The weekend so far and proving a point

Well, overall, it's been a good weekend so far. Too bad it's Sunday and I have to go back to work tomorrow... Went over to husband and wife's last night for dinner. They made their famous buffalo wings which was a fantastic surprise, probably ate too many of them and shortened my life expectancy by a few years but it was totally worth it. We basically hung out, but it was definitely a good time. One of the funniest things was this phrase that husband made up, let me set up the context for it first:
Wife and I had just gone to rent a movie. While we're at blockbuster we conclude that husband is very particular about his movies in an odd way. When we get back home, we give him a hard time about his particularity and he asks for examples. Unfortunately, wife and I can't think of any good ones despite having had a list of them while at the video store. He suggests that one of them is that he doesn't like Meg Ryan. Then he amended that statement by saying that "When Harry Met Sally" wasn't so bad, BUT he thinks that this is due to the fact that Billy Crystal is in the movie and it offsets the "Meg Ryan-ness" of the movie. Meg Ryan-ness??!! That's not a word and it's definitely not an adjective! Pretty damn funny though. Meg Ryan-ness...

I got some good news on my Shakespeare paper, my prof gave me an A on it which rocks, especially since it's a big fat six-credit A. Take that my ex-doctoral program! Ha, I'm not a total idiot despite what some of you may think! Nyah, nyah, nyah :) Getting a little stir-crazy right now though and trying to figure out a good excuse to take off for a little bit. Too much "together" time with my mom and dad can make me a bit nuts. I actually really liked having my Shakespeare paper as an excuse to take off to Starbuck's to work on it. I mean, it's true that I get nothing accomplished at home, I get way too distracted, but it was also nice to just head to downtown Ann Arbor, do a little people-watching, get a cuppa and be alone for a bit. Hmm, maybe I can get a friend to go for coffee right now...

On a different note, while at husband and wife's last night, there was a bit of a debate over whether or not eyeliner works on some guys (not whether it actually physically works but whether or not it looks good on them). Wife and I agree that it definitely works on Billie Joe Armstrong. I submit this photo as evidence:


Husband was not entirely convinced by our argument and then proceeded to question whether or not Gerard Way is one of those guys that looks good in eyeliner (while also mocking me for thinking he's hot.) Again, as evidence:


Again, the eyeliner really works on him and how could anyone deny that this is a beautiful man?? Of course, it seems like it's in the genes. His brother, Mikey, is gorgeous too:

Yeah so, in summation, some guys in eyeliner = hot. Others, not so much. For Billie Joe, Gerard and Mikey Way, it definitely works. I mean, could you imagine Jakob Dylan in eyeliner? Pretty good looking in general but I do not think eyeliner would work on him. I'm sure I could think of other examples, but I'm too lazy right now. I rest my case.
Right, so, now its time to head back to husband and wife's house for dinner again, this time my parents are coming, so it won't be quite as free and easy with the conversation as it was last night. Should be a good time though. Managed to convince a friend to get coffee, so I made it out of the house for a bit which isn't all bad. Too bad it's back to work tomorrow :(
Ciao,
