The Weekend

Quiet weekend around here; busy during the days with relatively chill evenings. Finally checked out the nearby Japanese food-ya-san Geido around here Friday, and scored some excellent Gyoza, Udon, and decent mentaiko (cod roe) maki rolls. Saturday, I discovered a nearby community garden that was having a cool plant sale and offers grow boxes where you can grow whatever you want - within legal bounds of course - so as long as you pay the annual dues and do some volunteer work there. Too bad it's already past the prime planting season for veggies! Still considering this anyway as our sandbox project. Afternoon involved a mission to a craft show that allowed for exploration of some parts of Prospect Park I had never been to - had a blast doing that - and trying to find Reiko a bike. Made an evening out of checking out the SNES Zelda hacked rom Parallel Worlds, a bit of Xenogears, and finishing the 007 flick Quantum of Solace. Today we made it up to visit our Greenpoint friends Joe and Kate and went out for some excellent Bahn Mi sandwiches, and then a trek down to Ikea for apartment ideas and reception decor. No crazy nights, just busy days with bike trips, listening to some good music (thank you Adam W for that Brazilian piece - wtf!) drinking while playing video games at home, part time jobbin', and simply relaxing and enjoying life.

Then of course, I saw this clip from the ever classic (or was it?) Palmerfest in Athens, OH, which went down this past Saturday. Man, my weekends have changed! Let's take a minute to reflect on those couches.



Yep, they're toast, as well just about everyone else there. Meanwhile, I was busy saving the world in Xenogears, and that was just fine as well.
