I'll be seeing Bo Burnham live in Chicago on Friday. I'm really hoping my husband can come along with me though, since I'll be driving back home (3 1/2 hours) after the gig and me and staying awake at 3am isn't really likely.
Husband still hasn't been able to get into the fields to start planting, due to all the rain. This sucks because apparently the later they plant, the lower the yields, which means a lower income for the year. Blah. Go away rain, yeah? Just for a few weeks. Then come back over the summer. Kthnx.
Reading... I'm currently sucked into a girlie-sci-fi series that Felicia Day
recommended (via Twitter and via Goodreads... how cool is THAT now?) Right now I'm only on the first one, Gabriel's Ghost by Linnea Sinclair. And loving it. I think I needed some fluff to read since I'm
also (still) working my way through Trick or Treatment by Singh and Ernst. Why does it take so long for me to read nonfiction? And does everyone encounter this problem?
Anyway, they're good books. Especially the Trick or Treatment - I think it's something that everyoen should read, since it's so hard these days to discern "real" medicine from the quakery.
What else? Still planning my fun-exciting trip to England this autumn. At some point I'll blog in detail about all the places I'll be going and the people I'll be seeing. It'll be a long, grand adventure, and I can't wait!
And finally, since no blog post of mine can be without a little bit of Tim Minchin, enjoy this nice audience-vid of Tim performing Bears Don't Dig On Dancing at the Melbourne Comedy Festival.
The pain of Monday is tempered by the knowledge that I only have to be here through Wednesday... after that, The Husband and I will be off to the Wisconsin Dells to spend 4 days in a cabin with some friends. These annual trips are known as "Woodhaven" ; this particular group of friends all met in high school, when during the summer they would all take a camping trip together. Now that we're all older (and can afford better accommodations) it has evolved from "camping" into a more comfortable sort of "retreat".
I personally have only been part of this group since I've known The Husband - so just a bit over 5 years. Long enough to have gotten to know them and to be comfortable spending that much time in their presence. In the beginning it was hard; being the new person in a group of people who have known each other for practically all of their lives isn't the easiest position in the world to be in. But they're all friendly and welcoming, and now I look forward to seeing them again and catching up.
