Still fishing, by the way.
So, we had someone up to visit this weekend, which I can't remember if I mentioned or not. THERE IT IS, ANYWAY. We... did some stuff! Mostly wandering around downtown and in/around Waterbury. Which is nowhere near downtown. But my parents loaned me one of the cars (the damned van and, naturally, it's got a new problem now) so we went off to visit the cider mill and the cheese store and the ice cream factory. There was a fair amount of exposure to robots, too. It never seems like I really have that many until they're out and all over the floor (some in various stages of transformation). (I have too many movie-line toys...)
Flocked entry with slightly more details may or may not follow later, depending on my mood.
In other news, we appear to have broken Aniko's FFXI addiction, but only by replacing it with entirely another (... mostly her words translated into my word-usage, those). We all went out to see Watchmen Saturday night - she - Ani - hadn't seen it yet, and, hey, car, so we could go to one of the fancier places - and now, less than forty-eight hours later, she has seen the movie again, read my copy of the graphic novel, purchased her own copy of the graphic novel, bought a poster and the soundtrack and has, from all I can tell, been listening to it (or at least "Unforgettable") on loop for the past 3+ hours.
I'm not sure that my levels of amusement are entirely appropriate, but I do find it slightly hilarious.
Super excited. My parents just paid me back some money they owed me, and it looks like I'll be getting a fair sum back. Basically, my plane and hotel fees are all covered.
Also, I don't have a Monday night class again until our last class at the beginning of May.
... Strange lives.
