alexiscartwheelEvery weekend should be a three day weekend. (Except for the part where I'd no longer be able to pay the rent, that would be AWESOME.)
It's been a very relaxing and geeky weekend. I had dinner with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bookwench31 on Friday night, and in addition to tater tots, I got an opportunity to talk Sci-Fi TV, including Doctor Who, Stargate Atlantis, and my recent obsession, Eureka. I started from the beginning of the series about two weeks ago, and I've almost caught up to the currently airing episodes. I'm sad that it got cancelled just as discovered how great it is.
Saturday was a football sandwich. Ohio State vs. Akron (Go Bucks!), then a trip to Ikea (on the weekend after students moved back to campus, smart), then Georgia vs. Boise State. Once again I missed the marching band alumni game. Maybe someday I'll make it back.
I'm reading two books: Death's Daughter by Amber Benson and The Last Dragonslayer by Jasper Fforde. The former is pretty awful, and I'm basically just reading it becausechuunthor, d4ni, and I for some reason thought that would be a smart idea. The latter is Fforde's latest, which hasn't been published in the U.S. And Seanan McGuire's newest comes out this week!
I'm currently rewatching the Library episodes from Doctor Who series 4 with friends. Now that we know more about River Song it seemed necessary. There's been a lot of Ten this weekend... Gridlock, Blink, Midnight, Turn Left, and now Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead. That plus the last two new episodes. Semi-related, I think I'm going to put together an Amy Pond costume for Halloween this year. Maybe I'll even go all out and dye my hair red.
Back to work tomorrow. :(
