Haven't done that in years...

gridloreLast night Kirsten went out to karaoke to meet up with a whole cast of characters. I begged off, knowing that I was tired and would soon turn cranky and antisocial.
Went to bed around 1000, only to have a ring side seat to our downstairs neighbors engaging in a spirited discussion of their mutual failings as humans, with digressions into the moral and genetic failings of their respective family lines. The debate was punctuated by the gentle "thud" of thrown objects, included couches and an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. Amusingly, most of this exchange was in English. The "lady" of the house refuses to speak English when I complain about the noise.
This of course woke up the DD kid downstairs, and the 3 boys who live next door to me. I was left lying in bed really, really wanting a shotgun.. or the ability to call in an airstrike. I called Kirsten a couple of times (she had put her phone into her purse and couldn't hear it) to suggest that we go out for an early breakfast, since I was craving French Toast.
She got home, and we went to Denny's. Damn it's good to have an appetite again. The eggs were perfect, the bacon just the way I like it (not overly crispy) and the sausage was okay. They managed to do a poor job on the French Toast though. Had I been able to, I would have gone through five glasses of milk. Just what I needed. We managed to have a nice chat before the Drunken Moron Frat Boys came in. I swear, if people could see films of themselves toasted, they'd give up drinking the next day. We finished up, and came home, where I was finally able to get to sleep.
I'm not a night owl, but that was a fun little break in our schedule.
Had my doctor's appointment yesterday. Everything looks good. Did another blood draw, and if that is equally positive I can go back to work! I made an appointment to have a mole removed from my back and need to find out where the vision center is because I need new glasses. Got to spend some more quality time with my mom, hearing more stories of Kylie the Wonder Kid. She's taking after her Unk Douglas.. she loves spicy foods.
Finished up Pushing Ice. Very good book. Manages to be both Hard SF and reasonable Space Opera at the same time. Like all good stories, it is about the people with the setting and technology supporting the plot. In the end, this was a novel about trust. Very good, I give it 4 Penguins.
Today, I'm resting. Still feel a bit worn from the con, and the temptation to do everything since I have energy again has tripped me up. I may watch either Titanic or Blazing Saddles later (or maybe The Matrix... can you tell I'm in a real decisive mood?) and collect a couple of loads of laundry. Grabbing a nap is on the schedule.
The Giants traded Benitez! There was much rejoicing.
