On Thursday, my manager was one second away from asking if I could work on Saturday, but I beat him to it and said that I couldn’t. We had a calm discussion and I told him that we need to sort out our working Saturdays ahead of time. He said he didn’t know I was doing anything, but quickly recovered by saying “I need to realize people have lives.” I didn’t tell him that the bulk of my weekend activities was to go to a garage sale on Saturday morning and then laze around as much as possible for the rest of my weekend. But why should I hide that? It’s my time to do whatever I want, no matter how anti-wild it is. So he worked on Saturday and next Saturday will be my time to work. That’s fine. But I hate that last-minute crap he pulls.
Anyway, here are some movies I was able to catch on TV this weekend:
“Brokeback Mountain” (Interesting movie for sure. Had a hard time understanding Heath Ledger’s character sometimes, because of how he delivered his lines, but all of the acting from everyone was excellent)
“Batman” (the first one with Michael Keaton)
“Plains, Trains and Automobiles”
“Shaun of the Dead”
“The Birdcage” (Can’t get enough of that movie)
“The Miracle Worker” (I didn’t realize all this time that I got the channel called Turner Classic Movies-TCM, but I’ll be checking it out more often. “The Miracle Worker”, the story about Helen Keller, is one of my favorites)
“The Color Purple” (this must’ve been my bazillionth time watching this one and it still makes me cry - but I love it)
“Bridget Jones’s Diary”
“The Langoliers” (As much as I could stomach, which wasn’t even enough to get me to a commercial. Then I came to my senses and changed the channel.)
My apartment complex was having a garage sale on Saturday, and I found more movies (a dollar a piece):
“The Ref” and “Saving Silverman”
Oh! And on Friday I went to a nearby town with my mom, met up with my brother and one of his sons to see his other son, my nephew, play trumpet for a community band! They performed inside a gazebo at Coe Lake in Berea, Ohio. It was their last concert for the Summer. They all played really well. Especially my nephew, but I’m not biased or anything.
