Weekend Roundup
Aug. 4th, 2008 01:56 pmAs expected, I didn't get to the Keys game. A tornado blew through the area during the precise time period during which I would have to leave in order to get to the game. As soon as it was too late to drive out there, the storm cleared out. *&%)(*& At least tonight's Aberdeen game should be smooth sailing, no precipitation and not too humid. My next door neighbor Joan is going with me, her sister has been in the hospital over a month (probably won't be leaving, she's failing steadily) and I figured it was high time Joan had a change of scenery.
Mom was quite pleased with her birthday haul - a silly card, Seasons 2 and 3 of 'Sopranos' and a Sopranos guidebook to help her keep track. She intends to start watching tomorrow, although I suggested she might want to review Season 1 first. I haven't seen any Sopranos and I still know more about Season 1 than she does. She was also very happy with her dinner at Cafe Hon, although I was rather underwhelmed. If it had been a $40 meal, it would have been fine, but it was more than twice that, and everything I tried to order for dessert they were out of. But she was happy, so I'll live.
Saw Dr Horrible, and again, underwhelmed. Some cute bits and incisive quips, but not really all that. Also watched Deadwood's first two eps, my first experience with the show, and we both liked it (aside from the language, of course.) Saw and liked '16 Blocks' as well. Spent way too much money at Office Depot (why do I have to have a printer that costs $75 to refill the ink? Oh yeah, I'm an artist. Need the high-end gadget. Gag.) Most of the weekend was spent on the computer or wood-burning, and as a result, I think my hand is going to fall off. I kinda wish it would. It hurts.
