Sunday Laziness

I tend to be quite lazy on Sundays...sometimes to the point of not seeing daylight all day. This is the case with today--it's 3:40 and my biggest accomplishment of the day has been watching the 1st two episodes of Six Feet Under, Season Three. I'm annoyed though--the first two episodes sucked. I LOVe Peter Krause but I refuse to continue watching the seasons on DVD if the rest of the seaosn three episodes are as bad as this one.

On a side note, I have no idea how I will cope with Sunday laziness when I have kids. Will Sunday laziness cease to exist? I hope not....

I feel proud of myself though- actually "did stuff" this weekend. On Friday, saw my friend from "down the Shore" [i am originally from "down the Shore" and it cracks me up when people use that phrase up here in North Jersey] and we saw a cover band. This eccentric guy (not IN the band, but an audience member) was dressed up as Albert Einstein; I guess that was his schtick. He was walking around the bar and dancing. Funny thing is I told a friend about this guy---she said that she saw this guy at a show (same cover band) last year... he must be a pseudo-groupie!

Last night, I went to see a metal band. My friend bought tickets and had no one to go with-- I offered to go. She's always so sweet and generous-- if she wanted to stare at the ceiling for 3 hours and wanted a friend to be there with her, I'd most likely say "yes." The band was called Mastodon and although I plan on never listening to their music in my free time or buying any of their CDs, it was AMAZING to watch them on stage. Watching kids crowd surfing was interesting too. Two kids circumvented the security guards who were catching the crowd surfers---these two kids ended up on the stage---the security guards held them by their necks (like it was right out of a movie) and "tossed them out."

If I wasn't a teacher, I think I'd make a good "professional people watcher." I get entranced by watching people and seeing how they interact with one another.

Also--- note to any single people out there: metal shows are the PLACE to meet men. The ratio of men to women was somewhere in the range of 50:1. Most of the guys at this show were fairly good looking. We're not talking 'bout 80s hair metal fans...I don't know what kind of metal Mastodon is known for... but in the crowd I mostly saw guys with nice, normal hair and good goatees :) I saw this one guy who had on a 70s-ish yellow cardigan with cordoroy pants. He definitely stood out a bit.

Is there such a thing as a good goatee?

Two things -- Six Feet Under Season Three gets better. (I am realizing I watch WAY too much television...)

Second, people watching is the best thing in the world. If you figure out a way to make a living from it, please let me know. Professor and researcher is as close as I've been able to get. : )
