Busy Buzzy Bumblebee, but evil.

Wasps!

I had a busy weekend. It was supposed to be a relaxing non-busy one! But I got texts on Friday afternoon informing me that a friend (squash) was in Wellington and that another friend (bean) was on her way to Wellington. She was coming down to spend time with him while he was up for a conference. I had sort of vaguely absorbed the fact that he was in Wellington this weekend earlier on in the week, and I knew that she was thinking of coming down to visit, but it didn't become real until about 5pm Friday.

So I spend a lot of time on Sat and Sunday with them hanging out and attending movies and getting my eyebrows threaded again (thinner this time and I like it!). We went and saw Jersey Girl, the Kevin Smith movie with Ben Affleck and JLo, she dies quite early on in it. It was mostly about him dealing with being a single parent. It was cute, but I would have gotten as much out of it watching it on video. The little girl was really a mini-JLo! It wasn't as edgy or ridiculous as his movies often are. It was just nice. Except for the random Liv Tyler being a grad student doing her thesis on family men who watch porn. Bizarre.

Had dinner on Saturday evening at Beau's house and dragged Bean along with me. They are so neat, letting me bring friends over. I should really have taken her to go visit my parents, but then I probably would have hardly seen Beau at all.

Bean also went to 2 different flatwarmings with me. One, briefly on Friday night, which was kinda weird as we were originally invited to it as Beau's friend's flat, but then we bumped into a Otago buddy who is also flatting there. The really weird part is that he is also Bean's ex. There was almost as many Otago ppl at that flat warming as there were Wellingtonians. Some, like Beau and me are both!

Saturday night was another flatwarming for friend's of Beau and I. Probably the most exciting thing that evening was the alien porn we watched. Bean didn't watch much of it, but did get pretty drunk, although she assures me, not That Drunk. I'm not sure how drunk That Drunk, is but it might involve throwing up and I am glad she didn't get That Drunk. I got tipsy and managed to follow most of the porn plot. It was pretty weak, but there you go. Oh dear, I just realised I'm gonna get people finding my blog after googling 'alien porn'.

Nevermind.

Went to Jenni's on Sunday, Squash and Bean also came along. Matt and Debz were there too! Jenni read us stories and fed us cake, then Bean headed back up north. Squash stayed for a game of Trivial Pursuit. I always think I like TP but then it takes ages to finish and I got very tired and floppy. Eventually we went home.

My hair is very long and needs a cut.

My telling of tale is making me tired now! Must get enough energy to teach a class, go supermarket shopping and do some marking. Booooooo!
