Aah, the beach. I so love the beach, with its beachy smell and its beachy breezes. I'm so glad that Marti Maraschino gave me a last-minute phone call. (Seriously, people, I love the last-minute plans, because I HATE planning.) I had just pulled out all of my geocaching stuff and was getting ready to go check some out, but the beach offer was much more tempting. So I whipped out the I'm-too-big-to-wear-this-in-public-but-I-will-anyway two-piece bathing suit, got a bag of stuff together, and waited for Funk and Marti to arrive.
We headed off to Nantasket and spent probably 2.5 quality hours at the beach. There was some laying around happening, with Marti reading us ridiculous sections of her most recent fashion magazine (gah, really). There was some submerging in the frigid water where I almost lost my prescription sunglasses in the ocean (oops). And I was clever enough to bring a frisbee so Marti Maraschino and I got in the water and threw the frisbee around and gabbed while Funk napped on the rocks. And yes rocks, because the tide came in so much that there was no beach left! Ha ha, Nantasket, you are so weird.
I'd put on a ton of sunscreen before I left and I don't think I got a single smidge of color, which is sad but oh well. I got to play frisbee in waist-deep frigid ocean water, so it all evens out. Good times.
Movie Club saw The Hidden Blade which is SO not a movie I would ever have seen on my own. I mean, it was okay and it wasn't terrible, but I really was just waiting for it to end by the end of it. Parts of it were funny and there was a flying body part, but yeah... not the best $9.25 I ever spent. Afterwards we went to Cambridge Brewing Company where we had such terrible service because we were a party of seven and the gratuity was going to be included. I HATE THAT. It took us over two hours to eat, so we all had to pay for extra parking (the movie theatre validates for 4 hours). Grrrrrrr.
I got painfully little sleep last night so I'm going to call this one an early (yet still eventful) Saturday.
And I can't believe I spend so much freaking time with my coworkers. I am SO WEIRD but they are SO FUNNY.
