It was a very interesting labor day weekend. On Saturday I went down to Circle Center Mall for Lita's Geburtstag. It was interesting going to an actual birthday party again. It was like grade school all over again... well... never mind. It was MUCH better than grade school, but it had a certain grade school flavor to it. We ate pizza and cake and played video games for a couple of hours in the arcade.

After the B-Day party we returned home and played some texas hold 'em (poker). Lehmann had a curfew and Terry was unavoidably called away so Lita and I sat around and watched Futurama until the early hours of the morning.

Sunday was mostly a wash. I was exhausted from the late night on Saturday. In the evening I went over to John's and helped him clean and get his ex-room-mate (Clayton?) moved out. Once we finished cleaning we took our traditional walk around the neighborhood.

Saying that my grandparents arrived earlier than necessary to take me out to lunch on Monday is an understatement. They arrived before 10:00 and roused me from my slumber. They were kind enough to want to help me get the house into shape. Unfortunately they never mentioned anything about this to me so I did not schedule my day accordingly.

After the house work and lunch my grandparents departed and I began preparations for John's party. My attendance at the party was somewhat sketchy as I appeared and disappeared at least three times. Orion (pronounced Oh-rin) was there and it was good to see him again. Playing munchkin was also one of the funnier things I have done in a while.

During one of my absences from the party I went over to Lita's house and sampled her delicious stir-fry. She, Ally, Terry, and I also played a few hands of poker. I lost one USD.

Today was back to business as usual. Although everything seems weird because of the late start this week. I did a lot of housework this evening. I also figured out how to install and configure WindowMaker. I like it because it is very AfterStep-ish. I have promised myself that I will be ready for PUSH by this coming weekend.
