Playing catch-up

Rainy weekend, but we did acquire new deck furniture (and a massive amount of random crap at The Container Store, my new favorite place--which is NOT SAD, as you would know if you'd ever been there), and it didn't actually rain the day of the deck party--just cold and grey, but it could've been worse. A merry time was had by all, except that I think I scared away a gentler soul by drinking pickle juice. Sigh. We also grilled Johan's circus peanuts in the name of Science!, after which the most heard comment was "Just think of what that's doing in your stomach..." Finished the day by watching a most bizarre Japanese movie (but I repeat myself) called Battle Royale, wherein it is discovered that the Japanese govt. has passed a secret law to improve the youth of today by randomly selecting a 9th grade class every year, drugging them, dumping them on an island, and giving them three days to kill each other off; the last man standing gets to go home. Wackiness predictably ensues. It was an oddly compelling watch, but would definitely make an excellent drinking game, or MST3K candidate, or both.

Monday: lazing, Robot Wars, Warbirds. Tuesday: at sweh's, catsuits, chains, Manor House, Robot Wars. Yesterday: cursed. (Actually, I've been semi-cursed all week, but yesterday was the worst.) Couldn't go to class because Eli was out sick and since tactisle has been running late, *poke prod sulk*, that would've left Joe by his lonesome for over an hour; my love affair with the salad place came to a crashing end; the other salad place sucks ass; tired and back-achey and knee-achey and my ear still is randomly conking out; etc.
