apprentice, and other such fun

yay weekend!

this afternoon, i caught up on last night's TV... joey was fun... apprentice was disappointing to me... i'd never seen so little teamwork as the beginning of the show and networth never really did pull anything off... erin's a skilled debater, but she was rather ridiculous this episode... i'm just glad angie didn't get fired from that team... in the long run she's so much less silly than stephanie, erin, or chris... so, so long erin, oh well.

arlene, scott, leigh, and me also watched the pilot episode of "the office" from last night too... it was such a bizarre show... we laughed our heads off at parts, but it was just strange. i'll probably watch a couple more before i decide if it's a permanent fixture in my TV list or not.

church tonight was good... as was last night. the temporary pastor actually gives clear focused sermons on the weeknight services... i just wish he'd pretend it was a midweek evening service some sundays so that we'd get a focused message more consistently then too :-P

last night, i was home for less than 10 minutes to eat dinner AND change for church before i was back in the car (since i had class til 5:30 and needed to be there early for altar guild)... paul suggested we go to a diner for dinner after too, since we were both rushed and hungry, so we had a good chat over sandwiches around 9:30 last night... just me and him... it was a good break in a hectic couple of days.

tonight, arlene came too (last night she was hanging out with eric),... first we had an entertaining dinner with scott... and then went to church... arlene liked my church a lot. she grew up in an elca church and attends various churches sporadically now that she's in school and travels some with ultimate frisbee teams, etc. she's excited to come back with me and paul on sunday too :-)

when arlene and i got home from church, ben was over playing scrabble with leigh, and when they finished we all watched "monsters inc", which arlene had never seen before, so that was quality.

tomorrow, she, eric, and i are going up to NYC... spending most of the day in the natural history museum, but seeing "hairspray" on broadway at night... it should be a fun time... but eric will be here to head in 1 car to the train in 8 hours, so that means i'm up in 7... oi... night y'all. :-P
