I'm snagging this meme from jedibuttercup

Day 02- A Photo with Flowers in it

( Three pictures under the cut )

So since I last posted jedibuttercup and have finished the Epic Road Trip of 2012. It is getting to be so epic I think Bards will compose Sagas about it.

( Picture heavy )

jedibuttercup and I went and saw Twilight on Sunday. I was prepared to hate it but strangely found myself liking it. I will probably in the next week or so drag earcmacfithil to see it. (I have yet to read the books.)

I had issues though and I will elaborate ( under here )

All in all I agree with jedibuttercup's statement when the credits rolled,"That was some high quality crack."

jedibuttercup. This october we will have been friends 12 years. We met in college and have been good friends ever since.

It started thursday when earcmacfithil and I had dinner with my grandparents. Always an interesting time.

Friday is earcmacfithil's day off (he works 4 ten hour days) so he went to the SCA demo with me. (I had stayed up late Thursday to make a wool shawl lined with flannel and I'm glad I did as it was more than a little chilly while watching the fighters do there thing.

Friday night earcmacfithil, me, my parents, and my brother and sister in law went to the Michael W. Smith "It's A Wonderful Christmas" concert. ( Michael W. Smith Fangirling )
Saturday we went to the barony of Stromgard's Yule. For the second saturday in a row I got to dance with earcmacfithil. That always makes me happy.

Sunday was the Shire of Mountain Edge's business meeting and it only lasted 25 minutes. Then we went and saw my Mother in law so she could take the gifties for her side of the family when she goes done to the Bay area.

Monday night I was at jedibuttercup's to watch the 6th Sharpe movie. (Shrape's Gold) Let me just say WTF? Why is there a story with Aztec Gold and heathens who faly their sacrifices in the middle of the Napoleonic War? I thought this was a 19th century rommance/adventure not an Indiana Jones movie. We also watched the last instalment to Tin Man and Slings & Arrows episode 3.6 "The Promised End." It was the usual fun to snark with someone who gets all the wierd refferences. (Seriously, "It's what I DO.")

How are all of you?

We have managed to find a temporary home for the car that was going to get towed. Our mechanic is the collection point for a charity that gives a $500 per car tax credit and he was willing to hold the cars until we can get a replacement title to sign it over to the charity. So that where the two are. We will be buying a newish car from him before mid-June when earcmacfithil goes to Idaho for a Penstemon Society meeting so I won't be stuck at home with out transportation for a week. I love our mechanic. That was pretty cool and removed a huge burden off my shoulders.

As per the last month, Friday night found me down at jedibuttercup's for the Stargates. Loved Bad Guys. Yes Daniel was over the top and out of character(even Michael Shanks says so) but it was fun. I loved Mitchell's reference to the seaweed of season two's Prisoners and Daniel's don't go there. Loved the whole "Say what you mean." "I don't think you want me to do that." "I don't think you want to think what I think." exchange. Loved that it was Teal'c who got the Die Hard reference. (jedibuttercup's squeal of delight was nearly defening. Her love of Die Hard is legendary and her love of Teal'c is pretty big too so the combination was almost frightening. There is a reason I enjoy watching SG1 and SGA with her. There is never a small reaction it is either LOVED it or HATED it but never just meh.)
Over all fun.

Now I'm home and up stoking the wood fire kiln. earcmacfithil has been stoking all day and went to bed around 10:30pm and banked the fire for me to stoke at 1:30AM, 3:30AM, and probably 5:30AM. We're firing till this afternoon so if you're in the area come by andsay hi. We'll open the kiln after 4pmon Sunday. We're doing the Dundee Sunday market in the morning.

I went down to jedibuttercup's obstensably to take pictures of Brutheiel and watch some recorded episodes of tv. Well I forgot the digital camera so no kitten pictures. But I did watch my first episode of Stargate. (Episode 200 for those interested.) I found it fun though I didn't get probably half of it but I will eventually. Then we watched the episode Stargate Atlantis that was very much like the Buffy episode "Normal Again". It was kind of fun and the boys were pretty. Then I forced jedibuttercup to watch the "Man in the Fallout Shellter" episode of Bones. (For those keeping track at home that is my favorate episode of the first season.) She laughed in all the right places and sniffed apporpriately, and agreed that sometimes Brennan should keep her mouth shut aboutt somethings.(Like Booth having a kid out of wedlock.)

jedibuttercup made me a DVD of some fanvids and so far all but the "Another Train" Daniel Jackson one have played well on Serenity (we named the laptop after a certain Firefly class ship.) The song for that vid plays and I like the song so it is ok. (oh yeah, jedibuttercup, I'll put those photos up this afternoon so they'll be ready when you get home. If you're still up, go to bed.)

I get home at about 1AM and find the husband, earcmacfithil, has unloaded Vera Verasdottir (the propane kiln) and he over fired it yesterday but got good reduction and nothing stuck to shelves so all is good. Some colors look off if you know what you're looking at. But we actually got purple, so YAY! My pocerlain looks even glassier and pretty.
