1. Most of y'all know that
2. Wednesday I had my mid-term for Interpersonal Communications. I got 89% on it, so a B, but only one point shy of an A. Should still pull off an A for the class.
3. Thursday afternoon was the memorial for Rachel. I saw many people I don't see often enough.
4. Thursday night was the INXS concert. It had originally been scheduled for the beginning of February but the lead singer had gotten bronchitis and so the Mpls show was rescheduled.

6. Friday evening
7. Saturday we spent the whole day at the con. I got Gigi Edgely's photo with Moose & my Chiana. I also got to spend a lot of time chatting with various people.
8. Sunday was my cousin's baby shower out at my mom's house. I saw my aunts & my cousins & my monkeys.
9. Sunday night was the Oscars. We had a pretty full house for them, and
And that's what I've been up to...
Long version:
1. I never got to know Rachel very well because I rarely saw her, and I only knew Scott slightly more, but I still felt the loss. Rachel was always smiling every time I met her. The comedy show was brilliant. The three groups that performed were Five Man Job, The Scrimshaw Brothers, and Idiot Box. I'd only seen the Scrimshaws before and not nearly as often as I should have. All three groups were so funny. My face hurt at the end of the night from smiling so much. My absolute favorite part was one of the Scrimshaws doing an interpretive dance to Toby Keith's Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue.
2. I was hoping I'd do a bit better on the test, but considering that this was my first 'read the book and remember stuff' test in over 10 years, I'm pretty darn happy with 89%. Plus, now I'm on spring break which just means that I don't have school on Wed or Thurs this week.
3. I saw Becky & Tyler, who I hadn't seen since Becky's birthday dinner. I also saw Cyd, who I didn't realize knew Scott.
4. The INXS concert was that night. I took a few pictures... Yeah, I know. Go figure. Marty Casey and Lovehammer opened. They were all right. Marty is pretty. The only songs I knew that he sang though were Ring of Fire and Trees. As for INXS, I thought J.D. did a good job. I'd never seen the original INXS in concert so I have no basis for comparison, but it was fun. I get the impression that he's a cocky bastard, but if you were in the same position, wouldn't you be? After the concert Marty was signing autographs in the lobby. No pictures though so I couldn't get the picture of him with Moose that I was hoping for.
5. I'd called
It was great fun having Jane stay with us. She's a spaz, but that's ok because we like her that way!
6. When
So I got his signature and we got our tickets for the comedy show picked up and Rick & I started wandering off. Then I realized that I had never gotten his pic with Moose! Ack! So we stopped back & I got the picture.
Then we went to check out the dealer's room. There was a guy who had both puppet Angels!
After that we were back out in the hall while they set up for the comedy show and Gigi Edgely was at her table signing stuff. I got my Farscape postcard signed and talked to her for just a little while before we went in to the show. Dean was funny as hell again, just like the last time we saw him. It hurt from laughing so much. Then
I ran into
7. We got back to the con shortly after noon on Saturday and went on in to Gigi's Q & A session. She's so darn cute! Afterwards when we were waiting to get her picture taken with my laptop, Chiana, the line was moving super slow because she was talking so much with everyone. Rick wanted to go to some guy's panel so he got out of line about 15 minutes before I got up to the front. So he missed out on the Gigi time. I got an 8x10 signed by her, and then the pic of her with Chiana and Moose. Around that time I was starting to get hungry and I had run into
8. Sunday morning was me finishing cleaning the house.
9. I was home about 45 minutes before people were expected to arrive. I got the Tivo set and got the crock pot stuff ready to go. We had a pretty good turn out for the Oscars.
