Jackass
As part of my competitive nature, I occasionally wager with Jennifer. I am very careful only to do it when I'm pretty much certain that I know what I'm talking about. Of course, she only accepts a bet when she's pretty sure that I'm wrong - so we don't bet often these days. When we actually do bet (which immediately makes me doubt myself) I always have a hard time coming up with something to bet for. Most of the things I like Jennifer likes as well, but betting for something we both enjoy would miss the point, wouldn't it?
On Saturday I got lucky and won a bet. It had taken me a long time to come up with something that I, but not Jennifer, would possibly enjoy. I did find the perfect thing, though. So tonight, despite trying to weasel out of it, Jennifer is taking me to the Alamo Drafthouse to see jackass the movie. To be honest, I probably would not have bothered to go and see this movie by myself, since the promise is so asinine, it actually might be below my admittedly juvenile appreciation of humor. But what better thing to make Jennifer endure? And I get a dinner out of it, too!
Now I only hope that she doesn't enjoy it more than I...

You neglected to share with us what exactly the bet was that you won.
After tonight, I think I've decided that Stepan isn't the guy I want to father my children...I guess it's adoption or the sperm bank for us!
Though maybe I'll reconsider after he takes me to the opera later this month.
Instead of "jackass" should not the title be "I am a jackass?" just wondering :-)
the title of this blog entry, that is.
The bet was about what "stage left" means - whether it's from the perspective of the audience or the actors facing the audience. My claim was that "stage left" is from the actors' point of view and as Meredith confirmed for us, it's the same as "house right".
Well done for winning the bet (am a little surprised that Jennifer didn't know that one), but geez--Jackass??? Wouldn't have expected that one from you.
