Everyone loves April 15

[dr4b]

A few things first:

1) Do any of you have my Modern Bridge Conventions book, by Root and Pavlicek? I only remember that I lent it to someone who was over here once, and cannot for the life of me remember who.

2) Joy and Ezzie and their Cats - adventures with duct tape and such.

Ok, what happened today... I hung out at home and cleaned stuff. I skipped KGB because it was really nice out and a whole bunch of grad student people (colohan, mahim, eli, bhudson, pfr, norm, and kvdpsu) were going to Dave and Andy's for ice cream and I knew KGB would be hectic and I would duck out early for Kiltie anyway. I did run into naufiel on the way and give her money for a Carnival shirt though. Maybe tomorrow I can even stop by and see the booth and help, if boothing happens during the day. Ice cream was quite good, I got blueberry swirl and cookies'n'cream. Then I went to Kiltie. Kiltie was ok, except that I am REALLY REALLY miffed that we aren't going to be playing Music for a Celebration or American Fanfare in the concert. Those are like, two of my favorite pieces and I'm really sad I didn't get them on tape at some point. Which reminds me, I need to find someone to hold a tape recorder for me in the audience of the Kiltie concert - any takers?

After Kiltie Carl and I went to Squill. Sobajima-san showed up this time, and I was helpful in the english half of things but utterly useless in the Japanese half of things, which was frustrating. Oh well. After that we went to B&N and I bought copies of the Hobbit and Fellowship to match the copies of Two Towers and Return that Eli's dad got me for Christmas, and I also bought Root's "How to Defend a Bridge Hand" book. I had a $10 gift certificate to waste, see. We ran into Eugene and his mom there, which was sort of weird. Anyway, we went to Geagle after B&N, and then I came home, and spent the evening scanning and trading pictures. Yippee.

aw dammit! i hate reading bboards and finding out about stuff I can't go to, like the rep chorus concert tomorrow and the student film festival wednesday. well technically i could duck out on something or just go to the midnight showing of the film festival. BUT STILL. and why haven't you all invited me to cool carnival parties yet? i still don't know what i'm doing saturday night! (and no, I have never been invited to the Ann and Don party, for those who always wonder why they don't see me there) I guess I'll just wing it after the KGB party or something.

While we're at it, a moment of "whee" for April 15... for the birthdays of many of my friends (shoebox_bird, cheerfulchaotic, Sumner, and mh75's Josh, and Eli's sister-in-law Brooke, and...), and in honor of the day the Titanic sunk, the day Lincoln died, and Tax day, of course...

Those are some really great pictures, Deanna! :) At least two of the us+cats pictures came out well enough for a "family" portrait, which is fantastic. Plus the zoomed in picture of Obsidian is really good, one of the best ones I've seen of him. I'll have to save those when I get home from work.

For those of you who don't know, Obsidian is the fluffy one which I'm holding, and Onyx is the skinny shiny one which Chris is holding. Obsidian's a boy and Onyx is his sister. :)

1) You lent it to me.

yay! ok. i don't particularly need it back, but I was just really confused that I could not remember at all who I lent it to and nobody seemed to know.

Don't be sad, most people tend to hear about Don/Karen/Ann's party and then show up because they know so many people there. At one point I asked Don if I could come, and he shrugged in that way he has and said, "Sure" - which was enough for me :)
