moonwiseI haven't blabbed about my weekend in weeks! I'm sure you all missed it a LOT.
Busy weekend, but in a good way. Friday night we went out for a very swank dinner at 3 West with one of my husband's friends from the R&A. They're visiting the USGA this week, and husband is good friends with the technical director. I tried merguez for the first time, and we had a lovely bottle of cabernet to go along with dinner, and dessert was banana and peanut butter spring rolls with vanilla ice cream. Mmmtasty.
Saturday was spent on domestic duties such as cleaning the floor and bathroom and making polenta and spezzatino for dinner (alternately titled "How Arafel Discovered the Joys of Instant Polenta.") Normally to make polenta, you boil cornmeal in water while stirring until it softens and cooks, and it takes 30 to 40 minutes. Instant polenta - dump it in and it's done. w00t! Husband spent the day setting up our new home theatre system, and we tried it out on Serenity, which![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fadingembers gave me for Christmas.
Sunday was Team Haxx0r Cosplay Day.jaina came over about noonish, and we spent the day on our knees in the kitchen (not that way, you dirty pervs!) drawing lines on black fabric. I have to say that things went VERY well, and we had plenty of time to watch Bleach 64 before we moved on to basting pleats in front of the Steelers/Broncos football game. Lookin' good for Katsucon, yes. Afterwards, I did some work on my own cosplay while dropping in and out of watching the Panthers/Seahawks game. We had the Traditional Football Meal of bratwurst on a bun with sauerkraut accompanied by beer. Neither game was terribly exciting, IMO - both the Broncos and the Panthers committed four turnovers, and you can't do that shit esp. in the playoffs and expect to win.
Now, back to work. I have done nothing productive for work all morning. Oh, and GIP too.

I've only seen two eps of Firefly, and one of the things I liked best was that the characters are wearing interesting clothes, not the flat, uninteresting, kindergarten-colored stuff that seems to be the hallmark of Star Trek. We might pick up the series once we're done watching House and Arrested Development.
