Last night's concert rocked. Dalek was interesting, but I read through the set (one vocalist and two guys at stations just doesn't interest my eyes, even if the DJ reminded me of the pilot on farscape). The Melvins were fun. Tomahawk was amazing, as usual.

Spent the night with Rick and Sarah and chatted with them this morning before heading off to lunch with Jonah, Kenn, and Eleanor at La Madeleine. Then we went to visit ashbet, Kyle, Kira, and Charlie. Yay! ismene was there briefly, too. Took Jonah back to Rick & Sarah's, then headed to Whole Foods for dinner and got on the raod for home around 9pm. Arrived home around 11:30, but the back door locks on the car froze so that we couldn't close the doors. Took us 15 minutes to fix, but now we know how to fix it the next time.

Anyhow, I'm really tired. I haven't read much LJ for the last two-three weeks and I don't expect to catch up. I'm really tired and achy and my belly hurts because I drank too much coffee today. I needed it to stay alert enough to drive, though, because boy was too tired.

If I can get my body to uncramp enough to fall asleep, I'll go to bed.

It was great seeing folks this weekend. I hope to get up there again sometime this summer. :)

Yes, so. On our way to Cville Saturday (to pick up the tickets boy forgot), the AC started making a high pitched squeal, I pulled off, boy turned off the AC/vent, and the noise stopped, so we continued on our way. As we neared Cville, I asked him to call Finley's and ask if they were open and could at least look at the car to make sure it wasn't likely to blow up.

They said it was the blower motor and that it likely just needs to be cleaned out, but that it's safe to use. (Actually, old Mr. Finley said, "I can't guarantee your car won't blow up, but I doubt the blower motor will make it explode or catch fire.") So, assured that we could continue driving the car, we headed for our house.

We grabbed the tickets, I took a quick shower (yay, a one day reprieve from DC water!), and we showed yurikokinje around the house. We also stopped downtown for pizza and then hopped into Coyote to say hello to xiane. mbickers drove past us and made cat calls, which I returned in kind. Then we headed back to DC.

Anyhow, terrapingardens was bereft at the lack of linkage in my earlier post. So, Rick and Sarah live at Terrapin Gardens, though they just bought a new house in Silver Spring. They close on 3 June and would probably be thrilled to show you pictures. It's cute, has a nice yard, and is located in a pretty neat neighborhood.

The other links on that page are for their pie tasting journal (yes, we have Weebl and Bob to thank for THAT one), Rick's rant/thought/brain chewing blog, and Sarah's... uh... Creative Juices...



Anyhow. I'm waiting to ismene to show up. She's stopping here on her way back to Indy and we're going for pizza. explodingcat and xiane will join us. I'm told that mbickers is at the farm, so she's too far away to tag along. briskpepper is going to be a quiet recluse and stay home, even though it would thrill boy beyond words to have him join us. ;) Maybe he'd like to come watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang with us some night. It's one of my favoritest movies.
