I went over to Ben and Melissa's to watch Buffy, and I got to have tea and play with their three beautiful cats and sit on the overstuffed couch with my knitting and talk about Things Buffyish and to laugh with Melissa at her husband being dopey and to gossip with Ben about stuff back at the library. And they say I can come back next week. And we're going to go out to eat in DC sometime not too far off.
I like them so much. It was really nice to spend an evening with them. Their apartment is so nice, too... not magazine-photo-spread nice, but well-lived-in-by-interesting-people nice, and cozy. It does kind of smell like cat box, which is not ideal, but otherwise it's beautiful.
R&L are coming to visit next weekend (not the one coming up, the next.) I wonder if I should try to organize an outing with Ben & Melissa or not? Probably not, as R&L will really only be here one evening. They'll get in late on Friday and leave Sunday about 6pm. I am trying to come up with a theater option for Saturday night. The Misanthrope will still be playing at the Arena Stage, but it's terribly pricey and as it will be the final weekend I don't want to depend on 90-minutes-before-curtain markdown tix. Because there are not likely to be many. The Shakespeare Theater and the Folger are dark that weekend, and the Ford is being renovated. I was so hoping for something good at the Shakespeare... not that it wouldn't be pricey, but I feel that it would be worth it not only for the caliber of the performance but for the accessible location and the proximity to Jaleo. Mmm.... Jaleo... tapas... mmm...
