Weekend. And I have Gargoyles!
Apr. 6th, 2010 11:52 amIt's April, and there are cute mice playing in tulips in the rain on my calendar.
My weekends are too short!
I appointed Saturday as annoying task day, and accomplished the following:
Replaced the missing stoppers from the ends of the shower curtain rod in our bathroom with two rubber floor protectors that are meant to go under furniture feet. They were exactly the right size, worked beautifully, cost about a fourth of the price of a new curtain-rod, and since they come 4 to a box, we now have spares.
Got the lawnmower wheel repaired. I ran over one of the tires this winter and popped it off the plastic wheel housing. Oops! All that I needed was the right wrench to remove the wheel, but I didn't have one until Saturday. After that, it was a simple matter of taking both bits to the nice people at Fleetwood Mower & Rental. They very kindly returned the tire to its wheel for no charge, and it is now back in place on the mower. Hooray!
As a reward for my labors, we watched the first episode of the new Doctor Who in the afternoon. Which is quite awesome.
Sunday, aka Zombie Jesus Day, aka the day of he who has died and is risen (that would be the Doctor, thank you very much) was fun time:
Spent the early part of the afternoon at Gage Park (home of the train that became Steven King's "Blaine the Mono" in the Dark Tower) having an Easter picnic with my extended family. Well, more like showing up a bit after the time we had planned on, and waiting for the rest of the family to arrive. But they all got there eventually, and there was eating and family visiting and other happy things.
We stayed at the park a bit too late, and had to race home to meet friends so we could share the awesomeness that is New Who with them before our evening gaming session. But we got home in plenty of time, and watched new Who again, (Yay!), played an excellent session of the game, and ate plenty of my tasty homemade chili. Mmmmm, chili.
Also, because![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gmskarka loves me, he picked up Gargoyles: The Complete First Season for me on DVD. Gargoyles, I has them! Begin fan-girl rant/You know, although I do have some nifty Gargoyle-themed merchandise - like pencils and a Goliath-shaped drinking cup, I was always bummed about the lack of themed stuff. The property was owned by Disney, fer fucks sake! Where was my box of Gargoyles valentines? Or a cake pan in the form of Goliath? Or a full stationary set? Hmmm? /end fan-girl rant. At leastnow I can watch them again. Yay!
