windelinaWhat a totally surreal New Year's.
Okay, the New Year's Eve part was pretty standard. Monte caught a cold and brought it home to me on Thursday (thanks, hon!) so we were both getting snotty on Friday. I spent the afternoon and evening sewing on a project.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lucyruthe came over to camp at our place for the weekend (which was WAY fun and we should have more weekend guests because it makes everything funner!). She went out to Illusion 2005 (which I regret not going to even though I know I was way too sick and tired). Darn it, there will be more dancing in 2005!
Anyway, we went to the BLB and watched "The Scrimshaw Show" and laughed alot and chatted with many. And then we went home to take antihistamines together. The family that takes drugs together, stays together!
Saturday was the Surreal Day.
We slept in on Saturday. Alot. And then slept some more. And slowly started moving around. And bathing. And puttering. And lazing about. Finally, we achieved escape velocity just as Lucyruthe joined the land of the living, so we all headed out tobarda's place for Bollywood Breakfast! The food was mostly gone by the time we arrived, but Barda made us waffles. Yay! And we got to briefly see people before they skipped out. And we watched a Bollywood musical, which was fun and entertaining and mind-bending. We mostly sat around and chatted and then decided movies were in order. The plan to do a double feature at the Lagoon was thwarted by one of the movies not being at the Lagoon. Our huge movie-party-crowd came to a crashing end right at the beginning, alas. But Lucyruthe, Monte and I went in to see The House of Flying Daggers which was gorgeous (I want one of the green outfits), but I think I liked "Hero" better. We then made a dash to the car to see about dashing up to see the Life Aquatic but the roads were assy. Got a call from the rest of the movie-goers and no consensus could be reached for further plans. So we continued on our way until we decided to abort due to bad roads. Instead, we went and rented videos and bought snacks and were denied alcohol.
Okay, let's get into the details here. We slept in, then woke up and went and watched a Bollywood musical. Then a gorgeous martial arts flick. Then we went to Blockbuster, where we were greeted by an Elvis impersonator singing karaoke at us. I shit you not. Lucyruthe, Monte and I declared it the Best New Year's Ever! We grooved around the store picking out movies (death and disaster being the impromptu theme: Ginger Snaps Back [eh, predictable, but still fun], Shaun of the Dead [just as good as the first time!] and the Day After Tomorrow [disaster!]). We went to Rainbow but Lucyruthe the baby-faced could not purchase the Mike's goodness. We consoled ourselves with champagne and red wine at home.
Home for hot dogs, pizza, chips, wine and movies. Yay!
Sunday was the day of sloth. When we found out that Improv-a-Go-Go wasn't even happening, we all caved in to the Siren Sloth Song and decided to do nothing all day. So, we played music and chatted and snacked and went and got the Mike's successfully this time and watched more movies (including What About Bob?) and had a lovely turkey dinner with Nathan who stopped by to visit. Lucyruthe eventually broke free of our wiles and headed home. Monte and I took more cold meds and drooled through Groundhog's Day.
And now it is Monday and I have much to do this week but would rather be napping. Will go find lunch and continue to read the addictive Perdido Street Station. Will sew some more this week. Do prep work on "The Crucible". Watch a few "24" episodes. And sleep.

The No Way in Hell Would I Ever Predict 2004 Would End On Moment
Date: 2005-01-04 06:41 am (UTC)It boogles my mind that Ginger (bad knees) and I (no sense of rythm) went to a dance party that you were so much more qualified to attend.
