The Net Monkey

I managed to keep myself pretty busy this weekend.

Friday night, I went with Tony and Jason to see Dos Fallopia: Desperate Spuddwives at the Phoenix Theatre. It was put on by Lisa Koch and Peggy Platt, a local comedy duo, and made up almost entirely of several clever parodies, including a performance by Heartwood Mac — a combination of Heart and Fleetwood Mac. The entire second act was a reprise of their roles as a Judds-like country music duo called The Spudds.

Afterwards, the three of us made our way to the 501 for drinks, but the crowd was terrible (terribly old, actually) and I decided to go home after about an hour.

On Saturday, I went to a going away party for Andy and Lou. This was my last chance to see them before they departed for Southern California. I got to the party and there really wasn’t much happening — mostly just a bunch of big gay guys sitting around talking — but pizza arrived and that was good, and stuff.

After the party, I met up with Aaron and Doug for dinner. We had the usual meal at Thai Cafe, which was fabulous. I always love eating there. I had yum tofu, spring rolls, and panang curry. Mmm! I feel your jealousy all the way over here.

After dinner, we went back to Aaron and Doug’s and watched Hot Fuzz. This is the movie put out recently by the guys who did Shaun of the Dead. It’s very funny and clever, and dark in many silly ways.

Today was a bit more chill, comprising primarily of brunch, laundry, cleaning around the house, and taking my nephew Jake to see The Simpsons Movie. I’ve already seen it, but Jake wanted someone to take him, so I went ahead and did that. I’m such a good uncle.
