Need More Beanbags
This weekend was pretty good. On Friday I did nothing and it was everything I thought it could be. I thought about going to see "Sin City" but it turned out I wasn't that motivated. I slept in till 11 on Saturday, then I donned on my workout gear and walked to the Subway near my house. That turned out to be a 15 minute walk one way. It wasn't that bad as the weather is really nice this time of year. Then I went home and had to get ready for my movie watching party that night. I went out and bought a couple of Star Wars beanbag chairs for my living room, cause I wasn't sure if there would be a lot of people there. I also arranged my new Star Wars toys as well as clean the house. Then people started arriving around 7. They kept on arriving and then I had about 20 people trying to fit in my living room. Some of them sat on chairs in the kitchen. I think some of them left since my place was at full capacity. I guess I need more beanbag chairs. Anyways, we ended up watching Billy Madison(hilarious) and The Princess Bride(chick flick). I think everyone had a good time. I got some comments like "nice setup you got here" and everyone noticed my Wonka Bar and Christmas Story Leg Lamp. Those are very kitschy. Sunday I did the usual church/Sunday School/Homeless thing. This time I was on the ministering side of the homeless and went around and shook everyone's hand and asked how they were. I even helped setup a tent. If you are ever homeless make sure to at least keep a tent. Later that night I went and played pool with a buddy, then I got home about 10. That was a long day. So I ended it by watching a movie about serial killer Ted Bundy. He was a very bad person. It was kinda like watching a car wreck. You flip channels and see something weird so you end up watching it. The movie was pretty good directorial wise and it is cool how he gets it in the end. Now I am back at work ready for a fun-filled week of documenting code.

My weekend wasn't too eventful, which after last weekend, was very nice to have. My department left work at 3PM on Friday and went to the Main Event for our reward dinner. Most people were bowling, but I was feeling a little non social, so I put about $10 in the Star Wars arcade game. After a while I warmed up and shot some pool/drank beer with some co-workers. The dinner was ok but nothing special. The rest of the night I spent at home alternating between computer games/watching Smallville/ and Bourbon & coke. That was about the same agenda for Saturday night too. Sunday was pretty relaxing. We just stayed around the house and played with the kido. We kept expecting bad weather, but it never came.

This is my first weekend not going down to Tinas in nearly two months so I enjoyed the slow pace emensely. Sorry I left you high and dry Friday, I had one of those headaches that I guess only teachers get so I just want up for the movie. I did get to feeling better around 12 that night so I got up and took out some other players on Battlefield 42. I filled Saturday and Sunday up from dawn till dusk with all the work I had been putting off (the work that I had been doing for Tinas house not mine). Beyond the normal house stuff, I did everything from changing the fuel filter on my car, cementing in new metal fence posts, weeding/fertilizing the yard, to cleaning out my garage. The list could go on for several more lines so needless to say I was sore Sunday night from all the work. I think its a good thing that we all take some time for ourselves. We are all so busy with the other people in our lives that we can sometimes forget about our own life. /// Perhaps you should buy a bigger house - yours just isnt designed for entertaining more than 10 or so people. Though its far better than mine that gets uncomfortable after 3. Anyway, I think its great that you help the homeless on a regular basis. I bet they really appreciate your kind heartedness.
