[Weekend] Updatery n' Stuff

Got back a little while ago from a tasty brunch at Pat's Cafe on Taylor (a few blocks from us)...surprisingly the place was hopping when we got there a little after 9:30! Which is a good thing, since it's a really good restaurant. :) I talked to the waiter on the way out and noted this, and he said it's been consistently busy for the last few weeks, so he (and Pat herself, who handed us the menus in the first place) is quite happy about it.

Not much going on today...we're being lazy. Laundry is started, I'm planning on typing out some of my Eden Cycle notes I'd made during Worldcon, post some more TPoM chapters, and perhaps I'll post some vacation pix too, but other than that, it's going to be a lazy Sunday afternoon.

It's been pretty much the same this entire weekend...we decided after two weeks of driving everywhere, taking a weekend off doing nothing sounded like a good idea. The most we did yesterday was pick up some books at the library that were on wait for Emm (and where I dropped off more books to donate). And of course there was FOOTBALL! :)

Which reminds me...I need to play around with the internets soon to see what college stations are streaming that I can listen to. I know WAMH does now and again, but not often...and I know KUSF here in town is always up too. Yes, it's getting close to autumn, my favorite time of the year, and I should start making plans again. :)

Coming up in the near future:

Next weekend, California State Fair up in Sacramento! Which means nasty-yet-tasty fried goodness! :D

And the weekend after that, the King Tut exhibit at the De Young here in town. You do know, of course, that when I heard it was coming, my first thought was "Well, when I was a young boy, I never thought I'd see people stand in line to see the Boy King..." ;)

[Weekend] Sunday Grooves

Yeah, I know, I'm posting enough today that I should just be done with it and Twitter/Facebook it instead. :p

But still...listening to Radio Alice online, specifically their "Chill" substation, and really enjoying it. Very mellow, very relaxing, especially now that Emm just made me some coffee with the press. They just played Air's "All I Need", and previously played Dubstar and Dead Can Dance. Very interesting switch from the stuff we were listening to on Classic Live 105 (love the station, but unfortunately they only play the same damn songs all the time).


On a side note, given our ADD with TV and radio lately, we may contemplate doing Sirius' Internet Radio for $12.95 a month. Not a bad deal, really, and we can just play it using Windows Media Player. Would be well worth it, come to think of it...given that I love listening to radio but don't have a decent working radio at my desk at the moment...and also given that every car we've rented on our trips had it and we found all our favorite new stuff on it...more on this later!

[Writing] Word Count...??

1441 words typed out from the notes made on 8/8-9 while at Worldcon, with the barest of outlines for the next two phases of the Eden Cycle.

I may expand on these notes, but I'm not going to go too far with it until I'm further along with the posting of edencycle chapters and perhaps built up more of a satisfying ending to Book 3.

Speaking of which...more chapters soon! :)
