Just like any other Thursday

[dancerjodi]

Bills are paid, I have a meeting to prep for. I'm looking forward to spending some time with B tonight and going for burritos and goffee.

The drive in was wonderful. Working for a hospital, I don't get a lot of these floater holidays off (after all, we're never closed). I'll be taking some time off around Thanksgiving though - the Wednesday before and the Friday and Monday after. I can't believe that's the week after next!

I have a 50th anniversary wedding party to go to on Saturday afternoon for my Mom's Aunt and Uncle and I have no idea what they are into. Do any of you guys have suggestions for a gift? I was thinking perhaps a gift cert to a restaurant in their area or something. Any good places near Dedham you can suggest? Please help, I'm totally lost with it!

After paying bills I'm hoping to have cash for that, for the Rebel Legion banner we ordered for our table at Super Megafest (got the tablecloth last night - God I've missed living near to Party Needs), *and* for new tires. I should be able to leave the car at NTB on Sunday. Its going to hurt paying for it, but I want to get it over with before the big S word arrives and if I don't do it know when I have the money I may not have money later for it! I also just ordered a copy of that Disney Documentary that the old incarnation of Waltham the band was in, "America's Heart and Soul". It comes out tomorrow, only cost $13 and I figured it would be a cool thing to own. Their segment is really a riot and I hope to share it with all of you at some point (bwahahaha!).

This weekend should bring The Incredibles (we're planning on catching it in Waltham Friday night - sources say that theater does have the Episode III trailer), the anniversary party, Megadeth, raking leaves and a lot of homework.

In Dedham? How fancy do you want the restaurant to be?

"In Dedham? How fancy do you want the restaurant to be?"

They don't strike me as fancy eating out people really . . . even if I got them a couple different gift certs to chain places, it would give them the opportunity to go out but (I'm guessing) whatever their preferences they could find something they like.

I know where Dedham is, but don't know what's around it - so I'm sort of stuck.

There is a Piccadillie (sp?) Pub.

The Chateau is in Norwood, but right on Route 1 and an easy trip from Dedham. My grandparents always enjoy eating there.

I was wondering how far the Chateau was from them, because I knew it was nearby (and, I could stop at the Waltham one to get a gift cert).

Though come to think of it, my grandmother may give them a gift cert to the Chataeu . . . she gives those to EVERYONE as gifts (not that I'm complaining, I love their toasted raviolis).

I think I'm going along a similar line and getting them one from Vinny Testas. Thanks for the tip!

I saw them once a long time ago at Club Babyhead (now club hell).

[labellemargaux.livejournal.com]

i remember babyhead in college. :)

I think this was in HS -- actually, I think I was supposed to be in college but I was in my rock star phase.

Which means I was washing dishes and realizing that I damn well better get my ass to college.

I'll check with Brian and get back to you. I'm not a fan of any of those bands specifically, but its been a while since I've been to a metal show at the Palladium.

Hey, and that's sort of local for you :)

And in other news that you may be interested in (though you may know already). There's an awesome privately owned bookstore in Worcester - Tatnuck Booksellers http://www.tatnuck.com/NASApp/store/IndexJsp. They are in the process of opening one now in Westborough: http://news.bookweb.org/news/2634.html

i'm not a huge fan either, but it would be fun to get some people together and check it out. i've never been to a death metal show before. :) let me know!

and thank you for letting me know about the bookstore! i hadn't heard about it.

I think we're going to skip it. Thanks for the invite though (and, I hope you're able to get a good group)!

When we're in Dedham, which isn't very often, we usually eat at Vinny Testa's. Would they like that sort of a place?

[myscarredwrists.livejournal.com]

That's what I was going to recommend. So yummy.

Hmm,

[dancer.livejournal.com]

Vinny Ts is a great idea (thanks both of you)! Not too fancy but not a dive either and I'm guessing there is a good enough variety of food that they'd find something good.

I'll stop at the Lexington one tonight and get a gift card :)

It did have the episode III trailer last weekend.
