rivendellroseSpent yesterday hanging with the usual suspects - 10am karate with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zinjadu and coramegan at the IMA, which went very well (turns out that although my body took forever to remember a simple pivot - no, I'm not sure why, either - I have a natural talent for jamming the heel of my palm into the face of an imaginary enemy. Go figure), then a nice walk home, groceries, and watching nekokoban start to play "Fatal Frame II"... which resulted in the collective female population of the house all screaming every time a ghost turned up. It's a damn pretty game, though.
After that, spent entirely too much time revamping my icons for IB (yay! new PB!!), and headed off tocoramegan's to watch the end of "The Elegant Universe," hosted by the sexiest physicist ever, Brian Greene. The last installment definitely made up for the somewhat elementary stuff in the first, and the amazing repetitive-ness of the whole thing. Ah, TV documentaries - repeat the subject every five seconds, just in case the audience has forgotten what you're talking about. But this one was sooooo good. ♥ And we had sandwiches, and lots of random talking and joking around, as always. It was lovely.
Today... I'm working on fic, and trying to get reading done. Lots and lots of reading. But at least one of the books is legitimately fun, so that makes it easier.

A) in the bathroom, because there was a commercial, but didn't get back in time
B) making a snack because there was a commercial, but didn't get back in time
C) checking on the kids/pets because there was a commercial, but didn't get back in time
D) any number of other things, because there was a commercial.
Sounds like you had a really fun (and busy) weekend. Now I must go read your new fic--WHEE!!!!!
Today I watched War Stories, (as much as Grandma loved Jayne, she HATES Nisska. She was very glad when that ep was over, but she loves the series, and when she's done watching them, she wants to see the movie!) Out of Gas, Jaynestown, and Our Mrs. Reynolds.
Have a great day tomorrow. I saw that there were some places that had flooding up in the U district. I thought about you since you and Erin's rooms are below ground level, but I'm sure something would have been posted or you would have called had there been a problem.

Awwww... that's so wonderful, I'm glad she's liking it! Niska's definitely a nasty person, but he's such a fun villain to hate. How'd she like Jaynestown and Our Mrs Reynolds?
Nope, no flooding here. *Knocks on wood* That would be in the U-Dist proper, I'm guessing, where assholes like my former landlord on 47th get away with murder because students want to live close to campus and don't know any better.
You have a good day, too!
