Comedy and House hunting

This weekend was relatively eventful. As weekends go anyway. Adam worked Friday night so I didn’t do much. I don’t even remember really.

Saturday he worked 9-6 so we made reservations at the comedy club for the 8:00 show. I did some cleaning during the day to pass the time. I’m sure some animal torture in the form of cuddling took place as well. We stopped for dinner on the way to the club. We got seated way up in the front, close to the stage. We were totally early so we could fulfill our two drink minimum before the show even started. For the first time I can remember, a screen came down and ran some commercials before the host comedian came out for her set. Her name was Andy and she was the typical depressed, mad at everyone, female comic. She had some good jokes but for the most part it was just ok. Then the headliner, Jimmy Dore, came out. His new show is called “Pop and Politics” and it consists (mostly) of him showing clips of politicians saying something stupid, doing something stupid, or looking stupid. That said, it makes sense that there were a lot of Bush clips. Cheney got a few, the Governator had one, and some other well known politicians had their minutes of shame as well. It was a good show. It’s nice to go to places like this sometimes and have affirmation that I’m not the only one shaking my head at politicians these days. After the show Adam wanted to buy a CD but he didn’t have any cash. Oh well… Overall, not as good as The Untamed Shrews, but still enjoyable.

Sunday we got up and went to breakfast at Griddles for the first time in a long time. They had changed their buffet so I couldn’t get my waffles loaded with strawberries and whipped cream but they still had their little potato pancake things so it was ok. We then headed over to Adam’s parents’ house so he could walk through iPod operation with his mom. After that was done we headed to some open houses. I had looked through the paper early and made a list of 17 houses that were in a price range I thought was doable and had general things we were looking for. We ended up going to about 10 of them. We liked 2 of them. I think this is generally how it goes though. In most of the ones we didn’t like it was an issue of a small kitchen, a bad layout, or a bad garage/driveway situation. It gave us a good idea of what kind of houses are out there though. We’re not seriously going to start looking to buy a house for another year or so but I thought it would be fun to look at a few. After we looked at the last house we headed to Cranky Pat’s for lunch. This pizza place has a lot of good word of mouth. I don’t know if it was just because it was a Sunday afternoon during a Packer game, but the service was terrible. We sat down, ordered, and waited about half an hour for a pizza that was burnt. It was still ok and we didn’t want to sit around and wait for them to remake it. Overall, a bad experience though. We then went home, watched the end of the game (hey, they won!), and hung out for the evening. We went to bed pretty early too. Strange, since I’m tired today.
