanimate objects. I did find the "what is art" debate a lot more interesting than the "religion is stupid" bits, just because, well, duh. I didn't mind so much when the characters were debating religion, but when the author comes right out and says stuff, it's a little "preachy." But again, not overly, coulda been worse. And the setup for it was pretty good. I got all suckered in, man. Not that I'm complaining.
