[General] My long weekend

Well, I am 75% of the way through my long weekend, and I can say that I have done nothing since Friday afternoon.

Well, nothing might be a bit extreme. But I haven't done much.

Friday night, we scooted out to Annapolis for a bit. John had a guitar lesson and I wanted to hit the used CD store. I bought some new George Michael (un-used) and some old George Michael (used). We went to Red Robin and I had a good cheeseburger.

Saturday, Philip came over and we played my recently-acquired Settlers of Cataan game--he won--and contemplated going to see Life of Brian in re-release. We didn't do that, although I am having trouble remembering why. I think that it was because it was late and John wanted to fish on Sunday, which he did.

So, Sunday, John went fishing and Philip and I went to 5 Guys for lunch--yummy fries!--and then, while we waited for John to get back from the fishing, I demanded a rematch. This time, the cards and dice were kind to me and I kicked a little Cataan butt. We didn't go to the movie again on Sunday, though, and again, I am unsure why. I did begin, at this point, to wonder if we would actually muster the energy to go at any point. Anyway, we went to Bugaboo, where I had a really wonderfully-cooked steak and some yummy mashed potatoes, plus some strawberry shortcake. The mushrooms were lame (I really need to remember that I don't like them there), but the waiter was delightful, so that made up for it somewhat.

Today, I sat. In the chair, in the living room. I watched some TV, I surfed the net. I tickled the cats. In short, I did nothing, till evening, when Philip came over and we went to the Bob. I got some pancakes and coconut creme pie. Then we headed to Borders where I picked up a couple books and a DVD --Bubba HoTep!--which brings us to now.

So, to sum up what I did with my holiday weekend, I slept, I bathed, I watched some TV, I read some Internet, I bought a new book. I watched a baseball game. I watched a bad Steve Martin movie. I had a good steak, two good cheeseburgers, some yummy fries, some lame mushrooms, toast, ramen noodles, pancakes and coconut creme pie.

We never did make it to Life of Brian.

We did nothing taxing, nothing exciting.

Just the way I like it.
