This Weekend

[deird_lj]

- Voted in an election that still has no result. Apparently, our country has no firm opinions, and can't decide who we want in charge.

- Went to a birthday dinner for my sister. Three excitable nephews, LOTS of pasta, and a nice time. Also, the boyfriend met the rest of my family. :)

- Abandoned the new novel I'm halfway through, and picked up an Agatha Christie novel I've read several times. Had just got to the first murder (strangled girl guide) when I remembered that I'm actually trying to learn Latin and haven't looked at it for a while. Abandoned murder mystery before the second murder (drowned grandfather) and turned to Latin accusative forms - and then realised the second murder is where the whole thing gets interesting, and returned to Agatha Christie.
I seem to be indecisive...

- When I got home last night, Smudge (the kitten) came running to the door, realised it was me, and walked off disappointed. He's definitely a one-woman-cat.

- Played Knightmare Chess with the boyfriend today, who beat me very quickly - despite the fact that I'd ended up with 4 queens.

- Am halfway through House season 6. I think this might end up being my favourite season of the show. It's brilliant.

- Next weekend, by hook or by crook, I am getting new plants for my garden and planting them where the Evil Roses Of Doom have been sitting. It's spring, and I need my pretty flowers!

These two might correlate:

"Apparently, our country has no firm opinions, and can't decide who we want in charge." & "I seem to be indecisive...". ;)

Heh. Good point.

Hahaha! I actually thought that was deliberate :p

My cat was called Smudge as well, she was a one woman (or even one person), cat too.

The main message I'm hearing from the non-result of the election is "little to the left... nuh, keep going... bit more..."

I remember when I was first living by myself and I got a cat. I thought: "It will HAVE to like me best, I'll be the only one here!" You can see I was never the family pet's favorite, LOL.

"I seem to be indecisive."

Are you sure about that?

Ooh - I've read that Agatha Christie... but then, I think I've read them all...

How did the boyfriend cope with the family? My niece finally brought her boyfriend (of about 2 years standing!) to a family lunch today - He didn't actually run away screaming... so he'll do!

The boyfriend seemed to cope. :) Mind you, he hasn't seen us at full-strength crazy yet...

We were very reserved and refined :)

I love Agatha Christie!

"Our country has no firm opinions" — and can anyone blame us when the main discernible policy of each major party is "the other guy sucks"? :-p

Yay for a nice time with everything going well.

Love Agatha Christie - even most of the film versions.

Happy Sunday!

Maybe their opinions are too firm to elect someone who is bound to betray them? Isn't that what elections are for?

Nightmare Chess is fun. If you ever play constructed deck, I can email you my favourite build.
