– entertained , , and on Friday night… well, really they entertained me, but it was Chez Pipes so whatever
\n– made the universe’s pastiest, wettest, doughiest, most undercooked peach pie
\n– saw on Saturday afternoon (ps – , I have your japanese maple & it’s purty!)
\n– bought my very own Pyrex pie plate
\n– eating quesedillas, eating butternut squash, eating steak, eating apple crumble, eating enough for twelve people…
\n– got a lovely bouquet and a much-desired soil aerator as a grad gift from Paul & Uli
\n– enjoyed a full Sunday of gardening with JVL, mulching and replanting, with the shovelling and the raking and the back pain
\n– set the groundwork for a rockery
\n– watched ‘Bad Boys 2’, the dreadful yet oddly compelling Texas cheerleader vs. French teen flick ‘She Gets What She Wants’, and the second episode of HBO’s ‘Rome’ (Ciaran Hinds continues to be awesome)
\n– finally won the Firetruck for getting all ten crash headlines in ‘Burnout 3’
\n– freaked out last night about not liking my job and hating feeling constantly disengaged and bored by something I am supposed to love doing (ie. writing stories)
\n– realised I am now extremely pre-menstrual <\/p>\n

Am intensely sad to report that, even though I circled it repeatedly in highlighter, wrote happy faces in the margin, placed it as both a first- and second- round pick and added a little begging ‘please!’ to my selection of Dave Chappelle’s Block Party<\/a> to my film festival selection book, I did not get the tickets. will be crushed when I tell him this afternoon. <\/p>\n

Now I have to go online tomorrow morning at 7am sharp and try to buy advance regular tickets for ‘Block Party’ with the rest of the plebes. May have to take day off work on Wednesday, Sept. 14th to go see 9am screening at Varsity 8. Damn it!<\/p>\n

Instead, I got these selections:
\nBrokeback Mountain SAT 09\/10\/2005 06:00pm
\nTim Burton’s Corpse Bride SAT 09\/10\/2005 09:00pm
\nTristram Shandy: A Cock and Bu TUE 09\/13\/2005 07:15pm
