So this weekend in addition to being on a Sarah Slean concert high I was also productive.

I wrapped up all of my Christmas presents. Mailed the Passioneer Holiday Project goodies from the prize draw and mailed Ava and Julie's tshirts. Woke up early on Saturday and Sunday morning to watch The Magician's House (seriously part two Sunday at 7am, not the most fun ever!) Uploaded the photos of the card and did a little photoshop editing on the side for some friends and sent off some emails that needed sending.

Phew. I took a nap today and am still exausted! I'm glad it's just one day of work and then 2 more days of holiday even if they're busy days. There will still be a good amount of downtime for some relaxation :) I do have to remember to pack my Buffy and Xfiles Christmas specials so I can watch them tomorrow night :)

I hope everyone who celebrated it had a fantastic Thanksgiving weekend this past weekend! I ended up at 3 Thanksgiving meals and had a trip to the Zoo and a random Silver Snail shopping trip so it was a mighty fine weekend for me.

The zoo was fun, there will be pictures posted in my Facebook soon, hopefully tonight, I resized them all last night. We timed ourselves to be around for the orangutang keeper's talk which was neat. I took plenty of pictures of them. We walked around most of the Zoo excepting the Canadian exhibits (because the zoo closed early and the Canadian exhibits are so out of the way!) and I got to see the dinosaur exhibit before it closed. We had a bit of rain but managed to be inside for the first shower.... got slightly drenched the next rain shower but it got sunny and warm right after so we were alright.

When I got home after the zoo my roommates invited me to their Thanksgiving dinner and so I joined them for that. Miguel is a fantastic cook and he made some great dishes :)

Sunday I made a stop at Silver Snail and got the latest Buffy comic as well as the latest (and I think last) issue of Spike Shadow Puppets (very cute, I want the first 3!) and they had the Angel Script Book. v.2 on sale so I picked up a copy of that as well :) Then I went to Thanksgiving dinner feeling very thankful ;)

Monday I went to Tanya's family's Thanksgiving. I got to see her and Zoey on Sunday but it was nice to have a bit longer to see both of them since I so rarely do. It was a lovely meal :)

That was my weekend in a nutshell. It was nice, busy but nice. I got to see family and friends and have some good meals. I have to now work on planning when I'm getting my teacher's college applications filled out (since those have to get done in the next month or so generally,) find out when my tutoring starts, go to another wedding soon, and hopefully attend the Browncoat haunted house shindig this week! BUSY!

Another weekend gone already! I was hardly home at all! I spent much of Saturday on the TTC... my bus to the station was late, my subway change took forever at Museum (although I'm still enjoying going through lower Bay station!) and so I missed my Go bus to Hamilton. Oops. Fortunately Leigh wasn't in a hurry for lunch so I just took the next bus and in the meantime did a bit of shopping and found a copy of O.R. Mellings 'Book of Dreams' which I am eager to read :)

Hamilton was fun. I've not seen Leigh in so long and soon she'll be a Mom, so exciting! I bought her baby his first baby book (The Velveteen Rabbit) yes I am so going to be the book aunt ;) We had a lovely lunch at My Thai, their veggie fried rice was fantastic! And I even braved what I think might have been squid on the appetizer plate and as I don't do seafood very often that's a big thing for me :) Much chatting on about everything. I'll have to try to make it back out there before she has her baby :)

Then we rushed back to the Go station in Hamilton and I just barely caught my bus home (I think I made it with 2 minutes to spare, not at all like me LOL) and then spent Saturday night watching Buffy: 'Welcome to the Hellmouth' and 'The Harvest' in the spirit of the 10 year anniversary :) I am amused that I can still quote almost line for line with the show :)

Today I thought I was awake early but had forgotten the time change (if you've not yet "sprung forward" be sure to do that tonight, no being late for work!) so I was actually up just in time to call Jo and head out to her place. I was late again because the subway change took forever. About 6 trains that weren't mine went by before mine came. But I was reading Accursed, the first of the Ghosts of Albion novels and because of the delay I was able to finish it up and so Jo lent me the second one, which I've already started and am quite throughly enjoying :) We went out for lunch... which was actually at dinnertime... at Ginger 2 on Yonge and it was quite tasty and had great prices with huge portions. I must remember that place.

Bedtime soon, even with the time change I feel like it's late and it's actually crazy early. I think it's because I know work may be a battle tomorrow and I'll need lots of rest.

Oh and Eliza Dusku fans on the flist, she just landed a new pilot... on Fox. Cross your fingers that it gets made and then not cancelled. Info is here: on Whedonesque.

