So Let's Go For Week in Review

Since I am relaly bad at telling y'all what I plan to do, how about telling you what I did...

Monday-work, knitting, finished scarf that bears remarkable resemblance to 70's tweed curtains. But someone will love it. In fact, it got a lot of fondling at today's art show.

Tuesday-work and party for work. Took lots of pictures, watched premiere of GLEE (squeee, even though I has already seen it in FOX preview), watched people around me get drunk and funny, was reminded once again why I no longer drink ad have not for over six years.

Wednesday-knitting at a friend's house with much merriment. Group consumption of ice cream and wine (for some), in the case of one person, consumption of wine and ice cream together. Bless my friend A for unbarfing my Ball of Yarn barf, which for you uninitiated means a big tangle of yarn.

Thursday-MACHETE with friend A. A truly awesome Robert Rodriguez splatterfest. Guns, dismemberment, decapitation, and lots of hershey's syrup blood.

Friday-Dinner with friends. The restaurant was verrryyy smart to put us in a semi-private room, as we are neither quiet nor sedate, and our conversation is more appropriate to Denny's at 2am than a yuppie mexican grill at dinnertime. Then knitting with friends, which included commandeering several Big Comfy Chairs at BN. Got a lot done of my Hawaiian Sunset scarf.

Today-Worked at art show, sold a few things, then went to see Resident Evil 4: Afterlife in 3D with friend C. Great escapist action flick. Some very nice use of 3-D effects/ Suspend disbelief and enjoy. Thanks to friend K for babysitting and use of giftcard. Finished evening with long walk. Almost tired now.

Tomorrow-Mom.

Thursday

I love days where I feel like I really accomplished something. One of today's accomplishments? Getting Hulu+. I love Hulu, and now I have two more seasons of Chicago Hope to watch, among other things. This makes me happy. I also got a bunch of heavy duty graphics done for work, which I love doing and which look hella sharp.

And....I got to work at a local Oktoberfest event which was....uneventful. Hopefully the rest of the weekend will be busier with more rides working better, although the eight drunk guys on the carousel lugging big pottery beer steins was quite amusing. I suspect there will be many more of those tomorrow and Saturday. MANY more.

Tomorrow should be interesting. Saturday will be chaotic, and I get to sleep in Sunday, which makes me very very happy, I don't get free lunch from mom, but I gt to sleep until 11, which I consider a WIN.

Whatta Week

Just when I thought it could not get any more crazy or busy. This week's agenda includes working a bunch of hours at Oktoberfest. In September. Sponsored by a Major Pizza Chain. Don't even try to figure it out. It also involves trying to figure out how to be in two places at once (an artist's market I show at every Saturday and a craft fair I want to go look around at). I believe that my marvelous partner will help me make this happen by pretending to be me for a while. Because part of the my/our big gay agenda involves....wait for it....helping people who need help! It also also involves a going away party for a dear friend who's big gay agenda involves moving to The Big City, where we hope to go visit.

And I am steeling myself for an impending Mom visit that will lead to a Mom move. I go back and forth between very happy and very "what the heck have I gotten myself into?". I think this is what they make deep breathing for.

The time between the last post and this one has been eventful, some good, some not so much. Some realizing that there are truly awesome people in this world. some realizing that there are more horrid people than I care to admit. And once again, may I please request a brief moratorium on illness, injury, and death of people that we care about? Please? I'm quite tired of bad news of this sort. Thank you.
