Memorable Day Weekend

Friday: Barely escaped work in time to get downtown and grab a bite to eat (damn you, Geraldi’s, for being closed that day!) before heading out to the airport to meet Dawn. After some confusion related to how well hidden the airport MAX station is, Dawn and I headed to my place to catch a breather before going out to Gustav’s with Lil’. Endured much teasing from the two women. Shucky darn, how will I ever survive?

Saturday: Shopping, mostly at the nearby mall and also a bit down at Powell’s City Of Books. The new Raymond E. Feist series’ first installment is out in paperback, yay! Then out to visit Mari, which included a stop at Uwajimaya and a lunch at the Sambi’s therein.

Dawn made Mari a present of a pink Hello Kitty apron, and it looks totally adorable on her. (Sadly, neither Dawn or I remembered to bring our cameras that day. Bad shutterbugs, no biscuits.) Once back home we hit the store for ingredients so Dawn could make din-din, which we enjoyed in between rounds of gaming.

Sunday: Vegetative. Didn’t bother to get dressed enough to leave the house. Read books, played games, generally relaxed.

Monday: Packing Dawn up to go home, surprisingly (or not) with more stuff than she had when she arrived. Got to the train station quite early, and everything went smoothly there for a change. She boarded, I went home and tinkered with ripping MST3K tapes to DVD. (Generally unsuccessful. Argh.)

Not too shabby of a three-day weekend, really. I didn’t even get called by the office. Huzzah!

    I believe I took back more than I arrived with, seriously. Damn you and forcing me to endure the torture that is known as Powells *smirk*

    How much MST3K do you have? Would you be interested in a tape/DVD swap? I have a few:

    Manos: The Hands of Fate

    Mitchell

    This Island Earth (the MST3K movie)

    Poopie! (Outtake/Blooper Reel)

    Eegah (on DVD)
