Weekend was lovely. Friday night we just chilled and watched a dvd. Saturday, slept in til 11:30! (I used to sleep until noon or one in NYC, but I was also 26!)

However, I have now come to an important realisation in my realtionship with J. Namely, that if I want to spend a whole day doing *nothing*, I’ll have to do it without him.

The boy is incapable of doing nothing. He woke up at 8:00 to run and put the parking permit on the car. I had to practically drag him back to bed. When we woke up again, he had to run out and return the tent we had borrowed. Came back and had to do the washing up while I was making banana bread muffins for breakfast. He was itching to wash the car, but I forbade it. Then got him to sit and play a video game for about an hour while I was tinkering on the computer. But then he had to jump up and go return the dvd. Got back and he was anxious about when we were going to the bbq our flatmate was having at her boyfriends. Finally, I capitulated.

The *only* thing we had to do was return the dvd, everything else was completely optional. And he just could not sit still. Ah well. We went to the bbq (a huge spit braai, with two whole lambs on spits in the garden)and stuffed ourselves silly and had a few too many beers. Got home and I had a bad headache so I went to bed, but he went next door where the neighbours were having some drinks with our climbing friends.

Needless to say, no climbing Sunday. No one was really motivated being a) hungover and b) not wanting to be indoors. So we had a nice fruit salad and bloody mary breakfast in the sun, then went down to Tooting Bec where our friends were playing frisbee, and went back to their house for a bbq lunch. Got home in time to see France kick Englands ass in the footie match. (J hates the English team, and I have to agree that the Brits have been pretty insufferable about the whole thing…)

From the quasi-real world:

The Brits complain they don’t get enough holiday time and they’re sorely overworked. Meanwhile, the Japanese just put up and shut up.

dunno how much I believe in the future of nanotechnology, but here’s a cool article about it

hmmm, parallels between kerry and bush srs. foreign policy?

just for shits and giggles – pussy scott stapp (of suck-ass neo-christian group “creed”) wants strip clubs to stop playing his songs. but of course.

that’s all for now, folks.
