scottobearTook care of bills and had a nap while BHK ran to the store for last minute provisions - guest feeding is important. I was really bushed after last week's Danny-visit, and was needing the makeup sleep.
Misc cool stuff - Earth and Jupiter as seen from Mars picture and Desktop Tower Defense game. The latter is fairly addictive.
First major foray as a handyman-hubby looks to be repainting / doing some tile in the #1 bathroom. The former owner painted over wallpaper, and the steam heat of showering has slowly started to curl and peel... not to mention get a little bit of mildew underneath... time to peel it up, put down some grout and tile that bad boy. (After our guests leave - BHK and I will probably start next weekend.)
I wonder why so many people update their journals primarily when they're annoyed - is it more cathartic to just get peeves out on paper (or on screen) than it is to write about more enjoyable pursuits? Maybe that's why so many people kill off journals periodically, too.
I'm enjoying revver more than youtube... primarily because the compression isn't as foul.
Newsoms got here without a hitch - it's always good to see 'em. The boys are planning on doing a little fishing while here, and the girls are looking forward to some non-fishing related fun.
Played some Godzilla Melee and Rampage with Bugah, who is always up for some city-stomping fun while other folks hung out. Good folks, nice times.
Tonight we had some hot dogs on the grill (giant ones BHK found, and some jumbo veggie-doggies for me), took a walk on the boardwalk and beach, picked up a bottle of wine or two and some chocolate, and returned home to play a little Hunter & Gatherers. Bugah won handily, despite saving his river-huts until near the very end. I think Carcassone H&G plays better with more than two players.
