( weekend review )

The first annual chili cookoff was a success! Thanks to all our chili chefs, apologies to those I couldn't cram into the house, and holy crap does eating 9 different chilis wear a person out. Lessons were learned: for instance, that everyone brings sour cream. I do in fact, despite the 4 tubs we went through, still have 3 tubs in the fridge. Also: ( Read more... )

1. Had an awesome time at Alex's bday party last night. I got to talk prog with mephisto21 and there will be more shenanigans related to that. traceracer and I did our classic stand on the back porch singing takig requests thing, and possibly offended people trying to talk over us. A red door was painted black ( Read more... )

On this day in Genesis history: In 1972 the band were in rehearsals for Foxtrot. It would be the second album with the classic 5-man lineup. In 1987 they were recovering from a massive 4 night engagement at Wembley Stadium, a crowning achievement to add to the Invisible Touch tour ( Read more... )

This weekend was so much less boring gamery than I thought it would be! I was sure I would have hardly anything to talk about forever because of WoW.

First: A Series of Unfortunate Events was awesome. I hadn't intended to see it but went because of Jack. Oh, I tell you, I adored this film. Stay through the credits, you won't be sorry. Liam Aiken ( Read more... )

Many people were missed, but I warn anyone that did not come by, I was drunk anyways. Jack wasn't so he, at least, would have made some sense to you. I have to say with much intensity, tzel is a wonderful caterer. She made all the ( Read more... )

I need to do exactly ten things today at work (which is about 8 more things than usual), so I think I will stop looking at LJ! It's just that you're all so, so much more compelling than work ( Read more... )

It's book club tonight. If you've read Slaughterhouse-Five and are nearby, there will be a bunch of us discussing it at my house.

I bought Trillian Pro finally. It's nice. Also I didn't know there was some kind of soft limit on how many contacts you can reliably get updates about.

Friday: Party @ Farringtonia rocked. Wish I hadn't been so damn ( Read more... )

Well! I survived saturday! Hrm, that makes it sound alot less fun than it was. What I mean to say is that after getting up at 5 for work, I made it through cleaning and partying to about 2am when my legs literally gave up on me. I couldn't stand anymore. Work had involved several snafus, and I knew the minute I got home I'd have to clean like a ( Read more... )
