FYI, Capital Fringe tickets are on sale now. Bunches of things I wouldn't mind seeing, maybe.
Things what I did this past weekend(-ish):
This week: lots of testing to do at work, and I'm already wishing I'd brought more Claritin with me and passed on the Red Bull I had at 7:30 last night, which I suspect is related to the "awake until 4:30 AM" thing.
Things what I did this past weekend(-ish):
- Spent a lovely evening hanging out with CU and G before she headed back north.
- Took the guinea pig to the vet because the Baytril seemed to not be working as well on his infection anymore. Am now pretty worried that the poor piggers might be suffering from something like renal failure, since he's lost a lot of weight and appears to be a bit dehydrated in spite of drinking a lot. The vet wants to do some blood work, but for the draw they need to anesthetize him and poke a major vein. So that's something else we have to worry about, anesthesia for a five year old guinea pig (although the vet thinks he's a reasonable candidate for it, so that's a bit reassuring). At least he seems fairly happy in general, despite whatever health problems he's got going on. (Why can't my pets have their expensive medical problems when all the humans in the house are employed? *sigh*)
- Went out to College Park to CDepot to walk a friend through the CD selling process, and successfully failed to bring any new-to-me CDs home. Yay.
- Went duckpin bowling since the alley is right next to the CD store, and proceeded to bowl what I think was almost certainly the worst game ever. (I think I bowled a 44, and had at least two frames where I scored a big ol' zero. Woo!) It was fun though.
- Discovered that I find the texture of bubble tea to be really off-putting. o_O
- Saw three of the SILVERDOCS entries: Left in Baghdad, Bulletproof Salesman, and Bi the Way. Didn't manage to see In the Family, but it's apparently screening at E Street next month a couple of times, and I think I'll try to see it then.
- Went to Costco in Pentagon City yesterday, and remembered why I'd rather poke angry badgers with spoons than go to that particular outpost on the weekend ever again. Chantilly Costco and their enormous parking lot FTW.
- Staged a rescue mission for an enormous teddy bear that had been left on the curb to await today's trash pick up, because that made me sad. (It's headed for a couple of weeks in well-sealed trash bags in case of hitchhikers and then perhaps the laundromat and their much-larger dryers for good measure, once I stitch up the ripped seam.) Yes, I'm a big ol' sap. What of it?
