We have a big weekend. Tonight, I get to go on a date with my DH to see the new Stacy Peralta doc that a friend of ours was line producer on. We lamed out on all the free screenings we were invited to, so are going to the fancy reserved-seat theater and paying real money.

Tomorrow we are gardening, then going to see Tropic Thunder with our movie friends. Our realtor is a member of the local garden club, which she wants us to join as it is apprently a fun and funky group. Sunday, she is having a party for the club. She has a huge fig tree and we are all harvesting figs then making fig brandy and taking a bottle home. Should be cool!

Dear Associate:

If you are going to send emails making it clear that you think I'm stupid for not having already done something, perhaps it would behoove you to actually read your incoming emails first, just on the off chance that I have already done that exact thing.

OKTHNXBYE

PS You're an ass. Go away.

Weekend:

• Tonight just hanging out watching DVDs
• Tomorrow working on paper, getting TV fixed (finally), and dinner out with friends for one's b-day
• Sunday BBQ at DW's uncle's house

Weekend - tonight drinks, Sat. Brunch then bus to Catskills.

Vacation for a week woohoo!

My best loved Olympian will probably always be Greg Louganis.

Today, packing, laundry, printing, and examining the Dragon*Con pocket program.

Tomorrow, Empires concert, packing, and last-minute laundry.

Sunday, airport, rental car, and trying not to get lost on the way to my hotel.

It's gotten really dark here in the past few minutes. Now the wind's picked up--I think we're going to get rain. (It's even darker further north, towards the Wisconsin/Illinois line.)

Just checked the radar. It's a small cell right over us, heading rapidly northeast for the lake.

I dunno. Isn't the failure to do so actually kind of awesome, in that it places Associate's colossal asshood front and center, beyond even the most strenuous efforts at handwavey self-justifying denial?

ION, 2/3 of my office is gone today and I have been beavering away like a mad thing, with nobody to see or appreciate any of it (and I can almost guarantee that I'll get bitched out next week over some damn part of somebody else's job that I missed). I really want to come down with a case of raging (checks clock) 6-hour flu.

and trying not to get lost on the way to my hotel.

Call me if you do, but it's easy-peasy.

hahahahahaha. Sparky, Vortex, wanna chime in on this one?

Oh, the 6-hour flu sounds goooooooooooooooooood.

I kept refreshing for Olympics news. Now that the men's 4 x 100 is over and done with, and the right and proper team has the gold, I think I'm done.

You know, I'm totally over-invested in how a country I've never been to is doing at these games. But my Aunt's from there! And ita! So there's a connection! Honest!
