Friday
Work ended and I headed over to
Anime Pavilion for Magic - I was shortly joined by
lori_dc, Tony, And Amber
Tony and Amber had dropped by to have me reload an E-machine.
So - midway through round two - I get a call from
icculushfb telling me that he might need a hand in sunny Manassass so I drop the tournament and start to head out there with everyone in tow - leaving my bike at the shop
before I got halfway out there everything cleared it's self up - so from there I headed back to my place to reload the E-machine while attempting to show Tony the
GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME but my dvd player was not cooperating (note to self - purchase PS3 to replace broke ass DVD player..)
Saturday
Saturday started early (7 AM) with me heading over to help
carolynn_dc with her move - she called me half way up there to inform me that U-Haul had a server outage so
pragma_x could not pick up the truck he reserved - I tell her that my car is luggage declined (ie no rack) and not to worry - things will work out
I show up at her place - blew up the bathroom - chased about the cat till
pragma_x arrives with the perfect mattress moving solution - TWINE!
So
pragma_x,
carolynn_dc and I get to work moving the boxes down to the loading dock - followed by the dresser and mattress -
pragma_x ties down the mattress to his roof while I stuff the dresser in the backseat of my car - then with perfect timing and an empty trunk -
tuath13 shows up - I secure the box spring to her car - we put the tv and a few bins in the back - and we are ready to go
I'm about to pull out - when a douchbag in a banged up scraper Monte Carlo nearly HITS me - mind you I had not moved and had to YELL at him to stop before he hit me......
but that was ALL the excitement from the trip over to
carolynn_dc's new place - we took the back roads and went really slow because the other two cars had mattresses on top of them
We unloaded
tuath13's car first - she had an appointment with verizon - but we discover that the box spring will not fit up the stairs - or in a window - but everything else made it up just fine - after that we parted ways
I headed back to Falls Church - for
Bubble Tea and fud with the family - then Lorrie dropped me off at
Anime Pavilion for Magic and to get my bike - I played in a draft - won the draft - then headed home on my bike
by the time I got home (7 pm or so) I was EXHAUSTED and managed to fall asleep a few minutes after getting home....
Sunday
So Sunday we took in the
Arlington County Fair - we headed over early to catch the indoor exhibits - I had a brick from my Grandfathers high school (W-L) sent to his house - then we ran out to get some fair fud (mmmmmmm) - then off to the carnival rides - we hit the carousel and the Ferris Wheel - the big hit was the free petting Zoo - Lora must have gone through that 4 times (TURTLE!!! TURTLE DADDY!!!) - after that we headed home and
lori_dc and Lora went to bed while Leila and I retaped my handle bars
