Weekend Update: Anticipation Edition

What a weekend, kittens.

Friday night, I had a relaxing night in filled with knitting, martinis, and Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which I would like to say is *much* better than the director's other film (my impressions of that movie are here).

Saturday, I did some grocery shopping. Blobbed around. Weeded some of the front garden (with help from a professional super-weeder, DUN). Then, headed off to Dana's (not-quite-a) Suprise Birthday Party held waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out in the hinterlands of Maryland. I saw COWS! and DEER! and TRACTOR CROSSING SIGNS! GOOD LORD, DANA, WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU LIVE? The party was fun. Alyssa (who drove) and I helped ourselves to much beer and food and chocolate fountain goodness. Then, Dana dumped a beer all over Alyssa (It was an accident *wink wink*) and we left.

Sunday, I did some cleaning. Then, Tomoko and I went to the E Street Theater to see Paprika, which was AMAZING. I tell you, American animators should be working on exciting, innovative movies like this, rather than the kid-pleasing, formulaic crap they are currently churning out (Shrek III, I'm looking at you). After the movie, we met Mike at Austin Grill for food and margs. On the way home, I stopped off at Whole Foods to pick up a few things.

Once home, I blobbed around quite a bit more. I took a nap. I made pesto. I came up with an idea for a fairly interesting charity knitting project. Stay tuned for details. Once I get them all sorted.

A good weekend, filled with lots of fun and friends and food. But, mostly, I waited. For today. Funny thing when Monday is the most eagerly anticipated day of the weekend, huh?

I had an email from Y this morning. He arrived around 1:20 and will be in touch after he wakes up. I think today will be a long day.

*smooches*

    For real (or maybe not real?) on the Paprika. It gives hope that there are still maybe a few sort of innovative minds in the animation bazaar.

    Don't let your money woes bog down your meeting with yo man! Let him make you feel all better...

I'm Back (from Vacation)

 I'm back. I will be posting about my vacation soon.  Well, soonish ... maybe this weekend.  I dunno. Also, I came back to a big pile of stress at work.  Good times. Can I go on vacation again?  (Why, yes. Yes, I can.  I'll be flying to Atlanta for Pesach.  Just the weekend.  Not the whole dang thing.  My body needs gluten. And, then, a quick trip to NC in early May to see the 'rents.) ANYWAY.  Israel and Latvia posts coming up. Stay tuned. Or just look at the pix on my IG. *hugz*

If We Took a Holiday ...

 Happy Presidents' Day! Since I last posted, so much has happened ... I think.   I was going to bake my parents heart-shaped biscuits, because -when we were wee lads- my mom used to bake my brother and I heart-shaped biscuits on Valentine's morning.  They were not as good as the biscuits I make now. However, after I grated the frozen butter in my food processor, I tipped it out into the flour and the handle on the food processor broke.  The bowl fell into the flour.  I dug out a few pieces of plastic and a spring, and I threw it all in the trash.  I called the manufacturer.  They are sending me a new bowl ... in 2-3 weeks.  UGH.  HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE BISCUITS NOW?!?!? The SigNoth caught a cold, so Valentine's Day was even more of a bust.  Not that I really buy into the whole pseudo-holiday thing anyway. Saturday, I did my taxes. Refund, yay!  And, I ordered some nice stationery.  I thought it would be fun to use my fa...

Too Early But Not Early Enough

 6:00AM. With the new normal, I should be on a bus to the metro station, where I board a train and then another train to arrive at my office bright and early and chipper as a newborn squirrel. Today is special, though.  It's Pottery Class Registration Day.  Which is surprisingly competitive.  The DMV has too many Type A Soccer Moms (and Dads). In order to register for class, I have to log on at 6:30AM and hope the Pottery Gods are kind to me in the registration queue.  We shall see ... so exciting. After I register, I will then board a bus and a train ... and another train to get to my office.  Depending on what time I arrive, I will either work late (ugh) or take some leave (also, ugh).  Being totally honest, I will more than likely take leave because I hate being at work late.   This would be a perfect day to telework.  If we were allowed to telework.  Too bad Danger Yam (as one of my mutuals calls He Who Must Not Be Named) thinks...
