eyesthatslayWednesday nite was so much fun! It has become the highpoint of my week, with getting to hang out with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
angstchic, and the added bonus of pre-ep chats with amoonchilde we are like 3 peas in a pod....insane peas that is. :)
This nite was extra special in more ways than one....
First off The Great American Smoke Out.angstchic's hubby is quitting smoking, and when I got to their house....it is *full* of smoke from the grilling of the burgers. It was so smoky that now *I* need to quit smoking. Well, he and I were all squinty and whining about the smoke, and angstchic insists that the kitchen vent has a bird's nest in it, hence the lack of ventilation. We decide to investigate the said vent. We get to the back of the house and he opens up the vent cover. It is about 7 or so feet off the ground, and he asks me if I can see anything in it. I look at him like he is crazy, he is 6' 3", and I'm 5' 7". How the heck can I see in there if he can't, and I say so. So he gets this brilliant idea. He tells me to stand on his back. I tell him there is no way I'm going to attempt acrobatics and get myself killed. He insists that he is completely sturdy and talks me into giving it a go. Here we are in the back yard at night, and he is on his hands and knees and I hop gingerly onto his back. Well, let me tell you *big* mistake people. *Don't try this at home*. He may have been sturdy, but his shirt & skin pulled a Shar-Pei on my butt. My feet start zinging around on his back and I'm working all these surfer moves to keep my balance. He is telling me to quit fooling around and look in the vent, and I'm just trying not to die. I finally make a wild grab for the vent and peek inside, and no bird's nest. Mission accomplished. Meanwhile, during this entire episode angstchic is in the kitchen wondering why our voices are coming through the walls. That was one *interesting* aspect of the evening. Then we ate our burgers (which were worth the smoke), and her hubby/surf board left to go visit her Dad.
The other great thing was that I really enjoyed the episode. It was amazing! It had the depth of emotion that made it riveting. AD was great, and the nuances of his complicated relationship with his father were intense. I think it is nice how each actor is getting to suss out their role in shows geared to showcase their character. It is good to get to know each better. The scene where he shot his father the moment he dared to touch Fred gave me goosebumps. His reaction was so immediate, and unflinching, yet it made him ill afterwards. Very powerful IMHO. I am looking forward to the next episode. Things look good to me from here.
Then after the episode, we were just hanging out andangstchic clicks on 80's hour on VH-1. We amused ourselves by heckling the heck out of the cheesy videos. Guitarist channeling the muppet Animal, David Bowie looking as if his underwear is too tight, etc.. Good clean fun, right? Then a video this band shows up, Black Oak Arkansas. OMG! The song was "Hot & Nasty", and the lead singer (the guy with the star belt buckle) is prancing around in *skin tight* white spandex pants complete with obvious package (which was promptly dubbed "the hamster") with fringed leather boots, no shirt, and hair down to his butt. It was truly a riot. The man could *not* sing or dance, but he didn't let that stop him or his hamster. He grated out words that neither one of us could understand, ending each string of guttral gibberish with the one word we could decipher. !@#!@ %^#$% @!##$ $%^%@$*...NASTY! Bahaaaaaa! angstchic started imitating his singing while I accompanied by acting out his dance moves and placing a pointy candy jar lid in the vicinity of the hamster . We. were. rolling. Tears sprouted, snorting, the whole nine yards. I eventually fell over on the couch because I could no longer sit up from lack of oxygen. I don't know if I have *ever* laughed so hard in my life. It was truly the funniest fricking video I have *ever* seen. We both physically hurt we laughed so much. I can safely say it was an evening to live in infamy.
