Night o' fun

[icepixie]

Saw Life of Brian at Snowden tonight with Ellen, Peter, and various other people I didn't really know, but who may or may not have been affiliated with the Canterbury club, which sponsored the event. Hee. I'd seen the first ten or fifteen minutes before, but never the whole thing--had no idea that "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" came from that movie.

Then Peter, Allyson, Valerie, Marta, Steve and I ended up in Allyson and Valerie's room for the next two hours singing while Peter played the keyboard. We did everything from showtunes (Phantom, Cats, Rent, Ragtime...) to pop to new age, goggling all the while that Peter was able to play everything by ear.

I love that I have a large group of friends, including the people mentioned above and many others, who will actually end up doing something like that on a Saturday night instead of going to parties down south. I love that most, if not all, of us plan to get some work done tonight as well--Saturday night. I love that I have a bunch of dorks like myself to hang out with. :)

That said, off to Act Two of The Playboy of the Western World.

You were really missing out on a lot. Aside from "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life," there's the Romans searching the house ("We're not done hiding yet!") and Brian "curing" the man who hadn't spoken in [Whatever number of years it had been. It's been a while since I've seen the movie.] years.

Excellent movie. Nearly as good as Holy Grail.
