Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
People should talk about their weekends
On Saturday, I was a combatant in Ealdormere's 16th Crown Tournament. I had fun fighting. I have a bruise the size of a grapefruit on my right bicep. No pictures yet. On Sunday, I helped a friend set up a new tv/dvd/vcr (but can't make my own work the way I want them too) and had dinner. I also threw out/bundled for Goodwill (depending on suitability) about 3 big rubbermaid tubs worth of clothes I had in storage, and found my edition of Beowulf in the Old English (Klaeber, 3rd edition) that I thought was lost.
Today is much with the gronkly.
Love grapefruit. And for somebody who likes sweets as much as I do, also love sour things. I like to put salt on grapefruit. My weekend: Nothing much. Finished a book on amnesia, wrote...Watched "Lorenzo's Oil" again.
Okay, I know it's a callback to discussion a whole handful of posts earlier. But these two, at the top of a page of posts?

Love grapefruit.
One of the kinkier x-posts ever.
Did it make you all sniffly?
I totally cried. And then called my mom.

And John Sweden brings the convo full circle.
On Friday, went out with a friend who'd had a death in the family. She just needed her friends around her. Wasn't melancholy, just supportive.
Saturday, went to my 23 year old friend's house party. Quite reminiscent of college parties. It was his first big party and he was very excited. It was so cute. I even was the only one sober at 3AM when there was need for an emergency beer run :)
Slow typist, although I guess I could clobber JohnS, too.
I heard from my friends in Pakistan, and they are okay, although their apartment was somewhat damaged. I also heard from my niece, who is moving to Oregon ("It's so expensive! And it's so wet! We haven't gotten out to do anything because it's been rainy and gray."). I cooked a lot, and gamed a lot, and wrote a Ranty McRantypants piece about the US gov't and Avian Flu (synopsis: Soft on Katrina, Hard on Avian Flu, more people die of AIDS and regular flu than avian flu, yadda).
That's about it. It was a good weekend.
Saturday I spent a Kohl's gift card that my folks gave me. Nothing terribly glam (except for some earrings that are rather nice, but don't show up on their website). Sunday I spent reading up on New England.
I'm pretty sure I did more than this, but I switched from coffee to tea starting Saturday, so it's all kind of blurry.
Weekend:
Saturday: Was lazy. Watched ER episodes. Took nap. Wnet to Salvation Army and bought sweaters. Went to theatre and aforementioned FOUR watch repair shops. Came home. Watch more ER
Sunday: Was productive. Cleaned living room, alcove, bathroom and hall. Tried to turn heat on unsuccessfully. Went to Target. Watched West Wing. Went to bed huddled with cat for warmth.
