+ 2 - 0 | § ¶Weekend update
I didn't do a whole lot this weekend, but there was still a little excitement...My mom and Dan went to Iowa to visit my grandmother and my great-great-aunt on Friday. They were supposed to come back today (Sunday), but the car broke down about 20 miles in from the Illinois border, and Josh had to drive out to help them. They'll be coming back Monday sometime, hopefully.
Earlier today, we watched Ju-on: The Grudge, the Japanese remake of Ju-on and "premake" of The Grudge with Sarah Michelle Gellar. Or rather, I watched it, and Josh watched part of it and slept through the rest.
In other news, Marisa is moving out of the house, going to live in Bloomington-Normal. So it'll soon be just me and Josh living here again. That might be a little weird, so I might start looking for another roommate. However, given that the bathroom still isn't done, it might be difficult to get somebody who would be willing to put up with that.
I didn't get seriously April Fools'ed today, nor did I play any jokes. However, I was amused by this year's entry in Google's annual April Fools' Day gag, Google TiSP, a new way to connect to the internet. They actually had two this year, the other one being Gmail Paper.
Also, there was a collaborative gag over at TrekBBS's Trek Literature board, where several of the Star Trek writers claimed to be involved with a Star Trek TV reality/game show called Starfleet Academy, to be produced by Survivor's Mark Burnett. The thread is here, though the discussion doesn't begin until TG Theodore's March 31 post, about halfway down the second page.
This coming Tuesday night, I'm going to go see Peter Robinson, one of President Reagan's speechwriters, and the one who wrote the "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall" speech, speak at Reagan's alma mater, Eureka College. He will be talking about his book, How Ronald Reagan Changed My Life. Should be interesting.
I guess that's about it. Time for bed.
