Current Mood:  contemplative
I do miss you, my weekend. Where did you go?
Let's see. Saturday, there was a bit of an interpersonal melt-down to deal with. (Not mine, for a wonder!) Then a friend's birthday party. Or is that, "Bird-Day Party"? ;) I was very tired, and had a headache, so Da Boss and I left early. I may not be completely over this cold...
Sunday, Da Boss and I went up to the Asian Art Museum. They have an exhibit of a number of artefacts from Afghanistan, which was pretty darned neat! The gold from the Tillya Tepe tombs was stunning! It must have looked magnificent when it was attached to the clothing items it was part of. We also Did Some Shopping--or rather, she did and I walked along with her. We were both wiped out when we came home.
Monday was another shopping day, this time just me. Grocery shopping, in fact. That, and I finally picked up the digital TV converter boxes. Cute little scam; there were no $40 boxes in stock, so you could buy the $50 one or the $60 one. And of course you pay sales tax on the "full price", not on the price after the $40 discount card from the Feds. So the cheapest ones wound up costing me about $15 each. Oh well, at least our rabbit ears will still work next month.
Digital signal is pretty decent, though there are some odd artefacts. Like we can't get Channel 11 digital, while their analog signal always came in loud and clear. Like we can't get Channel 7 on any of the Channel 7 channels ("no signal"), but when we go to 23 (or thereabouts), the box seems to switch over to "7-1" and we can watch Channel 7. Like I said, kind of odd.
Played Pandemic last night with the Bird and her BF and one other player. I likes me that game! We played on medium-hard (four players, five epidemic cards). Lost two, then won the third.
The latest CPAP mask is not working out. It's coming off my face too easily, unless I really crank the straps down to the point that it's uncomfortable. So I need a nap, or lots of caffeine!
I also need the exterminator to call me back so I can make an appointment at my condo, or my tenants will be quite unhappy about the ants invading their place!! |
