Well I guess I can't be totally grumpy about this morning. >_> My dept chair still is on vacation (until tomorrow) and my supervisor starts her vacation today. And Anj made a strawberry rubarb pie that is really gd awesome--why she claims she can't cook, I don't know. She even did a lattice top that's like perfect, and the filling's set perfect, and yeah.
So the weekend. Sat. was Michael and Deb's wedding, and it was really nice. Unairconditioned church, but the building was neat, and the ceremony really meaningful. It had a Renaissance theme, and one of the members of the wedding party does theater costuming and put together some very gorgeous garb for the groom, bridesmaids and groomsmen. Those with swords (medieval, military, what-have-you) did an arch as the two exited the church. Also was nice that I got to see some friends from back in college who now live on the other side of Iowa. Was really surprised and happy to see them. Need to try to email 'em.
Sunday went to Don's, which was also unairconditioned. Watched Rock and Rule, and the Daft Punk video Interstella 5555, which was actually pretty awesome (Arty'd shown me a clip from it awhile back). Don also showed some sort of Ultraman episode, but it was excruciatingly bad and boring. Other than that, game stuff was productive--got two levels with Nin-mage, so she's at 55. Most happy. Not looking forward to working on C'thun tonight though. Really dreading that actually.
Add a new fandom to my list. -__- Way back when, I'd read a couple of volumes Anj had of XXXholic and liked it ok, but wasn't avidly following it. Then I got curious about Doumeki/Watanuki (thx to people like Jackie and others) and end of last week went through a LJ community's links for fics...and kind of got hooked. >_> Read the volumes Anj has now to catch up--3-7 and ZOMG. HELLO. No one told me the slash in it was so not-subtle. I mean, I know it's CLAMP, but I still hadn't realized XXXholic was gonna be like that. So now...I'm really hooked. Really really. D: Spent some time this weekend scouring up what remaining fic I could find, tho I think I've read it all now. I'm leery of trusting CLAMP--I don't want to get X'd or Tokyo Babylon'd, but I know they do stuff that's not just character-breaking-angst, I mean look at Sakura. So, yeah. Hooked. Also really amused at how not terribly bishounen the two are...they're kinda goofy and gangly- looking--yet still it's charming and fascinating and Gah must buy manga. /d00m
I wonder how little work I can get away with doing (not doing?) today. Also, didn't permit myself coffee. Definitely suffering as a result.
