Lazy weekends and deadlines
So, I’m in the middle of writing my article for Toasted Cheese which needs to be ready to go up on the site, oh, Tuesday. Procrastination is bad. 😉
The weekend has been lazy and generally relaxing. This is a good thing. Rand and I talked about going out to a movie, but didn’t see anything that we wanted to go out for. We want to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but that isn’t out until next week. Ah well.
We found ourselves in possession of a wee bit of extra disposable cash, so we went out to eat several times this weekend. Yesterday, we went to May Jen, and I had the yumtastic ginger garlic chicken. And we have leftovers, which will probably be eaten tonight. Mmmm…leftovers.
We’re in the process of decluttering, and took a couple of boxes of CDs and DVDs to trade in. We spent way too much time doing that today! While we were in F.Y.E., I asked a salesperson what music was playing. It turned out to be a new release called Unfold by Marie Digby, which I just decided I need to buy on iTunes. (only 6.99, and I still had some credit left from a gift certificate Samantha gave me for Christmas. Yay, me!)
Rand bought the full Northern Exposure box set with his credit. We also traded in a bunch of CDs at Record Theater and bought a few new things with the credit (and we still have a bunch of credit left). Sadly, we have a small selection of stuff nobody wanted. Sniff.
I still have some photos from Rand’s birthday that I have yet to post…I treated him to dinner at Marinaccio’s, a place neither of us had ever been. We both enjoyed our meals very much. More on that soon. Besides the dinner, I (with contributions from both our parents) bought Rand a new iPod…he wanted one with more space. So guess who else gets a new (slightly used) iPod? 😉 Of course, now I have to go through the process of getting what I want onto the iPod. Oh, the trials.
I also have some photos of my pretty, shiny new earrings that people who follow me on twitter heard about yesterday. They will be posted soon.
Oh, and that long-term sub job I mentioned at the beginning of last week? I got it. Since it’s a shorter period of time than my other job (and in a different district), there are no benefits…but it is steady work, great experience, and a wee bit more money than I’d be making as just a day-to-day sub. I went in on Friday to shadow the teacher I’m filling in for and meet the kids and my soon-to-be coworkers. It seems like it’s going to be great, and I’m very happy to have the experience. This week is spring break, so I’ll be starting a week from tomorrow. 😀
More? I’m sure there is, but I should probably get back to work…hope you’re having an excellent weekend!
Friday Flair post!
Yeah, I actually have a lot of things to talk about, but I’ve been too lazy to write. Maybe I’ll get to it this weekend (including a FKO report, what I’ve been reading/watching/listening, and other fun stuff…)
But for now, my good friend Eden has me totally addicted to the Pieces of Flair app on facebook. Go to my profile (or the app) to check it out.
Here’s a screenshot of my flair:
Go on
I don’t think I’ve shared this…someone posted a Firefly fan video on YouTube (specifically, a Mal/Inara fan video) set to “Go On” by Ookla the Mok. If you’re either a Firefly fan or an Ookla fan (or both!) you should definitely check this out!
Sidebar hackage
Bah. Looks like my sidebar has been the victim of some linkspam. I’ve alerted the proper authorities, and hopefully it will be dealt with soon. (technically, I suppose I could do it myself, but that would require a lot more time and energy than I want…)
UPDATE
It’s fixed, and I’ve been upgraded. My internet guys rock. 😀
Happy Birthday!
Today is Rand’s birthday. If you’d like to send along your birthday wishes, feel free to post them here. 🙂
Happy Birthday, love! 🙂
Spring Spring Spring!
I am *loving* this weather. No jacket, open windows, tweeting birds…ah, it’s been a long winter!
Had a wonderful time at FKO. More on that (with photos) at a later time. Photos are on the computer, but I need some time to deal with them before uploading them.
I had yet another interview for yet another long-term sub position today. I feel like it went very, very well. I should know something either way tomorrow.
Despite it being “No Housework Day” (thanks, Jen!), I’ve been doing a bit of laundry today. We usually do laundry over the weekend, and having been away, well…we’re kind of out of socks. 😉 Other than that, I’ve been trying to catch up on my various online things and organize a bit. Exciting, I know.
I posted over at the wedding blog about a really cool card/gift we got from our friend Walter over the weekend!
That’s it for now. Keep your eye out for details about the weekend, and happy spring! 😀
Blogged with the Flock Browser
This-n-that
- Jessica (aka Miss Shortskirt) has introduced herself over at Required Reading.
- I put up a 100 days progress post at the wedding blog.
- The “Doogie Howser ending” on HIMYM this week cracked me up.
- Rand and I watched The Mist. The ending made me angry. Not as angry as it made Seanan, I don’t think, but angry. I don’t want to give anything away, so that’s all I’m going to say. Grab me if you’ve seen it and want to talk about it.
Ummm…I felt like there was more, but I just can’t remember what right now. Enjoy!
New pens!
So last weekend, I ordered two pens from isellpens.com. This was the first one:
It’s a Duke pen, and it’s really, really pretty. The photo doesn’t do it justice at all. It also came in a snazzy case:
It came with a converter and also takes cartridges. Right now, I have a black cartridge (that came with the AldoDomani pen I bought at OfficeMax. It’s a medium point, and I don’t really care for it) in it. I like the way the pen feels in my hand, and it writes quite nicely:
The other pen, which I neglected to take any photos of, is a Hero 328. I like the way this pen writes, but it has a squeeze (bladder) converter, which is kind of a pain. I didn’t have any bottled ink (I just ordered some), so I filled it by cutting open one of my Sheaffer cartridges and dumping the contents into a bottlecap.
I have discovered that the Sheaffer ink cartridges don’t fit into any other pens. Bummer. I ordered one bottle of purple ink (I love purple!) and some black and blue cartridges, which should be here soon.
I did get those Pilot Varsity pens I ordered…and they’re fine, except that they claim to be fine point and I don’t think they really are.
And that’s my pen report for today. Whoo!
Happy Monday
I had a busy weekend and thus a lot to report on…but I’m feeling kinda blah right now. 😛
Quick version: Friday night, went to see Ookla’s bass player play with a cover band in North Tonawanda. Missed the first Buffalo Tweetup, but hope to make it to the next one!
Saturday, went to Club W to see our friend’s girlfriend compete in some sort of talent competition. From what we saw, she should have cleaned it up. She’s a singer-songwriter, and she rocks. Socialized at Pano’s afterwards.
Sunday, attended the “ladies who blog” brunch arranged by Jen. It was a lovely time. Hung out with Jen for a bit afterward, which was also nice…we don’t do that nearly enough! 🙂
Oh, and on Saturday, the two new pens I ordered arrived! I have pictures, and I’ll write a whole post about them soon. 😉
