lazy bones

holy man am i lazy tonight. i would personally like to blame sunday, grading papers this morning, and an afternoon matinee. after grading 3 more papers, i just made an executive decision that i can finish grading in the morning, and that i am officially done for the night.

jeff and i went to see the departed this afternoon. it's REALLY good, i quite enjoyed it. leonardo dicaprio does a great job. i usually don't care much for him, but he did this role really really well. if you like scorsese films i think you'll really like it. i also ate popcorn at the movie which i haven't done in ages. mmm.

other than seeing the movie, jeff and i really haven't done much of anything this weekend. friday night we went to the chair of the english department's house for dinner. he and his wife are pretty amusing, they swear at each other a lot (but in a loving way i think...). saturday i drove jeff to work for 10:30 and went to the last farmer's market of the season. i bought a bunch of apples and pears, some new potatoes, and some arugula. then i started feeling a little cruddy again (pesky cold lingering). on my way home i stopped at the annual craft fair in the colesium here. it was huge, but pretty terrible. definitely a 'craft' fair. if you wanted something w/ your name painted on it, you were in luck. i was feeling pretty run down there, and the smell of badly scented homemade candles was getting to me, so i came home and ended up taking a 2 hour nap. i still felt a bit run down afterwards, but not nearly as bad. i think i just needed a final nap to really get rid of this cold.

last night i picked up jeff from work at 6:30 and we decided to rent a movie. we decided to find a new video store (b/c it's $4.50 to rent from blockbuster here!). it was in this place called the adam's mall, a place we had no idea where it was. we found it, and it's smack dab in the middle of fraternity houses. this was during the 2nd half of the WSU/UCLA game and when we got out of the car we could hear cheering from all sorts of houses around us, as well as the bar that is in the mall (more like an old high school w/ 5 businesses in it). the sound of cheering all around us was pretty funny, such a huge huge football school here. and the adam's mall knows it's market! one bar, a video store, a party store, the pita pit (subway on pitas), and a branch of the pullman police department. too funny. anyhow, we rented the xmen, decided to order pizza from papa john's (which is right there as well) and then sat in the bar and drank a beer and watched the game w/ a bunch of rowdy WSU fans. wow, lots of hooting and hollering and minor drunkenness. it was fun for the 15 minutes we waited for our pizza, but that was probably enough. amusing though. so we got home, ate pizza, watched xmen3 (fun!) and went to sleep.

quite a rockin' weekend!

this falling back deal is nice, although at 5pm today it was DARK. grr. alright then, off to eat dinner, sleep, and begin week 11 of school. crazy.
