so it snowed this weekend. a lot. friday night, jorn and i went to harvard square for mexican food, and when we were on our way home it started. it didn't stop till sometime yesterday. on saturday, i only left the house to go pick up my suit from the cleaners and stop at blockbuster for some snowed-in entertainment. i got ed wood and kiki's delivery service. ed wood was awesome--now i want to see plan 9 from outer space--and kiki's was also really good, except for the defectiveness of the dvd that made it cut out the last five minutes. that was very disappointing. the extras disc had the entire movie in the original sketches, so we watched the last five minutes of that and got an idea at least of what happens at the end, but it's still frustrating. we're planning on taking it back for a refund (and eventually buying a copy, so dann will get to watch it someday, seriously).
buffy season 5 shipped yesterday. not sure how, since i didn't think it was arriving out till tomorrow, but i'm not complaining. i want my buffy.
on sunday miles picked me up and we went out to braintree to see amy & josh while they were in town. we hung out at dunkin donuts for an hour or so. it was definitely better than not seeing them at all, i'll tell you that much. when i got back, i decided to investigate the car situation to see how feasible it would be for me to make it to my interview today. the guys from the third floor had dug out two-thirds or so of the driveway, nicely, so all i had to do was dig out the rest back to the garage to my car, which, being in the garage, wasn't covered with snow at all. so i borrow a shovel from the guys upstairs, let them know we'll need to do the car dance later that night, and start digging. of course i had grabbed the heavier shovel, and i haven't used any of my muscles in six months, so i got tired out really fast. i hardly was able to do half of what needed to get done. at this point i realized i probably should give up and reschedule the interview, but i was stubborn, so i went up to ask jorn to help me. he grabs the other shovel and we start working together, but there wasn't a lot of room and i was shivering from the cold (had taken my coat off before) and shaking from being tired and not strong. so he sent me inside to warm up, and he finished it himself. i felt so bad. he did a really good job, too. when i got in, i was upset (me? upset? no way), and dylan said he'd go out and help jorn shovel. when jorn came in, i asked if dylan had been helping him, and jorn said, well i passed him on my way in... it turned out dylan had gotten outside and decided to do the front walk instead of the driveway. the sidewalk is quite nice now, though.
so jorn took a shower and sarah farbo came over and we went to amy & alyssa's to watch Angels in America part 1. it was good. of course. it was perfect. the scene where harper and prior share a hallucination was just beautiful, and the scene where prior/louis and harper/joe break up simultaneously was so amazingly well done. we were all crying. i also loved the scene where harper arrives in antarctica. her delusion is so heartbreaking and beautiful. i can't wait for next week. and hey, slogging through the snow with jorn and sarah was fun.
when we got back, i found that sarah from downstairs had brought her corolla home from wherever it was and left it in the driveway. so i got jorn and asked him to move it, and then went up to the third floor to get ben to move his and his girlfriend's cars. it was not quite midnight, but they had gone to bed and didn't want to do the car dance then. i lent him the spare key to downstairs sarah's car, so that his girlfriend could get out at 5:00 am when she needed to leave, and we agreed to meet at 7:30 to do the car dance then. ben even said he would move both his car and downstairs sarah's so i could switch mine out. i was skeptical of this plan--the car dance never seems to go well in my experience--but this morning he was ready to go at 7:30. he pulled out downstairs sarah's car, then came back and moved his. i backed out (the driveway is now even more narrow with all the snow, and i would've clipped off my driverside mirror if i hadn't done that already), and went around the block, and by the time i got back, ben's car was in the garage and downstairs sarah's was in the driveway. i parked mine, and i'm not worried about getting it out again in a few hours for the interview. this whole process has reminded me once again how i didn't want a job i had to drive to. but we'll see how the interview goes today.
overall, i had a surprisingly good weekend, with just a few bad notes. and i'm pretty awake for as little sleep as i got last night. i hope i get a job this week.
in other news, i'm sore from shoveling yesterday. my back, mostly, but also my arms, and thighs and tummy a little. i bet jorn is really sore. i'm not sure how to make it up to him and let him know how much i appreciated him doing that. i'll do laundry tonight--his favorite clothes got all gross in the shoveling--and maybe make a nice dinner. i wish i had thought to put chicken soup in the crock pot. maybe tomorrow.
