Fall is here...

littlelotteWell, fall has definitely made its mark. The first home football game of WMU's season was last night (otherwise known as Comm-University night), and it was pretty crappy weather for a game so far as how it's been lately, but it was the perfect fall weather for a football game. Now I'm sitting on the couch typing this up, and I've actually pulled my fleece blanket back out to begin it's six or seven month stay on the couch.
It's been a pretty uneventful week, really. We went to Bronco Bash Friday evening and talked about how it just gets worse and worse every year. The best was my freshman year, of course. I don't really think it was ever better than that one. It was also kind of strange because they moved it from the Fine Arts Village over by Miller over to the flag pole/Sangren/Faunce area. We also rented Dear Wendy a few days ago, and it was definitely quite a twisted little piece of work, though a rather lovely film, regardless (of course, Lars von Trier wrote it, so of course it was...that's what I seem to say about every movie of his I've seen--which reminds me...I apparently haven't harassed Dan enough to bring Dogville back to Kalamazoo with him...I only half bought it for him ;-)). I also finally got Dan to see Monsoon Wedding last night--I think I've been trying for about two years...and he admitted it wasn't the terrible thing he was expecting (his words being, "I thought it was going to be like My Big Fat Greek Wedding! You can't blame me!" I haven't seen that movie, so I can't comment). He also finally rented Motorcycle Diaries last week, as I've been the one resisting the rental of that and finally gave in (we've about killed video rental at Video Hits...there are about four that we've wanted to rent for forever but people have stolen them and we keep hope out that they'll come back, but aside from those we've pretty much depleted VHP as a rental resource). He got maybe half an hour in before giving up on it with "Ugh...why did I want to rent this?"
Tonight is definitely laundry night, tomorrow is a long day at work, and Tuesday will be an exceptionally long day--in to work early so that I can finish early and pick up the new MZD book before I have to be back at CiP at noon for the trip down to the Buffett concert, and then another bright and early workday on Wednesday. I'm really not looking forward to the actual concert part Tuesday (I hear more than enough Buffett at work), but I am looking forward to an evening with people from work I really like.
Edit: I just discovered that I can import these entries to Facebook, so I guess I should start actually titling things ;-)
