If weekends were nutrition, I'd be the healthiest girl in the world

Well, this weekend has followed up my weekend in NY quite nicely, I must say. Thursday was great, but ended badly (with one slightly bent and broken Ford Explorer…), but it was straight uphill from there!

Friday started off with, basically, re-familiarizing myself with AutoCAD, but moved on to pleasant pastures. Garth & I sort of co-hosted a game night at his house (the official title was “ZOMBIE OUTBURST!!!!” because we played ‘Outburst’ and then watched ‘Wild Zero’… a wonderful, silly movie about zombies and starring the famed Japanese band ‘Guitar Wolf’. And to preface the evening, I cooked up a bunch of Japanese food for everyone to eat. As my beloved cohorts on that island would say: DERICIOUS!!(below - beef + ginger + sesame + mystery ingredients = gyoza from scratch!)

Garth and I had declared (for the last week or two) that this Saturday was going to be “the day ‘o nothing”, during which we would do, yes, you guessed it, NOTHING. It was great. Uber relaxing. In the end we actually *did* do things – Breakfast with Rob at Table Talk, and then he came back with us to take a look at my car (he’s building a Porsche from old parts, so he’s something of a body expert). After that I did more AutoCAD while Garth did taxes (bah! we had to do work! ;), and THEN, we just sort of sat around doing nothing much. It was perfect 

But today topped off everything, like the sweetest icing on a cake. After church, Garth and I ended up going to Tysons (where I had a bit of a pants-buying mishap at Gap), and then had a delicious lunch at Five Guys (MMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!) This was followed with 2 or 3 hours of Pride and Prejudice, and THEN…

We saw the best concert E-V-A-H!

Ok, so actually, Sigur Ros was the best concert I’ve ever seen, but this was, by far, the most FUN concert I’ve ever been to.

The opening acts were – Speak Demonic and the Medications. The Medications, obviously, are good, but I’d never heard Speak Demonic before. Their name is incredibly sketchy, but they’re just a fabulous blend of viola, mild electronica, and drums. I bought a CD because they’ll be great for studying too. Very Hypnotic.

But the main act was – Go! Team, who is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, people! I knew I liked them and all before hand, but man. I came away loving them heart and soul ^_^ The lead singer is this tiny, adorable, black British girl (the whole bunch of them are British) who is peppy beyond belief. The whole show reminded me of a 5th grade sock hop I went to, where everybody was in the best mood they’d been in for weeks, just shouting along with the words (there’s lots of cheerleader-esque chanting in the songs), watching the band members dance around in their knee-high socks, and bobbing about with gleeful, happy abandon.

Serious fun, folks!!

(btw, she was NEVER not moving [none of them were], which made photos hard :)


And now I’m sitting here wide awake, listening to Madonna. I’ll probably go make some softies in a minute.
