Busy, busy weekend. Haven't seen "The Vikings" in years so it was delightful to get to watch it with a bunch of folks who'd never seen it before. And who wears short-shorts? Tony Curtis wears short-shorts!
Saturday Aelf and I earned some positive karma points helping![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mallen clean up the old apartment. I did give us both some serious ideas about cleaning our own place. Wow, who knew how much filth could accumulate underneath a fridge...
Afterwards we met up withtersa for X2, I'll ramble about that a bit below, but for now I can just say it easily blew away the first one in terms of plot, characterization, dialogue, etc. Go see this movie! And then go see it again. I'm planning one more viewing this week if I can squeeze it in somewhere.
Zoomed home afterwards to do a small ceremony (wasn't entirely content with the one I did for Beltane), and then I spent about an hour dancing on my solo piece. I quite literally danced better than I think I ever have in my life that night so I just couldn't bring myself to stop. Finally my body said, "Ok, time to stop now." Still, I was well pleased with the work and workout.
Sunday we met with the troupe, had a bit of brunch, and then mapped out our plans for the next month or so. Listened to some music for possible future choreographies, then went up to RWC to meet Laini, the veil lady. Oh my did she have gorgeous veils to show us. Too many. I went in with the intention of buying a set of lame veils for troupe use and walked away with two sets. Well one and a half, she's making me a black one as well. But they were so gorgeous! I couldn't help myself, I really couldn't. I think all of us ended up with fantastic colors and conveniently enough, the ability to mix and match them among one another. Now to learn how to handle lame...
Then went over toelo_sf's place where we chatted for a bit, then hit Home Depot. I got him started on the fine art of herb growing while picking up a gorgeous honeysuckle vine for myself. Oh it smells heavenly! I'm going to take some time to replant that sucker this week. I need to get a trellis of some sort to train it up. Then we swung by Houlihan's for some very tasty soup and mini-desserts. Yum! We also discovered that one of E's cats has a thing for verbena...go figure.
Headed home with the intention of working on our duet choreography and ended up crashing instead. I think the weekend just caught up with both of us last night, and we swore to one another to try to do better this week.
