Jan. 31st, 2003 02:55 pmMicah's coming, and we're off to surprise his brother and be sneaky. We're going to rearrange his apartment, because Matt is a neatnik and leave a trail of clues. It should be a riot.
Later I'm taking my mom out for drinks, and then we're off to see the Lippizans. I'm excited. Should be very fun, provided I can find a place to park. Get to drive the Suburban Assault Vehicle of Doom, which is always entertaining in a horrible way. I can see why people buy them, because you just become fearless behind the wheel. Bad, bad, bad.
I don't feel bad I just downloaded this album, because I'm going to buy it.

silver horses
Jan. 31st, 2003 10:44 pmI saw a man swing dance with a horse tonight and it wasn't even a David Lynch film. It was oddly the most awesome and beautiful and sexy thing ever. Really it was. The lead rider for the Lippizan show was this beautiful Spanish gent and the dappled stallion he rode was amazing. He wore a top hat and a tail coat, and they covered the horse in a dusting of glitter, and made his hooves shine silver. It was the coolest thing I've ever seen a horse and man do together.
The show was really fascinating. It is something else to see eight silver horses moving in unison like that, and to know how many years they train, the care they take of those horses, it's fantastic. I'm so glad I was able to take my mother, and fufill one of her dreams. If they look that good in a tawdry American stadium, imagine what they must be like in Vienna.
I'm in love. More than ever I want to learn to ride, and if I ever have the time and the money I'm going to do it.
Micah called this afternoon and we did much plotting on how to surprise his brother who didn't know he was back. Eventually we decided that Micah and I would go out to a late lunch at Texadelphia for cheese steaks and that I would call Matt and pretend to be stranded because my ride home didn't show. This got him out of the apartment for an hour while Micah snuck in, and rearranged everything. Matt's a neatnik so I'm sure he was horrified. Plus, there was a ransom note for some of his stuff, and a series of phone calls he had to make, which eventually led him to a certain bar. The bartender was paid to know when Matt asked for him and he dropped the special green die in Matt's beer. Matt and Micah have been passing this die between them for years, and Matt stuck it in Micah's stuff before he went to Scotland last year. So after much travelling, they have been reunited and they are out getting smashed right now.
It's been a good evening. I'm happy you know. For all the small things.
