Dragon's Musings
19 April 2004
Hm... Hm... Weekend.
Friday Night
Went to see "Home on the Range" with Kate and Ginger. Warning, this is classic Disney camp. However, it was much much fun considering that Ginger was Maggie, Kate was Mrs. C, I was Grace (the three cows), and there were assorted other attributes we could match nearly spot-on to people that we knew personally. Hoo boy it was fun, I was weeping from laughing so hard.
Anyway, can I just say: Stupid Freaking Michael Eisner for making this the last classically animated (aka by hand) feature film from Disney. Michael Eisner, you suck and I hate you. Take a look from your recent returns on movies. People don't buy into 'gimmicks' they buy into good stories, start telling them again, and things will perk up.
So after that, we went and got food and beverage at Wegmans, so that I wouldn't turn into the dehydrated cranky bitch at Coronation. Crawled into bed after midnight, though I didn't really get to sleep until 1 am.
Saturday
Six o'clock in the morning.
Well, it's my own stupid fault. But I wanted to see a coronation, and it said that court started at 10, so considering how long it takes to get into garb, etc, I wanted to be there by 9:30, which meant leaving at 6:30 in the morning, which meant waking up at 6.
Well, I overestimated time once again. Plus, we left probably around 6:15. Kate was asleep from the time we backed out of her driveway to the thruway toll-booth in Buffalo. I didn't mind. I had my music on. And the sun came out in Batavia.
Coronation was fun. I had the basket o' plenty, which had pop-tarts, peanuts, cranberry juice, bananas, Cate's cranberry-raspberry juice, and her trail mix. So it served to keep us fed and hydrated. It was a good thing that Cate and I were there, though since Oeric's herald got there late. :( So we got roped into being part of his entourage. Minions are a good thing. :) Cate got to use her 'nervous voice' which equaled 'loud, enunciated, and well-paced.' I got to hold up the Delftwood banner. :) Oeric swore fealty, we got to go sit down.
There were merchants there. I was being good and was going to hold out and not buy anything. Until...
Yes, I now have a leather circlet that has two cats facing each other embossed in it! Weeeeeeeeeee! They're either faded Figaros or Anit-Orpheii. Either way, I love it and it's mine! Mine! Mine! mine! mine! mine! mine! mine!
mine!
After the second court, Cate and I left. We got back on the road, and stopped in Rochester for dinner. We ended up in a mall just off the thruway/490 way out in Victor. Eastview Mall. See, Rochester Education has other benefits! We managed to blindly miss a Friendley's restaurant, and had dinner at Jack Astors. I love Jack Astors. You can draw on the tables, and draw we did. :)
Fed Angus as well, and we got along home. Kate had left some food in my basket o' plenty and I was going to bring it to her today, but then I saw some medicine, so I turned around and brought it back to her.
Sunday
Went Grocery Shopping. Ooh! "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" on pre-viewed sale! Woo Hoo! Bought it.
Stopped at Media Play to spend my gift certificates. No "Wicked" (the book) poo. Bought "Hidalgo" soundtrack instead.
Stopped at Walden Books. Bought "Wicked" wee!
Got home, had lunch. Parents came over to unload more junk from my garage. Kim and Jack (ooh, fat puppy) wandered over as well. They got the tour. Orpheus and Figaro weren't happy that Jack got a tour. My brave little boys. They were all 'must chase dog from property!'
So it thunderstormed, and I gave Kim and Jack a ride back to their house since it was still raining.
Got back home and decided that being a slug was good. Started to read "Wicked." Stayed up too late doing so, but hey... it's a good book.
Timelessness
I think I want to rearrange my house. I'm dissatisfied. Then again, it could be the mas amounts of clutter. I'm just thinking I want my computer and my books in the same room, or at least combine things a little better. I want to paint my bedroom. I want to rearrange my living room. I want to paint my kitchen. Well, I want a whole new kitchen. I want a better use of space. I want a second set of speakers so I can put them on the 'b' set and listen to CD's in other rooms of the house. I need to make plans.
