I Suck At Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Yesterday, Karen and I hung out with my friends (Marc and Kelley). For me, the day practically flew by.

I started off the day with an eye exam. I was not looking to get new glasses or anything like that. It just happened to be over a year since my last eye exam. And it was also the case that some time last week, my eye doctor's office called to remind me of that fact and scheduled the appointment.

Needless to say, the eye exam was good. No changes. My eye doctor does not foresee any changes for me until I'm about 42 or so. Apparently around 42, people start needing reading glasses. And as an interesting note, I found out that lasik will not correct the need for reading glasses. (I figured that lasik corrected everything... but I was mistaken.)

Following the exam, I returned home; did some renovating in our first floor bathroom (ie. installed some insulation); picked up Karen from work; attended her ultrasound appointment (to which I still think our baby is going to be a girl because... like in a dramatic fashion, the baby had its hand propped up in front of its face); and then before I knew it, it was time to head over to Marc and Kelley's to hang out.

In case anyone is curious, Karen is doing fine with the pregnancy. And in case you are extra curious about the baby's name for the week, it is Ruty... as in rutabaga.
(Right now, I am envisioning that scene in the movie about Daniel Ruettiger... played by Sean Astin... where the team is chanting his name on the football field. Yes, the movie is "Rudy".) Ruty! Ruty! Ruty!

Anyway, on the agenda for the night at Marc and Kelley's were more episodes of the greatest television show ever: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Now I suck at Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The episodes that we watched were: "Hell's Bells" about Xander and Anya's wedding... which was called off (because Xander was a dope); "Normal Again" about Buffy being in a mental hospital and that the past six years were a figment of her imagination; "Entropy" about Anya's revenge on Xander for leaving her at the altar; and "Seeing Red" which brings about the end of Tara.

We had watched all four of the episodes on the disc while having dinner and dessert. Marc was gracious enough to make moussaka which was very delicious. Equally yummy were the cookies that Kelley made. (Cue Rachael Ray's "Yum-O" sound.) Needless to say, it was a very enjoyable meal.

I had a great time. Too bad the whole day flew by so quickly.
