Remember last week when I said I would stop doing these gigantic condensed weekend posts? Well, that'll be starting next week apparently.
Friday
Friday was the day of the company picnic, which I mostly look forward to only because I get paid for going to a park for 4 hours. I'm not a very social creature you see. My mom (for those who don't know she also works here) ended up bringing Beasely (the puppy) along so at least there was something to do for a while. I mostly spent a lot of time wandering around with the dog. Which is a fine conversation started by the way. People always want to know how old she is and such.
The one thing I should mention would be the egg toss contest. These were some really, really tough eggs. People were tossing them straight up in the air as far as they could throw them and they were bouncing when they hit the ground. So needless to say, this event took quite a long time to complete.
By the time we had to leave, I was totally beat and felt just like sleeping when I got home, but I somehow managed to stay awake and get in a little work on my various projects before I realized that I was just too tired to get anything useful done.
Saturday
The main plans for Saturday involved getting together with my friends for general hanging out. We watched some more anime stuff. Ah! My Goddess this time which was pretty good. I can see it has potential for being pretty entertaining. Then some more MST3K and a couple episodes of season 2 of Dexter which were very good. I highly recommend checking out Dexter if you've never seen the show. There was some frozen margarita action going on too, which served to make the suggested Trivial Persuit game later in the evening very entertaining (as per usual with such things). All in all not a lot to discuss but it was very relaxing.
Sunday
Sunday was going to be my serious work day. But first I had to spend an hour in grocery store hell. Seriously, it was every single slow moving and inconsiderate person on the face of the planet. It started out when the deli counter person who was waiting on me couldn't find anything I asked for. And thought that ham (what I didn't want) was turkey (what I did want). It was...not fun. That was followed by getting held up by people who park their carts diagonally across the asile, People who stop at the entrence to every asile in the middle of the store to check their shopping list blocking everyone behind them. The lady who paid by check. The lady with the wad of coupons. The person who wouldn't move their cart so I could start unloading my groceries. And finally, the woman who decided she would wait for her husband to bring the car around by standing in the doorway and parking her cart so nobody could get through. It was not a pleasant experience by any stretch of the imagination.
However, I managed to escape and got home to work on Wassy's website a bit more. I made some pretty good progress before I had exceded my limit for useful time worked and then spent the rest of the evening watching the closing ceremony for the olympics which was...cracked out as per usual. The chinese really do know how to put on a good show though. The amount of planning this must have taken is amazing. I'm really sad to see the olympics go because I thought it was a pretty fun year and a good year for the games in general.
So that was basically my weekend. Hopefully I'll be motivated to split it out to seperate posts next weekend because it's the weekend of the state fair.
This weekend was a very relaxing one for me, with a side of getting lots of stuff accomplished. Kinda a rarity these days. It seems like everything is either one or the other.
This was supposed to be the weekend I was going to go out to a LAN Party thingy that was going on in the local area with some of the guys I play Team Fortress 2 with because there was a TF2 tournament happening and it would have been fun to play it there. Unfortunately, it's coming down to the end of the school semester so I didn't think that taking myself out of commission for an entire weekend was going to do very much to help me get my schoolwork done, so I skipped it and hung out with Wassy on saturday.
We went out to the gym in the morning and did a little working out and then out for some shopping just to get out because it was supposed to rain yesterday (which it never did). Then we hung out for a bit, listening to music while I did a little bit of my homework and while she was making dinner (roast chicken...mmm). Then we did some more general hanging out stuff, watching some anime and then the MST3K-ed Manos: The Hands Of Fate which is always good for a laugh. I left earlier than I had wanted to because I developed a headache, but overall it was a very, very relaxing day.
Sunday was split between playing Final Fantasy X and working on my various projects. I also spent some time over at my parents playing with their new puppy. I'm not really a dog person, but she's pretty cool as far as dogs go. I have included a picture to prove that I was indeed playing with the puppy and actually allowed it to sit on my lap.
She's a purebred Maltese named Beasley. She ended up falling asleep on my legs because we tired her out while playing around with her. She's very cute, with a lot of personality. Not that I'd ever get a dog of my own (without being forced to), but she's ok in my book. She was sleeping prior to this picture, by the way...but the flash kinda freaked her out a bit.
