recap

Let's see...starting with Wednesday evening:

* unexpected evening of drinks at Rudy's, laughing, balloon sculptures, Jack'n'Cokes, lost cars, found cars, and new friends

* a non-traditional and very relaxing Thanksgiving, including green curry chicken, naps [okay, maybe that part was traditional], phone calls to friends and family, pizza for dinner, movies, chillin'

* Beowulf in 3D [definitely the way to see it...the movie was actually mediocre otherwise]

* going home and watching Luc Besson's 'Angel-A' and having it grow on us

* starting to leave, then talking more, then finally leaving only to discover that somehow two more hours had passed

* getting home at 4:30am :^)

* going back out at 6pm after finally hauling my hinder out of bed and the house

* cheap-but-good sushi

* seeing 'Hitman' [entertaining, fluffy, a bit inconsistent but then it wasn't meant to be high art]

* sharing music

* opening the bottle of port

* finishing the bottle of port

* heading out in the wee hours to get an audio cable so we could listen to more music

* setting the goal of staying awake through the 'dry' hours of 2-6a so we could get another bottle of port

* achieving our goal

* getting another bottle of port

* finishing another bottle of port

* good music...good talks...good friend

* Pain's awesome-sauce cover of 'Eleanor Rigby'

* emotional and very personal chords being struck when hearing Nine Inch Nails' Japanese release of 'Right Where It Belongs'

* falling asleep with music still playing

* finally waking up to face the day, grab some Starbucks, head out into the world...but first, a nap <grin>

* most preciously: treasuring a rare moment in life when I was able to relax, live in the moment with someone I trust, let everything go for a while, and just *be*.
