good weekend? fuck yes good weekend

[rone]

2wanda and i went to Dishdash yesterday to have lunch with the lovely madmerle and the irrepressible drieuxster.  drieux is entertaining and educational.  He also won't shut up.  The three normal people had a pleasant conversation during the silent gaps while drieux was swallowing.  Three hours later, we managed to escape by distracting him with what i assured him was a small swatch of fabric from Barry Goldwater's favorite suit, in exchange for which madmerle gave us a bottle of Smoking Loon 2005 Syrah.

That evening, we went to thib_gc's birthday party, and we picked up sandollar17 so she wouldn't have to walk there in the rain.  A fabulous time was had, and much wine was drunk; someone brought a bottle of Ravenswood 1996 Zinfandel, which i thought might be past its prime, but my fears turned out to be unfounded.  We donated our bottle of Dunnewood 1997 Charbono Port to the cause.

Kim prepared a feast today for her knitting circle; sandollar17 came, and so did amywithani and racerxmachina, and somehow palecur snuck along, so we played Magic: The Gathering with Type P decks as i looked over my shoulder in case work reared its ugly head.  And now, it's time to get to bed.
