weekend update
Feb. 7th, 2005 10:28 amThis is turning into a pattern: sleeping long hours on Sat. and not getting out of the house until Sun. I'm at least getting exercise on Sundays, but yikes. I used to be/feel more lively! On the plus side, I read 2 Jennifer Crusie books and Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, which is the most I've read in a long time. Now that I have the Tivo, my down time is mostly devoted to watching/clearing things off it so I can record more. The Crusie's were fun, Stiff was very interesting.
Firesign Theater Friday night was dreadful. We left at intermission. A few people walked out; if intermission wasn't imminent, we would have too. The humor wasn't funny or smart - it reminded me of skits I wrote in class in junior high, plus some homophobia and general nastiness. It was a big venue, though, and *some* people were laughing really hard. Maybe they were staff/plants. Or idiots.
On Sunday, I repeated the hike Katerinabead and I took last weekend. It's amazing how much water has dried up already. Several of the little streams are now tiny trickles. One waterfall is a drizzle, not a fall. The buckeye trees up the hill out of the trailhead have sprouted. They look like tiny palm trees held onto the branches with rubber bands. The sprouts from the actual buckeyes that rolled down the hill and gathered under an old oak are gone, eaten, I expect by deer and/or rodents.
It is SO busy at work these days! back to it.
