The weekend was a busy one. As they often are. Friday the 13th fun was had with friends at On’s Thai and then on to the nearby Turf Club. Saturday saw us at the first birthday party (with a rented bouncy castle!) for the daughter of friends and then on to Clockwork’s family friendly ArtCrank pre-party. Saturday night I attended two more shows with the man-friend (still need to process those photos). By yesterday I was ready for some quiet, and so was the lad. He just wanted to stay home. We skipped the Alpaca Show. I went grocery shopping solo. I skipped Charlie Parr at Palmer’s and a going away party. Instead in the evening I turned off my music to listen to the storm, while eating hot hot curry with cold Vinho Verde. Not too effing bad.
Five good things for today:
- HuffPost’s Barb Stuckey is like my soul sister. I was nodding my head while reading: Why Eating Should Be More Like Sex. I’d like to high five her.
- Friday was all gloomy and shoe-gazey. The weather isn’t much better today but I’m trying to pump things up a little with Hunx & His Punx, and Too Young To Be In Love.
- SO excited about the next Simon Pegg movie, A Fantastic Fear of Everything. Coming out June 8th. Yes.
- Looking forward to the Root Of All Evil Radio 25th Year Anniversary Party / Benefit (just look at all those metal logos!) with bonus Morticia reunion. Haven’t seen them in years and years.
- Beware of Mr. Baker indeed! Watching the trailer for that Ginger Baker documentary made me want to back away. Far far away. But he’s a talented crackpot, to be sure.
The week ahead is another busy one. Finishing off my taxes (yikes). Getting through yet another stack of summer camp paperwork. And somewhere along the way I’ve got to squeeze in some Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Fest screenings, before Record Store Day busy times on Saturday. And maybe fitting in brunch times with friends somewhere. These are logistical/lifestyle problems I can manage.
