This Blog has no Title

Went to DC last weekend to see the Veronica Mars movie and see some old friends.  It was an awesome weekend, the movie was great, I got a lot of rest and had a lot of fun.  Saw some amazing art at the National Portrait Gallery, and didn't even cry at the Challenger stuff at Air & Space!

Also, I borrowed the sequel to the Karen Chance book I read last week from one of my friends.  Because friends are awesome.

It was a nice weekend.  Fun was had by all, and I managed to get the lawn mowed!!!  Of course, that means I had someone mow it, due to continued absence of lawnmower, but it got done, which is a big step in the right direction.  Also makes it easier to find the broken glass in the ground.  At some point, there was a hell of a party in that yard.

Sunday,  mymagritteand I were supposed to go to the DC Tribal Cafe, and we both flaked.  Which was kinda nice, as neither of us was left wandering Dupont alone, wondering where the other was.  Bad, though, as no bellydancing, coffee, supporting local performers stuff happened. I did cut my hair, though.  Which, I know, I'm not supposed to do myself anymore.  I just can't seem to stop.

The Wireless connection at home was spotty all weekend, for some reason.  I kept wandering into the room where the modem is (roommate's room) and playing with it, wandering back to my computer and messing with it, wandering downstairs to check the cable TV, etc.  Can't figure it out.  It started working long enought for me to check the weather this morning, which was a nice freebie, but then it went off again before I left.

Evidently I missed a lot of activity in the news this weekend, due to the internet issues.  Although, as I avoid news like the plague, chances are I wouldn't have heard anything either way.  Part of Eastern Market burned. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/30/AR2007043000272.html?hpid=artslot   Very sad, I love that place.  Also, evidently part of the Bay Bridge in CA was destroyed by an exploding oil tanker.  http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/29/AR2007042900512.html  And, not so much a landmark, but there was evidently a factory/refinery fire in OK.  Sheesh.  Who designated this the weekend for landmarks burning?  Can I give them a vote of no confidence?

Oh, and we're having a luau!!!  Tentatively scheduled for Memorial Day weekend, but I think it'll be changed to the weekend after.  A friend, who offered to help with the cost of outrageous decorations, will be out of town for Memorial Day.  Would be very wrong to have her buy 200 leis (or however many we end up needing) and then hold the party when she can't be there.  So, much like the Toga Party last fall, chances are party prep will consume me through much of May.  Also, my birthday!!!!

To work now, TTYL.

Three days were not enough.  I know this because my fingers are stiff from writing, and the entire rest of my body is stiff from moving a friend on Sunday.  Need to work out more before I move myself.

Hope everyone takes the time to read & comment on my new story; it's something I toyed with the idea of for a few months, but I was going to wait to write it until other things were done.  Then, all of the sudden on Saturday, when I was trying to write on FAA, the bug bit, and that was the end off that.

I'm having icon-crediting issues again.  I found this, got distracted before I wrote down the creator's name, and now I can't find it again.  If anyone recognizes your work, please let me know and I'll give credit.  I love these little things, and I have the hardest time making them myself, so I like to make sure everyone knows who has the mad artwork talent!  It's sure not me.

Other than frantic writing, and a day spent moving from MoCo to Woodley Park (if you don't know DC geography, it's about a 30/45-minute drive) in the snow and ice, nothing noteworthy happened this weekend.  Hopefully the writing is noteworthy enough.

Latah!
