The parentals are off to Peru and the Galapagos Islands for about a month. I'll be minding the house and packing to move out of it.
Friday I took in more poetry, as Ayodele Heath featured at the Portfolio Center. It's on Bennett Street, so I wandered the neighboring galleries that were having opening, soaked up some art and had a long talk with the full moon as I finished a glass of wine.
Saturday I dropped off the parents at the MARTA station so they could have a full day of hanging around airports. I did my usual Saturday errands, did a little cleaning and got a haircut. (Pics forthcoming--though it's really not too radical a change to those who know me.) That evening, I went to see The Julia Dream at Smith's Olde Bar. Also caught a band called The Lord is my Shotgun, who were actually not too bad. Not as rockabilly as the name might imply. Made a mental note to check them out again. Ran into Ang and gave her a very belated gift.
Sunday I slept late (I'd done my Catholic business the night before) used what was left on an Applebee's gift card that a certain annoying boy had given me to buy brunch, thought about going to see a movie but didn't see anything listed that really grabbed me, went home and watched an Ed Wood DVD instead (Glen or Glenda?) and laughed very loudly. Took a long sticky nap, added some CDs to my iTunes rotation (The Cardigans and--finally!--some INXS) and then went down to Stone Mountain to catch some roller derby action. The Atlanta Rollergirls have been at it for a few years now but this was the first game I'd actually managed to make it to. It's a bit like football--loud, fast, violent and a touch confusing to me. But it was fun and I may check out the upcoming match in two weeks.
So, yeah, that was my weekend. And how was yours?
Today I took pleasure in the delightful sequel to the "Making Fun of Duran Duran" video I posted earlier.
Today I learned about a therapist who uses Dante's Divine Comedy as a means of viewing problems.

Thanks for sharing that! I think I might have even liked it better than the first one! *chuckle*
"Why, hello"
"I'm not interested!"
"Cheeseburgers!"
I thought about doing it at one point, but having seen a match I don't think I'd have the stamina for it. So I'll just support from the sidelines.
