Another Long Tall Weekend

The last 48 hours have been busier for me than ususal*. (* in private life terms only)

  • Friday night meant a quick but guacamole-heavy dinner at Chipotle, then a 9:15 viewing of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas... in the Third Dimension.

  • On the ride home, Steve was commenting on the similarities in animation styles of Halloween Town and Christmas Town when one of his teeth popped right out of his head.

  • New preliminary djbware: qhasm-reg. It looks like he's started deploying critbit trees already.

  • Haircut. Serious haircut. My barber wasn't sure I was serious about getting my head shaved, but darnit, I was. To quote everybody's favorite psychopathic medical staff liaison, Sue White from Green Wing, "I am completely shaved."

  • Eye doctor appointment. Missed bus. Narrowly missed appointment (thanks, Jess!) All the exam, co-pay, new lenses/frames/anti-glare add-on nickel-and-diming still came to less than $185. I heart VSP.com.

  • Every waitress in the world last night seemed to be dressed like something. Dinner at Rock Bottom was a beer wench. How apropos. Breakfast at the IHOP was a gothy bat-winged girl who was punctual like a Swiss banker.

  • After dinner was the the annual Rocky Horror Picture Show live performance at CWRU. So much cleavage, you have to wonder where those nerds hide it the other 364 days of the year. Erica tried out a new character concept: the mistress of ceremonies. Same great attitude, but in a top hat, vinyl tails, and a white-tipped cane.

  • Daylight Saving Time ended. Fall back, folks. Every major device I own falls into two categories: the ones that automatically stay synced and the ones that I hate. I need to fix Erica's car's radio, the oven, the microwave, and my alarm clock. Bastards. I'm not sure I want to even think about the PS2 or GameCube.

  • This Sunday afternoon brings me a House marathon on USA Network. Yay.
