Alleged suicides and bad shooters with moles
High-scoring words of the night so far:
SUPRA (290 points) - against Christie M. [4W, 3W, 2W]
IS (4W; hook off SEIZE for a plural), OAT (250 points; two 5W) - against Erin S.
FOAMY (137 points) - against Margaret E. [2W, 4W; hook off GOODS to make AG and YO]
Went to the townhouse just in time to discover my parents going out for dinner and a movie. Mom asked Eric what Australia was about... good thing he can be deadpan in his replies! ("... Australia.") They left with a bunch of advice: James Bond: Quantum of Solace (which they ended up seeing), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and Gran Torino. She gave me some more candy, heh... the Hershey's Miniatures that we opened during the show (about 300g left?), 99g of Baskin Robbin's hard mint chocolate chip candies, and 72 pieces of Chiclets fruit-flavored gum. Looked up some things on Facebook, and then looked up Doctor Who on Wikipedia at the guys' request: a 400-hour marathon would consume a LONG time! Helped with some dishes, and listened to Nathan's weird computer music. Had Northern bean soup, butternut squash with cilantro, some cheese (including a creamy Brie-like one), Mistletoe Ale from the Bushwakker (Regina), Le Freak beer, barley wine, chocolate, Asian coleslaw with LOTS of soy sauce and lettuce, and tuna noodle casserole.
We started dinner at around 7:20, welcoming Steph downstairs and Phil / Grace / Christon inside. Discussed previous seasons, Asian coleslaw being a fusion food since people like my grandma never eat raw vegetables, sleep, the bylaw meeting, Grace's Chicago friends liking sweet and sour pork / General Tso's chicken, Fellowship, Steph loving white Chinese food, Viv's experience at Viva Java ("Not Kitty... MAMA!"), coffee Nazis, Steveston Pizza, pizza Nazis (NO SUBSTITUTIONS IN RECIPE ALLOWED!), and other stuff. With ten minutes left to go till showtime, Eric vocalized what I was thinking during the previous time check, and suggested we turn on the muted TV. Then Nathan changed the music on his laptop to "classical music so we can have sophisticated conversation" - we put on snooty accents while talking about Regina beer, and having Danielle and Cordia be "bootleggers" for us when they're in town for Citrus' grad. (Steph had to buy a mini-suitcase just for Jon's booze, haha)
As soon as the show started, we told everyone to shut up. An abduction of an innocent guy, the female president Allison Taylor, her son being an alleged suicide, her husband Henry being "bad" (twisting his son's girlfriend's arm because of offshore account deposits of $400K), and the made-up African country's president being bad. There was also Tony Almeida (who used to be Jack's best friend) coming back from the dead and siding with the terrorists, the FBI (which was compromised) not being as good as CTU, Jack Bauer getting questioned in front of the Senate, a near-miss of two planes at JFK, the terrorists mimicking air traffic control, FBI agent Renee Walker lying to Larry Moss, Jack detecting a fake FBI agent (really the shooter of the guy they were interrogating at the time) by his SHOES alone, and more! During the commercial breaks, Steph was washing five dishes at a time as part of de-stressing... good thing they were relatively long for these two hours! Saw commercials for various upcoming movies, too.
By the time my parents got back to say that there were several sold-out movies (LOTS of people at the theatre on a random Sunday night?!), we had pretty much cleaned up and were all clustered around the computer while Nathan looked up hockey pool stats. Steph was surprised that Golden was kicking the veterans' butts, heh. She also said that she wouldn't answer any of Mom's questions about the premiere until Mom had seen the whole two-hour premiere WITHOUT fast-forwarding through everything she didn't want to see. Nathan and Eric looked up the Golden Globes winners, and discussed a movie where monogamy was NOT the way for a couple to co-exist peacefully: Vicky Cristina Barcelona seems interesting. Kate Winslet won for both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress - oh my!
We all corrected Nathan when he said we'd have to wait till next week for more: TOMORROW! After these four hours, we'll be suffering withdrawal - what Steph told Jeremy is very true! Since Eric is staying home tomorrow, I should too. Thank goodness, really... I need time to decompress! (the only thing I gotta do tomorrow is grocery shopping, which is sorely needed) Discussed BLADE RUNNER / BATTLESTAR GALACTICA / ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT on the way home with Eric, Jeremy, and Nathan. Iconic movie I watched last night, heh. (Jon says I should watch FIREFLY so I can say I've seen something with an actress named Summer in it - hahaha, sounds like JUST my rationale!)
Steph, summing up tonight: "So all we have to do to get my parents to go out is invite a whole bunch of people over?! We should do that more often, so they can rekindle the romance in their marriage! It was so good to see everyone!"

You Are a Hat With Flaps |
 You are fun-loving, cheerful, and even pretty cute most of the time. You use fashion to play. You never take style all that seriously. You're the type most likely to wear a funny T-shirt or goofy hat. But when it comes time to clean up, you clean up nicely. |
