I picked
Saturday:
Slept in til about noon, cuz we were out so late on Friday. Then, since the cleaning fairies hadn't shown up while we were sleeping, HB & I had to clean the house. Then,
I know I will forget some people, but here's a partial list of all who showed up:
We had brains, meathead, evil chocolate bars, cthulhu peeps, little weinies, and much yummy italian food. I had also purchased a chocolate free/Cheb friendly cake which I persuaded
The entertainment for the evening consisted of the ultra disturbing <i>Happy Tree Friends</i>, Hellhouse staple Rejected, scary Texas Pentacostals in HellHouse, and
There were lots of people that I never really got a chance to chat with, but a good time was had by all.
Since the theme of the party was Romans & Zombies, everyone with a Feb, Mar, Apr birthday got a Roman laurel headpiece, so I made sure that my little April Fool kitten, Lump, got hers.
Monte & I got to spend a fair amount of time geeking out about cameras. My Canon G3 is still a fairly new toy for me, but I'm really not sure how I used to survive without it.
I'm sure there were other important things that I am forgetting, but if I knew what, I wouldn't be forgetting it, now would I?
Sunday:
Slept til about 11, and found a living room with peple watching Zombie movies. Guy & Wendy had planned to spend the night, cuz they live about 1000 miles away, and Cheb had an evil plan to cook breakfast. I am very impressed. She did much cooking in two days, and there were no fires! She was starting on the bacon & pancakes at about noon, and I had to take off at 12:30 for my class & to drop HB off at Nels' to get his bike out of winter storage, so I took a plate of pancakes to go. They were yummy. Turned out I could have eaten it at home, cuz class started an hour late cuz C. was stuck in traffic caused by a marathon in St Paul somewhere.
Sunday night was the Oscars, which I was pretty apathetic about this year. I hadn't seen most of the movies, and with the war & all all the Red Carpet & such was toned way down. On the plus side, I didn't even see Joan Rivers! Steve Martin's hosting wasn't bad, it wasn't great, it just was. Not a lot of great moments. Not enough Ben Affleck sightings, too much J. Ho, Halle Berry looked fabulous, Catherine Zeta-Jones looked very pregnant, Michael Moore was very outspoken, Chicago won a lot. Eh. Just wasn't getting into it. ChubbChubbs won animated short!! Mickey Mouse was a presenter!
And that's the weekend that was.
