I was on the phone with my mother late last night, and she said, “I noticed you stopped blogging.”
To that, I was like, “Geez, Mom, I just didn’t write yesterday. Work is very busy, and I had a completely non-eventful weekend.”
“You didn’t do anything at all this weekend?”
“It was a wash. I mean, except for the small party my neighbors threw, for which I made that awesome corn on the cob with the lime butter, and then I finished reading that book about what would happen to the world if people disappeared, I cleaned the house from top to bottom, I saw “The Simpsons Movie” with Birmingham (worth the price of admission, BTW,) met with Birmingham’s friends and stayed up all night playing cards, and had some diner brunch and then some alone time with Birmingham followed by some alone time with me to rest my swollen knee (taking back all the nice things I said about Nike+iPod, it causes you to run to hard,) and went to Tucker & Flick’s place to play geeky board games, and on the way out seriously injured my knee (the hurt one) on the corner of The Dutchess of Kickball’s SUV. Oh, and I finished reading the galley of the Steve Martin autobiography.”
“So are you going to go back to work on Saturdays again?”
“Well SOMETHING has to break the monotony of my weekends, and then maybe I’ll have something to write about again.

Ha! Your weekends sound like mine. I’m always like, “Bah! My weekends are so boring! I only went 40 kajillion places and watched 10 movies and saw half my friends and zipped off to Europe for the afternoon. When will something interesting happen to me?!”

A “wash”, huh? I won’t even tell you how little I did. Way to make me feel lame, Christmas Tree. Thanks.

wow….you did way more than I did….huh…
I think it’s cute that your mom reads your blog, though I would be mortified if my mom read mine….

Yeah, that sounds like a pretty action-packed weekend to me. Please describe for us what your “busy” weekend would be like. I want to feel even more like a slug.

I loved the Simpsons movie. Loved. So, um, even though we don’t see eye-to-eye on the whole Harry Potter thing, can we still be friends?
Also, per your title, did you like that one? I enjoyed Shopgirl well enough (the book was definitely better than the movie), but The Pleasure of My Company didn’t really do much for me.

We just saw the Simpson’s movie too–at the drive-in! I highly recommend the movie AND the venue. Both were better than I had anticipated.

NPW – Yeah, if I don’t have plans ahead of time, it’s like it didn’t happen at all…
aaron – not feeling lame is half the battle.
stiletto – she was one of my first readers, and that means censorship from day 1!
lizgwiz – my busy weekends mostly involved me working for 8 hours at my second job. Only having one day of the weekend really cuts down on the relaxation time.
stefanie – some of my best friends don’t read HP, so that would be fine. I liked Shopgirl a lot, and POMC had a special place for the small part of me that gets OCD.
kelli – I drive by a cornfield on the way to and from work and think about picking fresh corn all the time.
sadie – It’s playing at the drive-in near me, but Birmingham was against the idea. Oh well.
