This weekend I got a chance to go up to Beechwood for a couple of rights of passage. \u00a0One, I ate pretty much the best pizza I’ve ever eaten. \u00a0California Pizza Kitchen. \u00a0I was a little skeptical – I mean, you can buy these in the grocery store – but it was awesome. \u00a0I didn’t lick the plate, but it was close.<\/p>\n
As a new homeowner, it was inevitable that I make a\u00a0pilgrimage\u00a0to Crate and Barrel. \u00a0I was strong and managed to get out of there having spent less than 20 dollars. \u00a0[I got a blue glass bottle and a fake plant – but no crates or barrels].<\/p>\n
On Saturday, went to another ballet in the park. \u00a0Or rather, the cemetery. \u00a0The cemetery was really cool and peaceful. \u00a0The ballet was… long. \u00a0Some of the performances were impressive, but there was a fair amount of repetition too. \u00a0I was polite and respectful of the performance, but would have been fine with a shorter show. \u00a0Also, not nearly enough explosions.<\/p>\n
Went for a walk in the park on Sunday and did a little work on my Halloween costume. This year’s will be pretty involved and I’ll need more time than usual.<\/p>\n
Other highlights from the weekend:<\/p>\n
Went to\u00a0Spaghetti\u00a0warehouse for dinner and struggled again to get the meal I wanted. \u00a0Spaghetti, Pesto, meatballs. \u00a0Shouldn’t be that complicated. \u00a0They were having a rough night as it turns out – a party of 150 and another of 50. \u00a0Kitchen was slammed and a few people at nearby tables left without getting their food.<\/p>\n
Played some Dragon Age Origins. \u00a0Cured the werewolves, stopped an assassin, and rescued a village from the un-dead. All in a day’s work for my Rogue Elf Archer.<\/p>\n
Also played some minecraft. \u00a0Just got a little cave-house built and went outside at night to hunt monsters. \u00a0I was headed for an Enderman when a Creeper blew up right behind me. \u00a0Recovered from that, then chased the Enderman around while dodging arrows from the skeleton archer. \u00a0Very intense pixels.<\/p>\n
Read some more of my\u00a0Cthulhu\u00a0books. \u00a0A couple of the stories were really weird and scary, but the rest are somewhat lackluster. \u00a0I was hoping for more evil fungus or a color that will make you crazy to look at. \u00a0 You know, the classics.<\/p>\n
Spent a little time outside, got some good quality sleep, and watched a little True Blood.\u00a0All in all, a good, quiet, and restful – though somewhat busy weekend. \u00a0Oh, and I even did laundry and housecleaning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
