{friday 5's for friday the 13th}

TGIF!  all I can say about this week is: it was a long one.  and a hot one.   so, because no one likes to stand around and wait in the heat, i'll just jump right in.  welcome to the not-very-spooky Friday-the-thirteenth edition of Friday 5's, where I list 5 things that made me happy this week. 

#13. girls-only brunch at Mother's Bistro last Sunday: Emmy, Heidi, Sharon, Holly & Tif.  For some reason, most of us look like we had a really late Saturday night...  but, Em looks well rested.  Maybe that's because she fell asleep on her couch at 1o'oclock p.m.  I know.  I was there, hanging out with her, when she did it.

#13.  Seeing Dusty & DJ's film "Vacation in Italy" at the Pazzo Short Shorts short film screening Sunday night.  My immediate reply to the invite was, "I want to support DJ.  But 9 p.m. is late for a Sunday."  Tif convinced me to go ["we'll only stay an hour, I swear..."] and I'm so glad she did - it was a treat to get to see DJ's work.

Here's the film.  It's 6 minutes long.  It's awesome.

And here's Dusty & DJ .

#13. i had so much fun with Tif at the Tea Zone, a tea shop on NW 11th & Glisan - they show free movies every Tuesday, and their theme this month is vampires; too cool!  This Tuesday's movie was Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  Hee hee.  Oh my goodness... we had a blast quoting lines along with the actors, and the herbal tea-of-the-day, Organic Rooibis Africana, was fantastic over ice. 

The most fun, though, was discovering there were actors in this movie we had no idea had starred in it ... including Hillary Swank as Kristy Swanson's ditzy friend; David Arquette as Luke Perry's friend-turned-vampire Benny,  and Ben Affleck (as basketball player #10) ... oh, wait, and the other most fun part?  debating which line Hillary Swank regrets the most.  My vote: "Get out of my facial."

#13.  getting pedicures with Emmy... champagne, pink polish, & two hours of gossip.  fabulous.

#13.  still pretty psyched about my 13 mile bike ride last Saturday... took the Springwater Corridor down to Sellwood for a class on bike maintenance... I really enjoyed it, and I completed it without injuring myself!  [have you seen that bruise on my leg from my first ride?  even strangers comment on it; one girl called it "gnarly."  haven't heard that word in years.]

yup, that's 5.  happy friday.

I might have to buy that movie. When it was fresh, my friend and I watched it several times in a row. And then we watched it backwards. I'll put it on after "Footloose". Bought that one on Friday. heh.
