Quite a busy weekend, best evidenced by the fact that I'm only writing about it on the following Thursday.
Friday evening![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jaynefury and I saw the latest X-Men opus. It was, as the saying goes, not horrible. It did make me want to see the other two, which I had been avoiding. Thus, the past two nights have involved the DVD player, a comfy chair, and mutations galore. What impressed me most about the films, I think, is that the third is very neatly a complete inversion of the first.*
On Saturday we headed up to Seattle's FolkLife festival with Victoria,gaelfarce, pi_radical, and singing_barista and her James sans LJ. Before we left, I checked three different weather services, and each gave completely different forecasts. Hot? Cool? Raining? Sunny? They all said something different.
Odd thing was, they were all correct in turns. I took off and put on my jacket and sweater so many times, I could feel myself burning calories in the effort to maintain a constant body temperature and surface moisture.
So. Drumming, dancing, eating, and watching folks prance around with bells, sticks and waving hankies. Good times.
Sunday after church was some major Hârnination. A combination of transporting a large rock, various peoples prosecuting a Kaldoric civil war, and the odd insane Sheriff proved a nearly lethal trifecta for the players. I'll try harder next time.
Monday was a day of errands oft neglected, though we had a nice dinner withsinging_barista and her James.
Meanwhile, at work we continue moving towards the hectic end of the year, preparing for next year, and dealing with a new pastor (a swell guy, but not yet arrived) and a new principal (not yet hired). No stress there. Huzzah!

* Islands on opposite coasts, curing mutants vs. mutating everyone else, and lots of other things I can't quite remember just now.
