weekend in review, the quick summary version
Visit from friend: great fun. Very glad it worked out.
Weather: glorious. In the 70s and sunny most of the weekend.
Udvar-Hazy annex of the Air and Space Museum: nifty. They've got a shuttle ("Enterprise") and an SR-71 Blackbird, among many other things.
Pogues show on Friday night: kickass. I cannot remember the last time I had such a good time at a show. Shane was even sober enough to stay upright and mostly comprehensible. I have fuzzy cameraphone photos to email myself eventually. Gin: the wonder alcohol -- after several reasonably stiff gin and tonics at the show (I did not drive home, don't worry), I was pleased to wake up without a hangover and was miraculously able to see perfectly clearly when I woke up! Oh wait, that's because I fell asleep with my contacts in. Oops. You can tell I don't wear them very often.
Zoo on Saturday: nice, but should've gone earlier because winter hours have the buildings all closing up around 4:30 and the zoo closing at 6. Saw several adorable capybaras though.
Lounging around and not doing much most of Sunday: a fine plan.
Beth Orton show last night: fabulous. Even with it being the first night of the tour, with a dying guitar and a lung infection, she was great. I forgot how adorable she is with her banter and fondness for telling bad jokes on stage.
Livejournal since sometime Friday morning: ha! Likely not catching up since even on my smaller filters it's already at skip="several hundred", although I'll try. If there's something you want me to see, please send me a link.
