last few days in brief

Wednesday I went to the library research session for the class (deadline on outline supposedly that day, we got emailed that we could turn it in by the end of the week, and he expected us to all take advantage of that to the stage where he didn't come to the session to collect paper outlines).

Thursday I had a dentist appointment on the island I grew up on; I headed off the pecking about unhappy gums by stating that I wasn't flossing at all, because it hurt to try. Which is technically true, but mostly I'd continually fished the need to in the weeks previous to the appointment. >.>
Thursday evening we collected youraugustine from the ferry dock (muwahahaha!), for lo, despite the fact that the veggie and I are headed to Victoria this coming weekend, Great Big Sea was in town this last one. :D

sarahdarkes and coastal_physics got in Friday lunchtime, and we let poor Zach collapse for his first four hours of sleep in the last thirty-six.

Before we headed off to the concert that evening I emailed my professor the scaled-back outline he'd described in his response-email to a question about what he actually wanted. (I spent half the weekend ranting about this class, I don't need to share again, thanks. =P Suffice to say I'm good until the rough draft of the long paper is due early next week.)

Then we went to see Great Big Sea in a smallish town in the area. The gent introducing the theater and show asked for a show of hands for people familiar with the theater but not the band. Then he asked for people familiar with the band but not the theater and got a much larger roar of approval and applause.

Then the band wandered on stage. :D

As always, they give fantastic live show (though they appear to be on the last legs of their Fortune's Favour tour and from row C they looked pretty tired), this time including a medley of audience participation part-singing just before intermission.

My cultural rock showed with that one--I only knew the songs on something like two of the medley.

Saturday morning we did a brief pillage of the farmer's market (mmm, bacon) and then wandered off to do bra fittings for sarahdarkes and youraugustine*.

Zach did Things to mussels that night (and lo, it was tasty).

Sunday morning all the guests left for their respective homes, and I went back to sleep on the couch.


Hey, winter_x_, you're welcome. ^,..,^
