Twenty Seven

March 15th, 2004 No comments

Back at work after a most enjoyable weekend, and actually finding myself in a reasonably good mood at the office today, despite the fact that I spent at least part of my morning on the cold, wet, broken-glass-covered ground changing a flat tire on the Focus. Going to head out in a bit to get the tire checked out, hopefully it’s nothing major, as I really don’t feel like replacing another rim.

As for the weekend, Friday night was spent bowling with Amanda, Dan, Delia, Snood, Shadow, and Tim. We bowled two games, I did pretty poorly the first one, then threw 6 strikes in the second one. One of my better games, I think. Afterward, we made our way to Applebee’s for dinner, then the Milford crew went back to Milford and I went with Delia and Snood to Shadow’s house for a bit. Upon eventually returning to Manchester, we came to discover that Snood’s car was missing. A couple of phone calls revealed that it had been towed, which is fairly rare for my apartment place. So they ended up just crashing at my place (hooray for futon) and we got his car back in the morning. Never a dull moment. :)

Saturday was Delia’s concert with the Merrimack Community Chorus. It was a formal event, so I wasn’t so sure about going at first. Delia said I could just go in my normal work clothes, decent pants with one of my pocketed shirts. By the time I got home and was actually getting ready, I decided to don my suit for the event anyway. I think it was the first time I actually enjoyed getting dressed up for anything. The concert was quite good, and I’m looking forward to getting one of the recordings. Also looking forward to the next concert, which I intend to drag a couple of people along to.

On Sunday, I went with Delia to the mall, where she got a Hello Kitty pirate tshirt. I think it looks pretty cool. I’ll have to get a picture when she wears it. After that I tagged along for a meeting at Denny’s, which was apparently much smaller and less eventful than these meetings typically are. Afterward, we wandered over to Headlines, where Delia got a piece of jewelry that I have to keep away from her for a while. She doesn’t want too many people to know about it, so I’ll just be vague about it. :) From there we went to sit in on a D&D session with Shadow and Angel, which was vaguely interesting. I had very little idea what was currently going on, since they were in the middle of what sounded like a fairly complicated adventure. I think I might ask if I can join up with that group though, I miss playing, and it really doesn’t seem like Kris’s campaign is going anywhere.

So, that’s about it for my weekend. I’ve got some other ideas floating around in my head, but I’ll write them down later, I think.

Is that what I think it is?

In a moment that it probably takes a true geek to truely appreciate, something caught my eye on the wall at the local T.G.I. Friday’s. We were there last night, far too late (they were probably closed by this point) when I was just looking around and was surprised to spot among the rest of the junk screwed to the wall, a Commodore 64. We, of course, had to go over and poke at it.

I do somewhat wonder how those restaurants get their decorations. Are there companies that specialize in selling old junk to that sort of theme restaurant? There seem to be enough places that decorate that way these days.

Fortune Cookies

You will always be surrounded by true friends.

While I was updating some old posts to use the new fortune cookie banner thing, I ran across this fortune and it’s associated comment. What with Andrea getting in touch with me again recently, it makes me think. She probably thinks I’m quite the jackass at this point, but do I really care what she thinks of me anymore?

You will always have good luck in your personal affairs.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAH

Ahem. cough yeah.

Anyway, those of you who read my home page, rather than the LiveJournal copy of it, might notice that fortune cookies now have a little fortune cookie icon with them. I think it looks neat. No idea if it’s actually showing up in Internet Explorer though.
