This weekend was honestly a great time. It feels good to be able to say that without any reservations.
I got out of work early on Friday night and went over to my one friend's house, who I haven't really hung out with since he graduated back in '01 or so. Just some drinking and watching of "Kung-Fu Hustle" (quite a trip while you're drunk) and then "Ghostbusters," which we spent more time quoting out loud to each other than watching. Good times.
Saturday I spent doing absolutely nothing, outside of fashioning a Nick Cave mix I've been promising to a guy at work forever. I'm not entirely happy with it, but it's a decent enough primer on the Seeds.
And then Sunday was spent with said college buddy and a couple of his friends. One of them owns a speedboat, so we took that out for the day. Perfect weather, a healthy dose of rum, and this awesome little dockside bar/restaurant visit at night made for one of the best days I've had in recent memory. I so want a boat of my own now. Talk about pipe dreams!
On a side note, while listening to Primal Scream's Vanishing Point album today, I realized it'd be great to fashion an animated film revolving around the music of the album. Sort of a '70s cop show meets futuristic, Cowboy Bebop-type style. Ah, more pipe dreams.
Today's lyrics:
Primal Scream - "Medication"
I get sick of living in the city
Everyone's a liar and a thief
If the cancer don't
The taxman's gonna get you
If the women don't
The doctors let you bleed
I don't wanna hang around with you
Don't wanna see you burn
I don't wanna see you turn blue
I wanna see the sun
Gimme, gimme, gimme medication
Gimme medication to cure this hole
Gimme, gimme, gimme medication
Gimme medication to cure this, cure this hol
Everyone's steppin' on each other
Shootin', snortin', smokin' all they can
I wish that blood was thicker than water
'Cause drinkin' dirty water kills a man

I've been thinking about Ghostbusters a lot the past few weeks. I'm dying to see it again. I LOVE that movie.

Upon stopping at the dreaded Wal-Mart after work tonight, I found out a new two-disc set with both movies was just released. Too cool. Much restraint was used to keep from purchasing it immediately.
