I finally feel like I'm getting back into the swing of things after Burning Man. This week got off to a rocky start. One of my staff attempted a coup d'état in my absense. More on that later.
Zoe an I saw
Lady in the Water on Thursday. We LOVED it. Thanks all for the recommendations.
Last night I was planning to join some friends for a rooftop party but Zoe got stood up by her cousin. We drove out to my sister's but her cousin Akasha had forgotten about Zoe coming and went to visit her dad. Zoe was crestfallen and I didn't have the heart to leave her there so we went home and watched
Joe Versus The Volcano which helped put things in perspective. The moon was HUGE last night. I think that's part of the reason we watched it.
Afterward, I went to Ascension for a bit. It was great catching up with a few people I hadn't seen in a while, especially
miss_zephiurs and
_polaroidgirl. Chatting with
ripwolfe was very cool too. It's nice to be able to spend time getting to know my friends better. He mentioned a personality quiz that he took recently that was super accurate. I can only assume I took the right one because these results were dead on. I cut the details to save your friends pages.
Zoe and I are off to a BBQ in Point Loma now. I'll be at Sabbat later tonight. I hope to see some of you there. hint hint.
