Friday night I learned that Scattergories is much more complicated/potentially violent than Hasbro would have you believe...and that playing this game makes some girls go CRAZY. This is exactly why I'm a Cranium man myself.
Chris, Marcus and I headed to Athens Saturday to check out Twilight Criterium and an acoustic set from a band that I'm sort of into, which was absolutely amazing. It was nice to see them have the chance to let their lyrics rush to the forefront. Isbell is gone [the amicability of the split is in question] but I still love them and I've got another great band to go see now. The price of alcohol at Athens bars never ceases to amaze & delight me...
Sunday brought a day of attempting to take full advantage of the beautiful weather w/ my favorite Athens attraction and then being lazier than I have been in a very long time, however forced it may have been - not too bad though, esp. considering that apparently I'm not too old to sleep in my truck after a night of partying away from home. I also knocked out 3.1 in 20 last night, not too bad considering my Saturday/night and lack of sleep, so I'll def. be shooting to beat that cinco de maya manana...wow I'm a dork.
I made my television debut today...or I guess I will when the episode airs in a year or so, not that I'll remember to look for it by then anyway. The part was pretty easy - for some reason acting like I'm at a house party and later being passed out before we all get kicked out of the house seems to come fairly natural ;) pantomiming stuff [even extremely common gestures] is still weird though. I was once again impressed by how hardcore extras are and the long hours they'll work for minimum wage - Hollywood sure is one alluring siren. The sculpture shop gig starts tomorrow, I'm really looking forward to learning more random skills through another cool & unique experience. We even have three dogs [Jack, Pabst, and Kayla] that hang out w/ us in the shop all day. We'll see how many jobs I can keep up w/...at this point I'm just looking forward to being slammed busy.
- the national + arcade fire tomorrow night -
