A lovely weekend.
As they are wont to, deadlines loomed, so I found me at work late Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings, and Sunday evening. But in between all that, I managed to squeeze in a little fun time. Saturday night, Amy and Erik invited me over for dinner and a movie. Coincidentally I was just in their area few hours earlier, but they weren’t home. It’s a 35-minute drive up, so it’s no small distance away. But Amy knew the words I wanted to hear. Mmmm, Thai. 🙂 I brought along Igby Goes Down, which I enjoyed a third time through (I haven’t seen it, but I am told it shares traits with Catcher in the Rye.) The characters in this film are fantastic, the acting superb. But the subject matter is a little dark, so it’s not the kind of film you can watch again in a short time frame. But still, very good.
Tune of the day, some hawt progressive house, off Global Underground 025, Deep Dish Toronto, available in fine record stores everywhere: Elisa – Time (Planet Funk Mix) [9.6mb, 192 kbps mp3, 6:59]. (Get it while the link is still up!). Crank this one, it sounds mmm-yum loud.
Kai had Cam, Melissa, Kemp, Jeff and myself over for dinner tonight! She made us sushi, talk about getting spoiled! It was awesome. It was Kemp’s first time having wasabi, first time having sushi in fact. And I discovered I like smoked salmon! Or maybe I should say rediscovered. At family reunions, Mom loves telling how I used to like it when I was two. Ha! Scallops aren’t bad either. 🙂 Afterwards, we had soup, french bread, tea, and for dessert, Kemp brought along some key-lime pie to inject a little Florida culture. An excellent meal, Kai, thank-you so much!
Oh yeah — took a few pics too — enjoy!

On a very sad note, Carlie Brucia, who went missing earlier this week, was found early this morning.
The headline for today’s paper, which I didn’t see until after getting home from work, was morbidly out of date. “Pray for Carlie’s Return”. I guess they didn’t find out until after press time.
When I was at Movie Gallery last night, there were yellow photocopied signs up on both doors asking patrons to call the police if they knew of any information relating to the case. At work today, it was the first thing out of everyone’s mouth. 🙁
On a lighter note, a bottle of Guinness broke in my trunk last night, so now my whole car reeks of beer. Hey, if you’re gonna reek, reek with class!

Sorry if you tried to reach krishenblog yesterday and couldn’t. My BSP had an Internet outage. 🙂
What have I been up to? Working too much. I’m at work now. Was here last night until 11pm. Didn’t sleep well. I’m putting my foot down today and working 8 hours. That’s the only way I’m going to get to the laundry and dishes. I am out of clothes.
I was going to come in early this morning, maybe skip breakfast. There’s so much to do. But I decided against it. If there’s anything mom taught me growing up, it’s that there is no higher importance than the sanctity of one’s body. Feed it. It will love you for it. And it is. Thanks mom.
