Okay, so planning to sleep in wasn't the best of ideas, considering A)we had our usual handful of late-night revelry outside our window and B)Bay Street suddenly became The Strip, with loud traffic going by at least until 1AM. (Oh, and C)Apparently Bay and Stockton were test strips for motorcycles sans mufflers.) On the other hand, we did go to bed insanely early due to exhaustion, so it kind of evened out. I woke up a little before 7am and scanned the internets and watched the morning news until ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
emmalyon woke up and demanded coffee STAT. ;)
So now? It's just a bit after 10am and we've already showered, dressed, and done our weekend food shopping! Now what...? We might do lunch a bit later, perhaps at Tiernan's, and stop at the book store on the way back, perhaps head up to the local library as well. Because we're both book nerds. :p
Speaking of which--I'm one chapter away from finishing reading Endgame 1945. It's a very interesting nonfic, in that it's the days after WWII from just before VE day up to the Potsdam Conference, as seen by at least a dozen or so people. A good selection for someone interested in that chapter of history. Not sure what I'll read next...part of me wants to read something lighter, part of me wants to jump in on another history book. We'll see.
Also--my commute reading is Le Morte d'Arthur, something I've been meaning to read for years. Fun read, but I feel that the characters' passion for jousting borders on pathological. Honor besmirched? JOUST! A fair maiden kidnapped? JOUST! Somebody burped in the front ranks? JOUST! At least it turned into an actual war when they smited the Evil Roman Emperor. ;)
Other than that, nothing big planned for the weekend...although next weekend we have the NoCal Cherry Blossom Festival. We're really looking forward to the parade again (you remember we came upon it a few years ago quite by accident and enjoyed it). And the Grand Marshal for this year's parade? George Takei! w0000t!
My only other thing for the weekend, of course, is writing. But I'll go on about that in a post at my writing LJ. ;) We should probably head outside, too, as it's BEEEEYOOTIFUL out there at the moment. Nary a cloud in the sky, even if it is a cool mid-50s. :p
