The weekend is kind of a blur. Its been relaxing, productive and fun. Movies and friends Friday, trooping (raised $320 for http://www.wrinstitute.org/) in Danvers, and meeting a kid named Anakin (!), seeing Jess and Tim, and hitting Erin's cookout on Saturday. We caught up on some netflix (Mothman Prophecies and Wargames). I had forgotton how much I loved Wargames. I think its the best, and most realistic hacker movie I've seen (from a technology standpoint i.e. how he did what he did). Also, it reminds one of the nuclear issue and its massiveness in the 80's. Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy were so young, and so cute! I definitely want to pick up this DVD at some point for myself.
We did some cleaning, gardening and yard lounging. Our massive 'Vader tree' area is all weeded, mulched, and we put all of the tacky law ornaments that we've received as gifts over the years around it (including the pink flamingos that Amavia and her Monkey left on my front yard on my birthday). I can't believe how much nicer it all looks! Pics to come later once we have them. We finally fired up the outdoor fireplace that Andy bought years ago and toasted some marshmellos over it in the dark. We visited with the fam, and had a generally good time. I've finished my book (review below) and will start "Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way" later today. That's after making some curried chicken salad for the cookout in Rockport, and switching the laundry over.
I'm finding less and less needs to be said here. I'm enjoying time away from the computer. I've got to work on striking a balance between living life and checking in here to keep up with people. I much prefer seeing people face to face :)
Now, my book ( Read more... )
