moonwiseKnow what I did this weekend? Jack shit. I needed one of those.
Well, that's not technically true. After running around the country these last couple weekends, it was lovely to stay home and sleep in my own bed. Mmm, bed.
Friday, I went out with some coworkers to see Goblet of Fire. It was a fun time out. We went to Fuddruckers for dinner and then lined up for the movie at 6 PM. One of my friends was carrying so much candy in under her coat that she looked pregnant. (And, she shared. Yay!) I enjoyed the movie - unlike PoA, I felt it left out the parts that needed to be left out (for example, all that crap with S.P.E.W., which annoyed me in the book) and included the parts that needed to be included. Unfortunately, the length of the book almost guaranteed that some characters were going to be reduced to bit parts, and the action felt choppy in places. Nevertheless, I'd see this one again.
We were looking forward to enjoying our respective hobbies on Saturday, me with a cosplay, husband with winterizing his car, but my parents called up early that morning and asked whether they could come visit. Apparently waiting five days to see us at Thanksgiving was too long. We sighed in resignation - we're not too good at saying "no" to family - then cleaned the entire apartment in about two and a half hours. It was a nice enough visit; lunch out, then a trip to the mall to pick up my husband's new suit. They didn't stay overlong or try to force dinner out of what was obviously a lazy day for the two of us.
I finally got to work on cosplay all day long on Sunday, even though the Eagles-Giants game was on. I did a lot of screaming at the TV while basting pleats, and some of it must have gotten through, because the Giants pulled out a win. The Eagles' backup QB acquitted himself well, all things considered. He was a former Rutgers QB filling in for McNabb, and the game saw the first completed pass ever in the NFL from a former RU QB to a former RU receiver. Go us.
This week I expect to be quiet, as many people take the three days off before Thanksgiving. We're having holiday at my inlaws' house but staying with my parents until Saturday, at which time we'll head back up here for the Rutgers football game.
And that's about all.
