But good.
I went to the Village on Friday night and lo, it was awesome. I totally guessed the twist, which makes me a smart Jenni. Smarter than Lee who did not guess!
It was spooky and creepy and very well done. I love M. Night Shyamalan, he's cuch a coool movie director. Last night I watched Signs and some of the extras and he cited Hitchcock as an influence and I thought "Yeah. They are similar."
On Saturday I paid some more off my graphic novel lay-by (one more payment to go, Woot!) and got a new belt. Lee retrieved his bag which he had left at the cinema.
Then I did belly dancing. It was awesome fun although I got tired very fast with the no-stamina and on Sunday I was achy from the bird flying arm movements and the squatting down and trying to shimmy. Revelation: I can't shimmy. The teacher told us to, and I tried and she looked at me and said "you know, some people can't shimmy straight away." Then I felt like a spastic stick insect whenever we were supposed to shimmy.
We did a dance with little finger cymbals and another two dances with veils which was very very fun although much spinning makes me want to fall down. I am going to take the next term's beginners class. (Mid October, prolly Thursday nights 8.40pm if'n you're interested in joining in with me.)
Then we did some hen's night stuff, went out for dinner, etc and I met all of V's lovely friends. I am looking forward to the wedding and hoping I'm sitting with some of the people I met!
Sunday we had to get up and not sleep in to tidy my house. My family came over. My parents came over 11am and Mum and I did scrapbooking while Lee and Dad played scrabble. (2 games, Dad won both). Then at 3ish my brother, sister-in-law and neice came to visit. Neice is delightfully playful and adorable.
I played peek-a-boo and poke-the-tongue-out-a-lot and baby-goes-woosh-on-the-swiss-ball.
Then my family left and I played a bit of Civ3 (note to self, don't provoke war with much stronger neighbour, you lose three cities that way!). Then I watched Signs as previously mentioned and then I read my Alex books and felt sick.
Had another shitty night's sleep. Wrist aching inexplicably. Lee tossing around because he's too hot with the blanket too cold without. Nose sneezy from pollen, etc. Weird dreams this morning top it all off.
