Gingerbread, Joonies, and Ass Burgers
Posted in Friends on 11/05/2007 07:02 pm by enjanerdHappy belated birthday to cousin Matt!
Weekend recap — I took Friday off and got a lot done. Spent the morning running errands and working on homework. Apparently my memory is bad enough these days that lying to myself on my calendar is proving to be incredibly effective. I got my car inspection done at the beginning of the month instead of 2 weeks late like I normally would.
After that, met up with TLD, Sarah, and the Warrior Princess for lunch. It was fun catching up with them. We discussed baking competitions, work, the latest on who was saying inappropriate/rude things at work, and knitting patterns. And there seems to be some interest in making gingerbread coworkers this year. I’m very
excited!
Headed out to visit Steph+Juniorita after lunch. Yenny was already over there to have lunch with them. So, I got to hang out with them and ended up staying until dinner. Had just enough time to watch Reign Over Me with Lenny before he had to leave for class. (Very unusual to see Adam Sandler in a serious role, but I think he did a good job. I thought the movie was well done.) I kept Steph company while she fed Juniorita and then skipped out to go see the Joonies.

. I was told that the building used to be a mortuary, so the corridor leading away from the bar had a bunch of private rooms that were intended for viewings. They each had sofas and chairs lining the walls so there was plenty of seating and open space for people to mingle, but the empty space in the middle of the room was basically coffin-sized.
I missed the first band and caught the last half of the second and third bands’ sets. The second band has been played numerous times on DC101′s Local Lix. It must be true because they announced this at least a half dozen times between the 3 songs I heard them perform.
I did enjoy the Joonies though. It was a little melancholy since this was their last show, but they had a blast playing and it showed. I even recognized a few of the songs from the last time I saw them at DC9. I’m definitely glad I got out to see them. (This is one of my coworkers’ band, but the drummer and singer are moving away, so they’re breaking up. *sniffle*)
Saturday, woke up bright and early and watched Numb3rs before getting ready to head over to my parents’ for lunch. Still had about 2 hours before I needed to head over, so I fell asleep reading on the couch… and ended up showing up about 45 minutes late. Oops.
Everyone else bailed this week, so it was just me and the ‘rents. Which was for the best, because I had to catch them up on the week’s gossip. (More on that later…) Brought a bunch of food over to Sonny’s gf afterward since she wasn’t feeling well.
Then headed home to start watching Season 1 of Bones. I can’t believe I waited this long to start watching that show. Why didn’t anyone tell me? I guess it worked out though because now I have a new show to catch up on. Was exhausted by 10, so went to bed early and had the best night’s sleep I’ve had in weeks.
Sunday, I spent reading, watching football, and working on homework. Exciting times, I know. Oh, and in case you guys didn’t read the comments yesterday, I got comments from the author of the book I was reading! That was definitely a suprising highlight for the day.
…And that wraps up the weekend. I’m loving this Friday off thing. I got so much done, but I’m not exhausted from it all.
