Is it hot in here?

An honest to goodness day off, with some lounging, errands, and maybe a movie too. You know, at an actual theater. A pretty cush (though long) week. Broke new records on the temp front, and it's just too damn cold to do ANYTHING. Cara had the day off Friday and I decided to head in to work for at least half the day. The truck was none too happy with it being -24F on the morning drive. Either was I. Took care of biz and swung by the apt in the afternoon to pick up Cara for some lunch and thrifting Waverly style.

Highpoint of the 3-day weekend so far? The show at the Hydrant last night. It's not that I feel old, it's that I feel sorry for these college chumps that have never heard Michael Jackson's "Beat It", or half the other karaoke staples I've come to expect. Fernando worked one out for us though- Huey Lewis "If this is it"; not too bad. Back to the highpoint, though. After umpteen Lit and Garth Brooks variations, someone had the balls to sing Milsap's Lost in the Fifties Tonight. Before the guy got a chance to get two words out F made it very clear to the patrons that if he heard one boo they would be OUT. That shit don't fly here. And this fellow did a very nice job with it. Second highpoint? Two freshman(?) chumps thought they were singing some song from Toy Story and ended up with James Taylor's You've Got a Friend. Oh yeah, and how can I forget the three of us on the dancefloor to Sisqo? Notice I omitted names. 

More later.
