Yet another busy weekend descended on my free time like a swarm of free-time-eating locusts. Friday night I went to drinks at the ridiculously expensive Motel, which was very nice apart from the price. Listening to the music they chose to play, it was somewhat eerie to notice how much of it I own - The Andrews Sisters singing Bei Mir Bist du Schoen and Grooving For Mr G, for example. I met a number of new people, and caught up with someone the old university BBS crew will remember as Topcat. I didn't leave until 2-3am, which was something of a mistake, since the next morning I was planning to drive to Palmeston North...
Saturday morning, off to the parents to swap vehicles, and then zooming up to Palmie to see my brother and his wife, and pick up the awesome shelves, which simply slotted into place when I got back to Wellington. I also got a number of plants and cuttings... which I've just realised I really, really have to water/plant tonight. I had lunch up there, and then motored on back home (via Foxton to buy some Foxton Fizz) in time to watch Pom Poko and Kiki's Delivery Service and eat Malaysian with Jenni & Lee.
Sunday, off to deliver stuff to the parents, then out to Newlands for the Gif/Muggle/Sas housewarming, and back again for Dad's birthday, from which I'm still a little full, despite having no lunch. (I did have a bagel, though, so that probably explains it.)
So... I guess tonight is dedicated to game prep, and tomorrow is running the game... and then I think I'm free... until Friday, anyway.
I was wondering why I hadn't done very much overtime recently... I think I may have spotted the answer. :)

I believe that the disco elevator has been doing the rounds for a little while now, but I figure there might be someone who hasn't been exposed, so... (Flash with sound, but SFW.)

While I remember, I've got a couple of reader requests. Firstly, I've been asked for a (humourous) song concerning a Simon. Any suggestions? The best I've been able to come up with is Jimi Hendrix playing "Simon Says" with a crowd, which is hardly on a par with the best of Flanders & Swann or They Might Be Giants. It's a pity that they're not looking for something about a Trevor, or better yet, a Kenya.
The second thing is - does anyone have FileMaker experience, and want a bit of work? It's not here at Weta, but it might be interesting, and is certainly with cool people... unfortunately, I can't help them, since any spare work-time I have should really be spent at my current work.
