Q-cumbers and Games
Aug. 28th, 2006 01:36 pmAfter a week of travel, I needed a nice weekend. And I got it. I made beginets (poorly) and last night made some tasty Greek meatballs as an excuse to make cucumber-yogurt sauce with our home-grown cucumbers. We got a LOT of cucumbers this year, and it doesn't look like the vine is done yet!
I saw The Ghettobillies for the first time in about a year on Saturday. They just don't play Chicago much anymore. They're always in Michigan. They played a good (if short) set and had a decent crowd (thoroughly rocked). Susan liked them well enough. She liked them more than she thought she would, at least. Hiding Out and Dirty Hippies were her favorite songs.
We played a game called Pecking Order that was a lot of fun, though I crushed Susan pretty badly. I think she'll play again. She certainly doesn't hate it as much as Deflexion. I also decided this morning that I want Hive and have had to stop myself from just ordering it several times. Don't think that I won't have it eventually, though. Wish lists are a wonderful thing.
I have a jonsing to play some multi-player games (Grumbly? Pants? I'm looking at you.). I hope that Susan lets me host a game night in the next few months to have some of y'all over to play games with us.
I am moving at the end of next month. I'm moving in with Susan. It'll rock. My landlord wants to start showing my apartment, so I supposed I should do the dishes and make the bed and hide the porn and all that. I just might do that this afternoon for an hour or two. It was a nice little apartment, but Q's house is going to rule. The only reasons to go back to my apartment are to get the mail and watch DVR'd stuff. Moo moved in with Q a couple months ago and is slowly adjusting. She and Q's cats still hiss and fight, but it's getting better. Moo-Cow follows me around the house and watches me shower. It's cute. She also climbs in the drop ceiling in the basement and breaks the tiles, which is decidedly less cute.
So far, it looks like this will be a quiet week for travel. I have a brief overnight gig in Rochester NY on Tuesday/Wednesday, but it'll be easy. Expense reports, like always, are way behind.
So, a couple more hours here, then home to watch Deadwood on the DVR and clean, then to Q's for dinner, games, and smooching (not necessarily in that order).
El Famous Burrito nachoes for dinner. Is it "Nachoes" or "Nachos"? I vote for -es because it looks wrong and that's the American Way.
This is a long update for me.
