Checking the Checklist

So, I was bragging about all the cool stuff I was planning to do last week, and then didn't do half of it.

Square dancing didn't work out.  The girl I was supposed to meet there backed out, and I got too shy to go square-dancing by myself.  But it's okay...they have it once a month, which will give me time to find that puffy underskirt stuff for maximized twirling.

The Riverboat Gamblers didn't work out.  My other friends backed out on me there too, and I was going to go by myself...but started watching "Damien: Omen II" and then fell asleep on the sofa.

I did manage to accomplish the following:

• watch about 8 consecutive episodes of "How It's Made"
• went out to Kandice's for a personal BBQ
• saw Superbad
• got a Seattle library card
  and...
• got Washington license plates for my car, meaning I'm pretty official now

Now for this week:

• first tennis lesson tomorrow
• the Puyallup Fair, which looks like it will be a more than adequate replacement for the Texas State Fair.  Let me put it this way: Devo is playing Friday night!?  (Apparently the fair has a dedicated theme song, available at the official fair website in both the regular AND gospel versions.)
