the weekend

Jeff stayed at my place this weekend. We mostly hung out, but on Saturday night we went to Rizzo’s for dinner with my family. It was my niece’s 20th birthday, and my brother treated everyone to dinner.

After we got home that night, I noticed something on the living room area rug–a piece of a tooth. Ralphie broke another tooth! It’s the one above the one he broke last time. So, that sucks. Not only that, but when I took Sylvia to the vet in October, the vet said that she has another tooth that needs to be extracted. It’s going to be an expensive winter.

We did some running around on Sunday afternoon. I needed to pick up a few things at Lowe’s, and he needed to get something at Dunham’s. I guess we’re settling into domesticity. Haha.

books, politics

107 days

Coincidentally, I wrapped up this book in parallel with this month’s election. Too bad the book didn’t have a similar ending! Things would be a lot different now; that is for sure. The book was ok, but it was less of a story and more of a diary–each chapter was a day leading up to the election (e.g., “90 Days Before the Election”).

My rating: 3/5

holidays, relationships

clearfield

I went to Clearfield again yesterday afternoon. Shortly after I got there, Jeff’s sister invited us to their camp for hot dogs and mountain pies, so we hung out at his place for a little bit and went there closer to suppertime. Another couple I met before (at trivia night) was also there. The dogs enjoyed the camp and getting snacks from everyone, and I always love a campfire.

After that, we went back to Jeff’s because 2 of his granddaughters were going to be stopping by for trick-or-treating. They were very cute! Since I was in Clearfield, I missed trick-or-treating at my house. I think this is the first time that has happened.

Before I headed home, we hung out some more and talked about the state of the world, which is not ideal.

movies

backrooms

This was a weird movie. Watching it was kind of like watching a bad dream. It had an open-ended ending, which I kind of hate, but before that, it was very unique.

My rating: 3/5

live entertainment

daughtry

Daughtry

Jeff is a fan of Daughtry, so when I saw they were coming to The Palace Theatre, I offered to treat him to the concert for his birthday. He accepted. It was an interesting show, as the songs spanned their 20-year career, but in an acoustic format.

The opener, Ryan Perdz, also did an acoustic set. I really liked his cover of Michael Jackson’s song, Billie Jean.
