a nice one
friday was a lazy day. i got up ate some fruit and yoghurt, typed up a journal entry and then a little before 11 i went into the living room with elicia, her mom and heather to watch the rememberance day service. they were all out there in the driving rain, most of them standing there without any shield to the weather besides their uniforms. i like how they sang abide with me. i didn't know it was a vancouver remembrance day tradition, but i like it. i was moved and shed a tear or two and sent a little prayer out for our country and the people who defend us now, and who peace keep and who put their lives in danger. i'm glad we have a day like remembrance day.
at 11:30 i was padding through the kitchen on my way to my bedroom when my phone rang. it was steve. we had a good talk about a wide range of things from the shows we're watching, movies, our relationship, his break up, and yadda yadda yadda.
after steve was lunch and then tania called and told me that now she did want to see water (she'd seen a commercial about it) so we decided to go that night and wendy came too. wow. water. i don't even know what to say about it. touching, powerful, sad, moving, beautiful, heart wrenching. there is so much to say about so many different things. but i won't say it here. you need to see it for yourselves first. it was the kind of movie that when it's over i feel resentful of anybody distrubing my trance of feelings and thoughts, the kind when i'm still alive in the movie and am reluctant to get up and leave when the credits start playing. tania and wendy and i talked about issues it raises a little on the way back and i surprised myself in the ways that i remembed things. i would say "well this character said it when they said this about that" and so on.
i was going to go to the karaoke party at barb's after the movie. karey was waiting at home for me, but i got a call from sarah. she and her two friends needed a place to stay for the night on their way to toronto. well i said she could stay with us and was going to leave them at the house while we were at the party but i forgot all about heather and sarita being home, and how uncomfy that would be for them, so i stayed home too. it was just as well i guess because karey was really tired and not in the most cheerful mood. i think that night our house we the fullest it's ever been over night. besides the five of us roommates, we had elicia's mom, linda sarita's sister who's been our unofficial 6th roommate these last couple of months while she's waiting to go back to the far east. sarah and her two friends. the air matress was taken and one couch was taken, so i put sarah and one friend on my bed and made up a bed on a teensy thin mattress on the floor for the other. and i fell asleep to season one of news radio.
saturday was even more lazy than friday. i did get up at quarter to six to drive sarah and her friends to the airport, but i went back to sleep in my own bed and slept until ten thirty. i got up, went for a run, came home ate, showered and let my hair dry pinned up all day. it's what i used to do when i had time to, and your hair looks so much better. you just have to look like a loser for much of the day (4 hours for me). i watched this show and that, all he while untagling yarn and picking new combos for new projects. elicia karey and i are all knitting right now so we all sat companionably and cozy in our living room at different times watching news radio and then geeks and freaks (brought by sher who was going out with karey later). and then i went to conference, came home and untangeld more yarn. it's been a quite but peaceful weekend. a nice one.
