Interesting week

It has been a curious week. A short week, thank Gods, but some very interesting moments. Thursday was a highlight. Went to a (very) minor league baseball game here in town. The local team has been active, on and off, under various names for most of the 11 years I've lived here. This was my first game. I enjoy baseball, but it's reputation as boring is not entirely unjustified. I'd much rather go to the local UHL hockey team games, which I do one or two times a year. Part of the problem was that the attendance was much lower than the hockey games, and that the crowd was scattered. The box seats and bleachers were along the baselines, and were sparse at best. The general, 'cheap seats' were past first and third bases on each sides, and looked pretty packed. It was also dollar beer night, so for ten dollars, the high end box seat cost, those cheap seats could get pretty plastered. I don't think I'd go if I didn't get either a box or reserved bleacher. I'm not a big enough fan to not have a good view of the game.

Last night was a Movie night again. This time we took the effort to make a truely big screen. We saw Monty Pythons Holy Grail. A classic. Our TD even hooked up the sound system in the theatre so we heard it thru the main speakers, not the kickin' computer speakers we had last time. Then we watched a DVD of mine of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare - Abridged, by the Reduced Shakespeare Company. All 37 of Shakespeare's plays in 90 minutes. Hilarious.
I ended up not drinking as much as I usually do. Only about half a pint of Captain Morgan (my friend). I really didn't think I should drink more. I was going home before too long, and didn' t want Wife to hassle me about drinking again. I'm treading on thin ice by staying out late so many nights in a row. She's on a barbeque kick. Meaning that she harps on ME to fire up the coals and grill her dinner. We want to do another one on Sunday. Then we have to restore the stage back to a theater. I'm trying to convince Wife to come along, but I'll be lucky if I get to go. This is bad news for my friends, since it's my laptop we use to run them. They can still run DVDs, but it means hooking up the video computer, complete with keyboard, mouse, etc. just a lot more work and hassle for them. We'll see how that goes.
We almost have all our work done before the Boss returns on Monday. TD only got half of his last project finished, and that may be acceptable; it was two two-part doors, and he got the important lower half of each one done. I didn't get all the tech table moved into the theatre seats for next weeks load-in of a show, and I need to get some lighting instruments out of the sceneshop where they got cleaned but are now underfoot. Both pretty minor things though, both will take a half hour max.
Hmmm. for thinking I didn't have much to say, I ended up rambling on for quite a while.
Oh yeah, my bookmark of the day: Lord Randolph's Chainmaile Fashions (from my SCA arts/sciences folder). The site has some fabulous Chainmail clothing both modest RenFaire wear and 'Adult' fetishwear. He is a master mailer, and an artist too. A large and intricate site, with about three checkpoints before you find yourself in the fetishwear section so modest eyes won't be offended without due warning.
