The Fun Fun Times for Me!!

So after the fiasco that was the Foals concert, this past weekend actually turned out to be pretty fun.

Thursday night, as evidenced by my last few posts, was the SSLYBY show, which was a lot of fun.

Friday was mostly spent hanging out around the house. I got Jonathan's car washed, and then we all piled in the van to go pick him up from BWI. After getting slightly lost, we went out to Il Porto, which is one of my favorite restaurants that we hadn't been to in a while.

Saturday we celebrated my Mom's birthday by going to the Textile Museum in Washington, DC. It was actually pretty fun. They had an exhibit about Indigo and how it is used as a dye, and they had lots of cool textiles hanging up. They also had a trunk show going on with lots of cool quilts w/modern designs on them.

After that we got some bubble tea and some fried ice cream (delicious!) and then walked along Embassy Row/Mass. Ave until about 5pm. All of the embassies and residences were beautiful/interesting and it was beautiful outside: good weather, lots of trees, etc.

After that we went out to dinner at India Palace, where we bumped into Ms. Amberg, of all people! She was me & Jonathan's compsci teacher in High School, and she's rediculously nice. We both hadn't seen or talked to her in years, so it was nice to catch up.

Then Jonathan went into DC to hang out with some of his friends, so my parents and I watched some Doctor Who (Season 3, Ep 1) . . . they're a little behind, but I couldn't resist watching it with them.

Sunday I just hung out around the house and then went to the Seder at my church at around 6:30. We're not Jewish (we're Episcopalian), but since my dad grew up Jewish, we've been known to do a passover seder at our church. We hadn't had one in several years, though, so it was really fun, especially since Jonathan was there. The only problem was that I'm trying not to eat very much meat anymore, and the only other thing they had there was salad (which I hate) and bread (which I ate). The plethora of desserts more than made up for the lack of diversity in the main course, however.

After that, Jonathan went to Baltimore to meet up with some friends and my parents and I watched another episode of Doctor Who (Season 4, Episode 2 -- The Shakespeare Code). That episode is quite fun for me b/c not only do I love Shakespeare, I also love Harry Potter, which they mention 3x. Its making me want to reread the 7th book b/c I've only read it once, the day it came out. I've just been so bummed about HP being over that I haven't been able to make myself read it again, even though deep down I want to...*sigh*. I brought it with me to work today, just in case.

So today I'm doing day shift, which hasn't been too busy, and then I'm going to have dinner with my family b/c today is my Mom's birthday. Then I'm driving Jonathan to Arlington to meet up w/some of his coworkers before a conference that they're going to starting tomorrow. After that I'm probably going to watch this past Saturday's episdoe of Doctor Who, which I am rather looking forward to!

Tomorrow night I'm seeing Teitur @ Jammin' Java and Thursday is HANSON!!!!

More to come when I think of something interesting to say :O)
