Since this is technically Sunday morning, let me start of by saying:

Top o’ the mornin’ to ye!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

And now that we have cleared that bit of business out of the way, on with the posting!
Friday:

  • Worked a half-day.
  • Went to lunch with Jess, Julia, Gary and Colleen, and Angie. We went to the Macaroni Grill. Tasty foods. I took my pencil and eraser in and drew on the tablecloth while waiting for our food to arrive. The tablecloths are made of paper and are meant to be drawn on; they bring crayons when they seat you. Julia and I played “What Can You Make From This Squiggle” on the tablecloth during dessert.
  • Went to Borders and picked up a copy of Beethoven’s Wig: Sing Along Symphonies.
  • Came home and, aside from some minor straightening-up, pretty much vegged the night away.

Saturday:

  • Slept in.
  • Around 14:00, it started to snow… which would continue, intermittently, throughout the day.
  • Met Paul and some friends of his and saw Resident Evil. Yeah, yeah… it’s a movie based on a video game. I know that those never seem to turn out ‘just right.’ I have to admit that I enjoyed this; it was a decent portrayal of a video game on the big screen. Sure it had its faults, but I wasn’t going hoping to see a Gladiator-level movie. On the whole, I enjoyed it and would consider seeing it again, if someone else wanted to see it.
  • Came home, picked up Jess and…
  • Met Angie and Julia for Showtime. I liked this quite a bit; it was a spot-on spoof of the mismatched buddy cop movie genre. One low spot in watching this movie: With :15 or so left in the movie, our snack tray shifted radically and I wound up wearing Cherry Coke. So did the guy in front of me, although he didn’t get nearly as much on him. Yay me. *shrug* Things like this happen. I hovered (kind of sit/squatting) above my seat for the last few minutes of the movie. When I got into the lobby, I (and everyone there) could finally see what the damage looked like. Julia said that it didn’t look like I had wet myself, so to speak, but I still got a few odd looks from passers-by on the way to the car. Ehhh. Let ’em wonder.
  • Came home to shower and change.
  • Jess and I went out to eat… and then…
  • Went bowling. Julia and Larry met us there. Delfina and a friend of hers dropped by to say “hi” and hang out for a bit. I’m not sure what the final win-loss tally was.
  • Went to the nearby Village Inn for post-pin killing eats. We got Jaysin, a waiter, to dance (like he did two weeks ago), giving Jess and Julia an idea of what Larry and I had seen before.
  • Home.

That’s it in a nutshell. And with that, “…now I lay me down in Dreamland…”¹

Peace.
