Holes, Queens, & Posers
Have you guys seen Holes? It was kinda cute. I wouldn’t watch it again but it was pretty good for a childrens movie from Disney. I don’t normally like much of the stuff Disney puts out, particularly the animation (excluding Pixar’s films of course). But that is what I watched on Friday. Afterwards I was feeling bored and restless and didn’t want to spend the night with Walt so I went out to the January Replacement bar and sat on a stool talking to strangers all night. I began with one woman whom I talked about Chicago with. Later I talked with Mardi and a couple film buffs. There is no shortage of supply of film buffs at this bar which always makes it interesting. Seems to be quite a few writers and other creative types which makes it that much better. Towards the end of the night some guy bought me shots for quoting lines from True Romance. This was too much and I went home shortly after.
On Saturday night I went over to my brothers for tacos. We went to Barracuda’s afterwards. I always thought it was a gaybar but I guess it’s not. However, it is open all night till breakfast on Sunday when a large after hours crowd supposedly comes in for a late night/early morning meal. We ended up drinking too much to stay all night for that. Thank God.
Instead we opted for the Bump & Grind Cafe’s Petticoat Bruncheon on Sunday morning. It’s a fun time in which all the staff are on the TG bend and “every order comes with a side of fruit”. I got the roast beef sandwhich which was, for a lack of better words, fabulous. Pandy got the Asian tofu which was also really good. I can’t believe this place has been around the corner from me and I never had brunch there. It was always dozens, well not anymore. Afterwards we all headed our separate ways and I went home and slept on the couch till about five in the pm. Then my brother and Pandy picked my up and we headed off to my mom’s for Sunday dinner. She fixed mexican casserole which I think is delish. We also watched SLC Punk which was pretty good “search for identity” type of movie. Because when it comes down to it, we’re all just a bunch of fucking posers anyway.

You know, I’m so impressed that you go to bars alone. I guess it’s different for guys. I wouldn’t go to a bar alone of course, but I don’t even go to a restaurant, or a movie alone. Yet, you always meet and talk to different people. What am I missing out on?

elizabeth - nice to know our schools are making their students read the same book 4 years in a row. what is that all about?
finelyspungirl - I don’t know, I’ve met plenty of girls at the bar alone. I eat lunch nearly everday on my own (with a book), and most dinners on my own. I haven’t gone to a movie on alone, yet, but that’s probably cause you don’t interact with people at movies so it would be boring. but don’t worry, your not missing out on anything really. in the wonderful words of The Motels: “Only the lonely can play“

I went to the drive-in alone once, to see Independence Day. God, what a terrible movie.
Thanks for stopping by my place. Let me know if you find any other good Denver/Colorado blogs.
