Weekend Update

Well, I had all these grandiose plans for the weekend and, though I still did stuff, it wasn't nearly as fun-filled as I'd hoped. Friday night, instead of going to see Mustard Plug at the Blind Pig, I chickened out (yeah, going alone took more guts than I had on Friday) and ended up going over to a friend's and we ended up just drinking beer and watching The Royal Tenenbaums (which she fell asleep during). So much for a wild and crazy Friday night. God my life is boring.

Saturday I'd planned to go to a MeetIn Detroit event but found that I had too much little shit to do around the house and had tickets to see La Boheme with my mom for that evening and didn't think I'd be able to make it to Plymouth and back in time to make it to Detroit for the opera. La Boeheme was much better than Norma, that's for sure. It makes me quite excited to see the movie version of Rent that's coming out soon (also really want to see Walk the Line). Beautiful music, sad story, nice evening, but again, Saturday was not all I'd planned it to be. Then I was an idiot and stayed up till 3am reading so I was exhausted on Sunday. Wise choice on my part. Suddenly it's Monday again and why is it that the weekdays can't go as fast as the weekends? Not fair.

I did go to Borders yesterday and got two fun books. One is Ultragrrrl's book, The Pocket DJ which is just fun because it's got all sorts of playlists in it as well as some fun trivial facts about musicians and bands. The other one is iPod Therefore I Am and the title alone is amusing. Haven't started reading it yet, should be pretty interesting though (its about the place of the iPod in digital music, the author's own musical development etc.)

Randomly, I have also decided I want to go to NYC for a few days. I haven't been there in a million years and certainly haven't been there since I was old enough to be allowed to run around NYC alone. I'm going to try and convince Shannon that this is a good idea and we should go. Other than that, it's now getting officially cold in Michigan and I hate it. This was one of the few good things about DC-mild winters. I HATE Michigan winters. It's basically ok until you get to New Year's and then there's nothing fun to look forward to and you just get sick of the cold, nasty grayness of it all. Ugh, ugh ugh.
So, on that happy note,
Ciao,
Sasha
