Weekend stuff!

[giza]

Last weekend unclekage and myself drove up to Hazleton to visit zenmouse for his birthday, along with idigull and errorist. Highlights of the weekend include:

- Staying up until late in the night chatting about random things
- Seeing the movie Goodfellas. I had never seen it before, and was quite disturbed by some of the portrayals of the mob scene. I must see it again!
- Playing some DDR for the first time in over a year. I was able to complete several 4-step songs without any problems from my foot. It was very pleasing.
- Getting to see some of the stripmines in the area and being awed at the size of the cranes and other equipment that is used.
- The scenic drive on the way up there and back.
- Getting a nice fist-sized lump of coal to bring back with me.

Upon getting home yesterday, I both managed to do lots of chores in my apartment AND move the rest of my Anthrocon-related stuff into a local installation of TWiki that I run. That will make it much easier for me to manage staff member info and other things related to the department. (The spreadsheets that I used before just didn't cut it.)

I also have memories of hooking up with randomzen sometime last week, but they are obscured by the Irish Ale that I had. :-)

unclekage has an LJ?!

Wow, with only a handful of posts, he's gotten stacks of replies.

Ah-well...back to your regularly scheduled blog.

If you want to get a funny reaction out of Kage, tell him that someone dressed like a hick with a huge gut and a rather icky disposition stopped by your house in a semi truck, and that you're bringing him over to visit, since he seemed soooo interested in seeing Kage. Then say it has something to do with Lofty-Bearing, and record his reaction on video tape.

Trust me. :)

You want a freaky mobster movie, try Casino. Shudder.

Out of curiosity, did you take the Stroudsberg exit (74) or the Pocono exit (95) from the NE Extention to get to Hazleton?

We took exit #74, then did state highways for about 15-20 miles. We finally ended up on PA-93, I think. It's a state highway that leads straight into Hazleton.
