Weekend Wrap up

LORD… I’m EXHAUSTED… LONG Damn weekend.. Lot of fun though… So here’s a quick wrap up:

• Friday night – Saw Party Monster with Brian and Kevin. Brian and Kevin liked it. Little much for me but better than sitting at home with re-runs of Three’s Company. Gotta say that Seth Green was pretty damn good. And ya gotta love Marilyn Manson and Amanda Lepore – they’re just wrong… I love it. And the messed up drag was pretty damn cool
  
• Saturday – Spent the morning helping my mom distribute flyers for her author’s club event to comic book stores around the city(Neil Gaiman is speaking at San Jose State University). After that Kevin and i went to a surprise party for some friends of his that just signed their domestic partnership papers.. was a lot of fun
  
• Sunday – Folsom Street Fair… Was a LOT of fun though its been years since anything at that fair has shocked me. Think the three things that stuck in my head are the guy lighting his cigarette with a magnifying glass, the woman with snakes on her head, and the Leather Horse Man/Woman (had leather harnasses on, horse hooves, a tail, and a big long maine… looked cool though miserable to wear)… Here are the pix (most of ’em are kevin’s handy work).

  Of course there was also the usual collection of hot men in leather and I do love that! 😉

Some Friday FUn

Few silly things for a friday that I found while eating my tuna sandwich at lunch:

• RIAA sues grandmother

  …
  The RIAA said it had gathered evidence showing Ward had used Kazaa to share more than 2,000 songs, including hip-hop hits like Trick Daddy’s “I’m a Thug.”
  …

• Under the category of ‘They get payed to do that?’: OFFICIAL: HOW TO EAT CARROTS

  HEALTH chiefs sent teachers instructions – on how children should eat carrots.
  Emails marked “Urgent” told them: “Wash them, eat them from the bottom, discard the top.” It said that was the method recommended by the Department of Health in Whitehall.

• Under the category of ‘Things that make ya wanna hurl’: Some Fun Optical Illulsions (Scroll down – there’s a bunch)

TGIF

Oh my LORD. Thank GOD its friday.. I need this weekend SO BADLY… I’m actually not entirely sure what even happened this week – just a whole lot of work at a frantic pace. Had a fire drill at work that started Tuesday that I chased around Wednesday and then finally put out yesterday. On top of that I’m dealing with performance reviews at work and a bunch of other not so fun stuff which has been spilling into my evenings. And on top of THAT I’ve had house stuff to deal with – calling the Orkin guys back out cuz the little beasties STILL aren’t gone, dealing with PG&E to get new service installed and figure out why we didn’t get charged for electricity this month (I’d like to think it was a present for my birthday but I doubt it since my b-day was in july), calling the lawyer about the condo conversion, and probably 8 other things I’m forgetting. I did go to the gym a couple of times which is a good thing.

LORD.. I think I’ve become my parents – when did that happen?

So looking forward to the weekend though… Lots going on but not going to be crazy. Seeing my mom tomorrow, party tomorrow night… Then sunday is the Folsom Street Fair which should be a lot of fun. Fair definitely isn’t for the feint of heart but I always have a lot of fun. Not going to all the parties this year like I have in the past – they’re getting WAY TO EXPENSIVE and it usually blows my weekend – way too little sleep and I’ve grown accustomed to my morning coffee.

Anyway. Guess I should get to it so I can finish off my friday so I can go play. (Is it too early for a Gin and Tonic? Probably)

Shoot me now

Today has proven two very important things about my personality:

• I work very well under pressure and a deadline.
• I’m pretty damn unpleasant to be around while I”m in that mode! (ask kevin what I was like last night if you doubt that! 😉

Details to follow!

Not so impressed

So i tried out the Day and Night contacts that Ray recommended… Not as impressed with them as he was… For the first few days my eyes had a great deal of trouble switching focus – when I left the computer to go out side i couldn’t focus for a while. The lenses seemed to take about 15 minutes or so to settle in in the morning during which time my eyes were pretty uncomfortable.. Since the whole point of paying the extra to be able to wake up and see in the morning and I really couldn’t I decided to pass.. Back to my AcuVue…

It never ends

So the weekend was crazy… Water heater went out AGAIN Sunday.. Turned out guy downstairs had gas work done saturday that blew out the pilot but you can imagine the look on my face when I woke up to cold water again..

Saturday was a company Picnic for kevin’s company and then a birthday party for my ex.. Both were actually reasonably fun. Got to see Lance’s sisters who are both very nice and I hadn’t seen since the break up.

Got a LOT done yesterday though and the house is starting to look normal again though. We spent the day yesterday avoiding the heat and working on the garage. Kevin built shelves into our storage space while I organized the crap and put it all away. Then made plans for the den… Place is actually coming back together. My desk faces out the window to the street now which is very nice cuz I can see people walking by and see the birds. Funny part is that I think the neighbors think I’m watching them – my monitor is hidden (cuz I don’t like people seeing my computers from the street) so it looks like I’m just sitting at the window staring out for no good reason. Not checking them out though – for real. Do catch a glance from time to time but honestly – not all that interesting.

Anyway. nuff of this.. Need to be as productive today at work as I was at home this weekend so no more blogging for me today..

over and out
