Friday night i went out with my sister. Out! I never go out, it has never been my thing. (Ugh, and this morning my sister has suggested that she will start getting me out, OMG, No.)
Anyhow, we went Out Friday night, first for food which was Thai green papaya salad and prawns wrapped and fried like spring rolls. Then to a hole in the wall in Durham called the Pinhook in which very very loud music was played beyond my ability to understand what i was hearing. We were out late, but not egregiously late. But all Saturday i was in a blur. It's like i was very very hung over? Except i had consumed no alcohol. I dunno. Interesting people watching, felt a bit anthropological, happy to be in a queer friendly space but i am boring.
Music was Ghösh ("a nü jungle, digital hardcore, US grime band from Philadelphia formed in 2018") and Screaming Females (Marissa Paternoster's voice is incredible).
Last night Christine and i played gin rummy and i won my second game in three turns: an excellent knock, a 4 point knock, and then gin. I was tired and felt my self phasing in and out, and the second game wrapped up pretty quickly with Christine winning - gin twice? Anyhows. My sister has threatened to come over and play with us and so i won't go out again until she comes over and plays cards.
I really am ... curious about my current fuzzy feeling. Driving to my sister's on Friday i phased out a bit too. Sick? Or is doing something so very different a trigger for me to spin out? I still feel ... congested-ish?
(Side note: was delighted with the vaccine check and mask requirements at Pinhook, also delighted with it's safer space, queer and Black friendly vibe.)
In random watching news, Christine and i are watching Amazing Hotels. We had gotten quite delighted with the TV show Grand Designs. For me, growing up with my parents building our homes, there's some resonance. For Christine, it opened up her eyes to what can go into creating a home. We ran out of episodes and have since looked for things to fill the gap: this is our current filler. The restaurant critic presenter doesn't impress me, but i do enjoy the chef presenter.
I binged on four episodes of "Our Flag Means Death" when i was in a procrastination depression: i was entertained. I spent much time scrolling through the Twitter threads as fans call a second season.
Christine and i have been watching "Painting with John" (John Lurie). It has introduced me to John's Marvin Pontiac music (which i now love) and his water colors (which i now love). If you have HBOmax and you like the quirky, you should give this show a chance.
