Weekend in Review

Friday:

I picked [livejournal.com profile] hellbob up downtown when he was done working and we headed over to the Foley's house to watch the last episode of Farscape. OMFG! SciFi channel sucks! First the bastards decide not to do a fifth season of one of the best sci fi shows ever, then they leave the last ep with an impossible cliffhanger and a "too be continued" tag! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! A quality show like this, and they take if off the air to replace it with Tremors! FrellFrellFrellFrell!!!!!! Then we just hung out watching movies for the rest of the night. But I got to spend some quality time with my puppy, Luna. She looks so much like Charlie, The Best Dog, EVER (tm), the dog my family had when I was a kid.

Saturday:

Slept in til about noon, cuz we were out so late on Friday. Then, since the cleaning fairies hadn't shown up while we were sleeping, HB & I had to clean the house. Then, [livejournal.com profile] chebutykin and I headed to the store for provisions. Mel's birthday party started at 7 pm and the house was full of people from then until at least 2:30 am when I went to bed.

I know I will forget some people, but here's a partial list of all who showed up: [livejournal.com profile] hellziggy,[livejournal.com profile] hellbob & [livejournal.com profile] chebutykin (cuz we all live here) [livejournal.com profile] cajones, [livejournal.com profile] barda, [livejournal.com profile] davidkingsley, [livejournal.com profile] jmanna, [livejournal.com profile] lucyruthe & LHGB, [livejournal.com profile] michaellee, [livejournal.com profile] moneygod [livejournal.com profile] petsnakereggie, [livejournal.com profile] silmarian, [livejournal.com profile] windelina & Monte, Mark, Tom & Lisa, Guy & Wendy, Don & his wife (who's name I just can't remember) & several of his Suncoast minions, and many people who's names I never did catch.

We had brains, meathead, evil chocolate bars, cthulhu peeps, little weinies, and much yummy italian food. I had also purchased a chocolate free/Cheb friendly cake which I persuaded [livejournal.com profile] cajones to zombify.

The entertainment for the evening consisted of the ultra disturbing <i>Happy Tree Friends, Hellhouse staple Rejected, scary Texas Pentacostals in HellHouse, and [livejournal.com profile] hellbob setting the driveway on fire (or as he put it "the driveway's not on fire, the gasoline on the driveway is on fire"). Nothing major burned & people wandered out to the firepit randomly for the rest of the night.

There were lots of people that I never really got a chance to chat with, but a good time was had by all.

[livejournal.com profile] silmarian showed up without [livejournal.com profile] wiredferret because she was home with a cranky baby, but since he was there I could bestow upon him the fuzzy dinosaur blanky I made for Baz. The fabric screamed at me to buy it when I was at Mill End, it was so darn cute!

Since the theme of the party was Romans & Zombies, everyone with a Feb, Mar, Apr birthday got a Roman laurel headpiece, so I made sure that my little April Fool kitten, Lump, got hers.

Monte & I got to spend a fair amount of time geeking out about cameras. My Canon G3 is still a fairly new toy for me, but I'm really not sure how I used to survive without it.

I'm sure there were other important things that I am forgetting, but if I knew what, I wouldn't be forgetting it, now would I?

Sunday:
Slept til about 11, and found a living room with peple watching Zombie movies. Guy & Wendy had planned to spend the night, cuz they live about 1000 miles away, and Cheb had an evil plan to cook breakfast. I am very impressed. She did much cooking in two days, and there were no fires! She was starting on the bacon & pancakes at about noon, and I had to take off at 12:30 for my class & to drop HB off at Nels' to get his bike out of winter storage, so I took a plate of pancakes to go. They were yummy. Turned out I could have eaten it at home, cuz class started an hour late cuz C. was stuck in traffic caused by a marathon in St Paul somewhere.
Sunday night was the Oscars, which I was pretty apathetic about this year. I hadn't seen most of the movies, and with the war & all all the Red Carpet & such was toned way down. On the plus side, I didn't even see Joan Rivers! Steve Martin's hosting wasn't bad, it wasn't great, it just was. Not a lot of great moments. Not enough Ben Affleck sightings, too much J. Ho, Halle Berry looked fabulous, Catherine Zeta-Jones looked very pregnant, Michael Moore was very outspoken, Chicago won a lot. Eh. Just wasn't getting into it. ChubbChubbs won animated short!! Mickey Mouse was a presenter!

And that's the weekend that was.

Busy. Working. Spring cleaning. Throwing stuff awaaaaaaaaaaaay! :) Studying tarot. :) I'm meeting next week with my Circle to talk about initiation. Whew- had to watch the spelling there. My fingers don't want to type today for some reason. Bleh.

Shawn found out a lot of the classes he thought would transfer won't. One counselor told him it would all transfer, the next one says that was wrong. So he's depressed- he thought he was close to graduating and now he's not.

My friend just bought a CR-V, in part because she was impressed by it when I showed her mine. :) She couldn't find a blue one either,and she wound up with a silver one just like mine! I think that's hilarious. She likes her new car though.

Remember when we drove past Magic Castle? Turns out the guy that leads our Circle is a member... and has offered to take us... whoopee!!!! I've wanted to go for a long time. Which is a danger, because it might not live up to expectations if I put too much emphasis on it. But it might be just as cool as I hope. :)

It's spring here, and it's beautiful. Duh! It's California.

So besides the birthday party and cussing out bad drivers, how are you?

**hugs**

What the . . .

So everything was basically tied up, and I liked the fact that John ends up on the non-earth side of the busted worm-hole. I could even like the fact that the end was just as messy as everything else that happened. But WHY THE HELL DID THEY FEEL THEY NEEDED "To be continued"! It makes my head spin, it's so messed up. It's almost like they are spiteing anyone who wants to continue it which is stupid because the story arc is over. AAA brain turning to mush.
