Three Day WeekendFollow

There's a difference?

My youngest turns 2, so we'll also doing the ritual dismemberment of small animal thing. In all likelihood though, it will be overshadowed by my brother-in-law who looks like he's getting forced out of his business by his partner. Should be some good dramas there.

Other than that I plan to be hiding in the corner playing video games; Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 and SWTOR mostly.

Happy birthday mini proteinguy!

We're entering the final week of school for the spawns. I decided to volunteer to make the video/slideshow for Xavier's fifth grade "graduation" ceremony, so this weekend I am taking advantage of grandparents living nearby and shipping the kids to them for a couple days. That way I can work, uninterrupted on going through the photos and trying to make something that won't embarrass the kid too much. Alongside that I'm hoping to finally see Iron Man 3, and maybe get some kayaking in. Oh, I also plan on getting trashed with Ms. Tare!

I've got moving to do so that's all I'll be doing, aside from having dinner at my mom's place.

Man, it's been years since I last had artichokes...

Jonwin got Friday through Monday off, as it's the weekend of Balticon 47. Together we will run Special Needs, Babysit the grand kids Sunday night during the Tech Party.and if lucky will last until the Dead Dog Party Monday after the truck is pack with all of the Balticon gear. Not staying at the Convention Hotel, as we broke from paying off new roof, just put on house. Instead we will be 3 miles down the road hoping that our room doesn't have bed bugs.

I am also putting some items in the Art Show, so I get a special ribbon and if lucky will sell most of the pieces. Last year I sold 4 items and made 42 dollars, from people who bid the minimum I would accept. This year I'll raise the minimum as I'm now a pro at this. Will have one pendant that is not for sale, since it is first fused Sterling Silver piece I done so far. Sterling Silver ring is for sale though. Rest of the Jewelry is copper and I have four brass plaques, one that I did for a Five tool Challenge in Jewelry Artist Magazine and the other three I did just for fun and the fact that I had extra brass to use. Photo are on Facebook of several of the items and that is were I'll be posting any photos of Balticon this year due to fact that I'm not a premium member here.

I have a couple cousins graduating from high school, so tomorrow is a dinner out to eat with some family members, and an open house on Saturday.

The long weekend was last week. You folks missed it.

General consensus on Zam is that it's great as an action movie, and the feelings on it as a Trek movie are split. I loved it, other people less so. I don't think I remember seeing anyone say they hated it as a Trek movie though. I think Kao was the biggest dissenter.

Anyway, I'm... doing pretty much nothing. I live on the Jersey shore, so traffic will be a pain in the *** for at least 2/4 days.

I have to do some work, in the form of proofing/editing grant proposals.

So, yeah, fun weekend.

Yes, but not at normal times.

That's what I was trying to convey (great as an action movie, split opinion on it as a trek movie, tried to steer clear of loaded language). Sorry if that wasn't clear.

When did we start this nonsense? If you graduate from every grade level, there really isn't a drive to get to the actual graduation, IMO. It's this "nobody loses" soccer game crap.



Be prepared for a disappointment. I was sad.

Well, it was a big deal back then not being eaten by a dinosaur.

Boy, I feel old since back in *my* day, elementary school lasted through 6th grade, then 7-8th were "junior high" then 9-12. And yes, there were ceremonies for "graduating" 6th and 8th grades.
