AUBREEVISION - Observations from the far side of the dial

Snowbawl's stagette was a roaring success, by all accounts. Junior grandmas poohgirl and I sadly wimped out at midnight -- for whatever reason, neither of us were in much of a party mood and had both made the mistake of wearing horribly uncomfortable shoes. By the time we got home we were practically crawling. But we hear that the girls who stuck it out rose to the occasion and had enough fun for everyone. Good job, ladies!

Sarsar ended up spending the night (in snowbawl's bed -- my single would have made things a little too intimate) and hung around these parts for the day. The three of us hit Denny's for a fuel-up and sarsar and I spent the rest of the day geeking out on my laptops (yes, I said laptops -- dating a programmer will do that to you). We ended the day in fine style with Chinese takeout, Desperate Housewives and Bring it On. Since she's moving away from the city in a couple of weeks (bitch!), it was nice to have the chance to spend the day together. On that note, I'd like to congratulate sarsar on her recent acceptance into teacher's college at the University of Wollongong in New South Wales, Australia!

Bring It On reminds me of those terrible Sweet Valley High books by Francine Pascal (from what deep recesses of my mind did I retrieve that name?) I also recall a similarly awful TV series based on the books. Don't get me wrong, though -- Bring it On is pure tongue-in-cheek cinematic gold.

Pet peeve: people saying ecspecially

Mind-boggling: people who can simultaneously walk and read without wandering into traffic