The weekend is almost over *sigh* but it went well. Today I slept in a surprising amount (after I woke up early and posted on LJ I went back to sleep until 1, fabulous!) my roommate was actually getting a little worried about me LOL. We did get grocery shopping done, I watched a little Farscape (not as much as planned due to sleeping.) Then we had dinner and watched Cold Case which was an amazing episode tonight and so sad. Very well done. Also Grease: You're The One That I Want because it's so camp! I love it! Now it's almost time for bed for me. I'm looking forward to another good sleep :)

Oh randomly, Win A Date With Tad Hamilton was on tv today, so cute! I caught the end of it even though I own it and that movie was so underrated. I think it's adorable! The Little Mermaid was on TV as well, and Nomi and I saw the end of it as well and then they ran a classic Disney cartoon afterwards (The Taylor and the Giant) which was fun! I didn't realize they still ran the classics like that. I'll have to tune in to the end of things more often ;)

Alas the weekend has departed quickly yet again. I was house/dog sitting for my parents which meant that I had a pretty quiet weekend. My brother got a new computer (Mac laptop... iBook?) which is pretty sweet. I'm not really a fan of Mac computers but I did enjoy the little remote control for while I was curled up on the couch :)

As I've been getting more and more addicted to Farscape I decided a Vortex trip was in order for today so my brother and I went out and visted HMV, BMV and Vortex (the usual at that end of town) and did quite well. I bought a nice bunch of books and both Shaye CDs (one was given to me for free - tres awesome!) I found the last two seasons of Gilmore Girls for Nomi which she has been searching for since she moved to TO :) For myself I finally got a copy of The Corpse Bride and Ginger Snaps 2 (so now I can watch the third one I've had for months now lol) and also Pitch Black because Claudia Black is in it and I've been told the movie isn't bad. Oh and I bought the last third of season 1 of Farscape and the Peace Keeper Wars (which I will not watch before I'm done the series it was just not too expensive so I went for it.) My Farscape DVDs are set up differently than the ones I've been borrowing. There are 4 seperate discs instead of two double sided discs. It's all the same to me though :)

I also lucked out and not only was I able to borrow the last third of season 2 from Tom today I also got a ride home from him so I didn't have to fuss with getting my bag with freshly cleaned laundry (perk of housesitting - free laundry) and new books and DVDs on and off of the streetcar :) So much nicer to do it that way.

Next week shall be more housesitting, with working autoshow and I get to see Dell for brunch *yay*

Now time to get ready for bed and then regular work tomorrow :)

It has been a blissfully relaxing weekend, just what I needed :)

I slept in on Saturday and then went over to Jo's house where we spent much of the day chatting and she hemmed my pants (THANK YOU!) and we watched Eurotrip (because I hadn't seen it... note to self Michelle Trachtenburg acting any older than 12 years old squiks me out... she's freaking Harriet the Spy... or Buffy's little sister, not some topless chick in Europe... however apparently she and the LoHo are fighting so I have to support that ;) ) and had a fabulous sushi dinner. By the time we were done I thought it was around 7 o clock, in reality it was 10:30, oops.

Then today the only thing I had to do was grocery shopping. I also have managed to deposit a couple of cheques *yay* and picked up 3 DVDs at Blockbuster with my giftcards (thank you Viv and work.) I bought:

Slither - which I've been waiting and waiting and waiting to buy but it kept being $28.99 in stores and while I thought it was absolutely hilarious I'm not about to pay more than $30 for a movie. So I'm very glad I was able to buy that one :)

RENT - I KNOW how many of you are shocked that I didn't have this one yet? Honestly after seeing the show SO many times I wasn't in a huge rush to own the movie, I knew it would always be there so it kept getting pushed back so I could buy other movies.

Akeelah and the Bee - one of the cutest movies ever. I saw this one in theatres (actually I've seen all 3 of these movies in theatres, neat) I just think this movie is so sweet and also it's quite a good film. A lot of family movies tend to be complete dribble that I'm not interested in. This one was well constructed and a joy to watch :)

And that's my day. Tonight I want to keep working on my Buffy icon series (season 3 now) and also to try to be asleep at a reasonable hour (how old and boring do I sound? LOL)
elizalavelle: (Nightmare Before Christmas)
Lovely weekend again this week :) I went to my parents house to sort of be around for the dog while my parent's were out of town. It turned out that my brother was around more than I was for once lol.

Friday night I went over to Viv's house, and it's been forever since I'd been there! Silly living accross town now. We ate far too much Hallowe'en candy, and she gave me her Lemonheads (I love that candy!) We watched Siblings which was another one of my random movie purchases and it turned out to be far better than anticipated :)

Saturday my brother took me out for lunch to celebrate my picture being used for the Orphan Music album :) We had great sushi at this little place in the Beaches. Then in the evening I met up with Tom and Jo to see the 3D Nightmare Before Christmas. Somehow Jo and I managed to lose the Yorkdale mall... we left the subway station and were in the middle of nowhere, seriously. Ask how we managed that and I have no idea, but in the end we managed to find the mall after wandering around a fair bit and we found Tom quite easily after that and were off to the movies. The 3D was so much fun!

And then today I just relaxed, did a little Value Village shopping and found a few new things for work which were sorely needed :) I got home a wee bit late (due to waiting for my copy of season 3 of The 4400, so that's worth it :) ) but had a very tasty supper and was glad to see that both of my fish have lived through the weekend, no one got eaten ;)

And now time for unpacking soon, and getting ready for work tomorrow :)
