It is summer. We all get those feelings when we have nothing to do, feelings that tell us we are alone and boring. Lies, really, are what those feelings are. If you get that feeling, don't be afraid to call up friends. I understand phones are awkward, and emails are impersonal, but just doing something with them is rehabilitation.
These past four days have been quite wonderful. Because people don't usually read and comment on this, my personal blog, I am going to remember the days by mapping out what happened. It will probably be general, but it was still very, very delightful.
Friday night they got in and we had sloppy joes, apple sharing, and sleep. Saturday we got up early to work out, drove around Houtson looking for a few things Ward needed, and kind of saw some sights. That night we played poker at the Miller Outdoor Theater, talked to Kayla a bit on the phone, and looked at the lights of the city at night. Sunday we went to Sunday school where JP spoke, and God used him to remind and bring us into awareness of our sin and what God says and does about it. Actually it reminded me of last Sunday's sermon, the one a week ago. Sunday afternoon to night, Ben and I celebrated our two year anniversary (which is on Friday!) by going to Avalon diner and talking slash walking around. We ended up at Coldstone and tried a combination of rapsberry sorbet and freshly cut up strawberries.
Sunday night as I was talking to Jeff, Ben and Ward and Jon found a glitch in our plans. Jon had a Hot Topic in the Woodlands hold a shirt he wanted for 24 hours, but that meant that we couldn't go to the beach on Monday as planned. It was quite an annoying thing, trying to figure out all of our plans and what not. Once we decided on them (oh how complicated they were) we watched Millennium Actress, which was alright, but I very much disliked the story line. It's about this actress who chased after this guy through her career. It's too complicated yet...she didn't even know him. Barely...he ran into her one day and they talked about painting, and then he left. And that was it.
I just spent perhaps an hour looking for the name of that movie.
Monday Jon and Ward went to get the shirt Hot Topic was holding for Jon, then we went to the Museum of Natural Science and watched a "chuckle" IMAX movie that was supposed to be about TREXES!! ....but ended up being about this girl and how she semi-studied them. She was supposed to be like 15...anyway it was....interesting. To say the least.
We watched Princess Mononoke that night. If you know anything about any of us, you can probably assume that Jon was the one buying all of these DVDs...and they all happen to be anime. In my opinion, Princess Mononoke was far better than Millennium Actress. But, you know, I am all about Howl's Moving Castle now...something about me and anime matches up quite nicely.
Thus we did not to go to the beach Monday, and Monday night decided that beaches were destined for another trip.
Tuesday we lazertagged with little kids, ate Taco Cabana, went to cheap arcades, and Bob got home. Bob and I went to watch my Dad, Ward, and middle-aged men from DOW play soccer. It was entertaining from the sidelines, and from what they said quite a work out. Then, SUPERMAN! IMAX, baby. It was a pretty good movie. I remember distinctly the seats not being very friendly. More Superman movies were expected from Jon, but Ben disagreed.
Yet...I won't ruin it for you.
Hah...I got lost. But that's for another time, another story, another day.
Now some of the lovlies are gone from this town, probably this county, on their way to Dallas for a wedding. I'll miss them, one more than the others. Good ol' Ben - he bought me records and books at Half Price yesterday. I've got quite a collection going!
BOB IS HERE!! I'm excited for said wedding on Friday.
And that's all Mez has for now, folks.
