I'm staying busy, wheee. I'll be glad to make it to the end of August; all of my publication work will be finished, I'll go on vacation, and I can start fresh when I come back after Labor Day. 22 more days!

I wasn't planning on doing anything Friday night, but Terri asked me if I wanted to join her and Demetrius for dinner at Kabuki. I had already eaten, but I'd rather go and hang out with them that sit at home alone, and I had never been there before. So we had dinner, and then Terri really wanted to play Apples to Apples, so we went back to my apartment and did that. I think they were there till about midnight; it was lots of fun.

Saturday, of course, I slept in... I had a work thing to go to in the afternoon. They were dedicating the newly-renovated art gallery. I didn't notice a whole lot of changes, but I believe Mark said that they weren't completely finished yet, sooo... we'll see. They painted the outside (which I hate, because they painted the brick foundation, and I hate it when people paint brick, but whatever), fixed the roof (yay), re-carpeted the walls (I think), and replaced the light fixtures. They also said they replaced the air conditioner, in which case, they got robbed. The heat index was at least 100 outside (at 3:00 in the afternoon, not surprising) and it was COOLER outside that inside. Granted, it's a small space and there were about 50 people in it, but still. It was ridiculous. I'm glad so many people came, though.

I was out of there by 3:45 and had plans to meet Terri and Demetrius again to see Hairspray, but Melanie called and asked me to go with her to a work reception at ASF because everyone else had backed out. And she was having a bad day, so I said yes. I finally got to wear one of my new dresses, yay! The reception was only an hour, followed by a performance of Fair and Tender Ladies. We weren't that into it. We left at intermission and went to play pool at the new place where Bumpers used to be. It was pretty nice; cleaned up on the inside, new tables and cues, and best of all, NO SMOKING. It has to be done outside. I was so excited.

And on Sunday, I went and saw The Bourne Ultimatum with Jason. The movie was awesome, and then we ended up sitting around chatting and catching up for another two hours afterwards. Fun times.

So now it's Monday and back to work... I have a lot of photos to review and pubs to work on. Blaaah.
