So yeah, I didn’t get around to blogging about events from last week / weekend until recently (like, past couple days). Between being busy and just plain lazy, it just didn’t get done. So I apologize if any of you were reading my posts in your feed reader where I’d say “today” when I was writing for the days in question. What can I say, I’m lazy. To recap from Saturday through today, here’s what I’ve been up to.
Saturday my brother and sis-in-law threw a party at their house. They’re about to be parents, and figured they’d throw one last big bash before the little’un arrives. Had a good time out there, even though I ended up having to grill up a pile of sausages because my brother is even more lazy than I and couldn’t be bothered to feed his guests. Hrmph! 🙂
Sunday I did nothing, absolutely nothing, and it was glorious. I spent the day watching the Netflix movies that Kelly had already seen, watching a lot of television, and just generally lounging around ignoring all the productive stuff I could have been doing (including blogging).
From then on, it’s been work work work. There’s a helluva lot to get done this week, and it’s stressing me out man! That aside, last night Kelly and I met with Kelly’s ex-coworker and her boyfriend at the Lucky Lab in Multnomah Village. I think I prefer the one on Hawthorne, but it was still a good time, and their pizza is good.
And tonight (right now, actually) Kelly and I are sitting here at the Mash Tun brewpub, both armed with our laptops, nerding the night away and having a good time doing it. 🙂
The weather has been VERY nice the past few days… cooler (in the 70’s) and rainy. After the nearly 100 degree heat from a couple weeks ago, it’s a welcome change. Anyway, that’s it for now. Hopefully I’ll be slightly less of a slacker… but don’t count on it… not until the workload lightens up.
Went to a great show tonight at McMenamins Edgefield, I got to see a great local band who I’ve been wanting to see for a few years called Menomena, and for the third time, The Decemberists. I hadn’t seen a show at Edgefield before, and it was a pretty fun experience, especially with the great weather today. While a bit warm, it was a great place to see a show. Menomena were fantastic, and were as great (or better) live than their records. 
Decemberists also put on a fantastic show, though I was saddened not to see Lisa M. from Talkdemonic on stage with them like their last show. It was still a helluva good time. Decemberists did play Eli, the Barrow Boy and The Mariner’s Revenge Song (neither of which they played at the last show I saw them at) and during Mariner’s, they brought out some people under a giant whale outfit, which was a lot of fun. Was a very fun show, and a fun evening.
