The Weekend Was Here (re: strip poker)

Friday Night: "Stepford Wives" with Joy, Colin, and Steph (awful movie. a waste.) then off to BBJ's with Jess, Ford, Heather, some other wankers for some fun in the peanuts. Then off to Colin's house after closing for what? For Strip Poker.
I did pretty well at first. Most people were down to their underpants, and Joy was topless. Then I lost my shirt, then my pants, then my underpants. I got naked. Though someone else didn't get naked when it was due. No worries though. We all had sexy underpants!
Saturday Night: Party with the family! The maternal side. One of my aunt's just moved into a new place with my uncle, so there was a big meet and we got loaded. Joy and I almost killed an entire 40 of gin, and one table was all about politics and the paranormal, the living room was filled with boisterous laughter. Party went till 1 am.
Sunday: Brunch at a hotel. I had a parfait and a side of hashbrowns. Lots of eggs benny, porridge, skillets, coffee coffee coffee. Then my parents, Joy, Jon and I went to Lyle's place and bought each other CDs. I bought my father a Rod Stewart CD, a Jimmy Buffet CD, and a group called Huffamoose. I received The Smiths from Joy (which is awesome) and my mother bought Joy a Kelly Deal CD, with a little help from yours truly. I also bought a Cat Stevens album and What's Up Bro for myself.
At brunch, an aunt came up to me a slid a twenty dollar bill into my hand. I like family. I hated family last year.

I'm suddenly very disallusioned with seeing movies in the theatre. It costs way too much and it's all American Propaganda. I'm just waiting for a movie where Canada joins some sort of war because a new leader realized Canada's role for our southern counterparts. I wouldn't mind if it was cheap, but $8.25 for the "Stepford Wives" makes me feel oozy and ill. And to think, when you see a movie in the theatre, you're basically voting for that type of movie to play, like it or not.

I think Michael and I keep voting for werewolf movies, because there's a werewolf in every fricking movie we see together. Yesterday, we watched Harry Potter's latest (werewolf professor), and that morning we'd watched _Big Fish_ (And, for no apparent reason, the Danny Devito Circus ringmaster character was revealed to be - a werewolf).

Tonight it's Cinecenta for "Eternal Sunshine yadda yadda." Kaufman. Kaufman. Kaufman.

We watched "Rosemary's Baby" last night. Oh - oh oh. Wow. I need to rent a lot of Polanski. Also watched a Drew Barrymore piece of trash -- "Doppleganger". Sort of a spin-off of "Rosemary's" in a way, but far worse. Drew was good, though.

Yeah ... Drew's tits were good. At least that seemed to be the focus of every rottentomatoes.com review I read.
