This weekend was for celebrating Mya's last final. It was also for meeting the infamous Richie, who is getting married this week, and toasting my brother at the Red Dragon (something about him fundamentally running the company or something...). Saturday was for reading Sherant's blogathon posts and watching her awesome work process. Then it was for The Simpsons Movie and an awful bookstore which provided rather well, actually. Then it was for SUPERGAME. First and last, for me, probably, but SUPER. And for buying CD's from jodi from her trunk at 1 AM. Awesome.

Today was for reading my impulse purchase (a YAF novel called Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin. It's about dead people, and is charming and non-formulaic and imaginative and realistic, which is pretty amazing). Then it was for impulsively inviting my parents over for dinner, which went rather well. We had: cooled asparagus and clam bisque with blue cheese, corn on the cob, and pasta with peppered chicken breasts and tomato-mint sauce with avocados. A ton of food out of our little tiny kitchen all at once. Then Mya kicked all our butts at Night Sky Monopoly. It's only 10 PM, I may yet have time to start a knitting project.

Does anyone know of any good frame shops around here? I have a piece I'd like framed that I already have the matting for, but it is not yet matted. It is pretty big (24"x36" maybe)? I definitely want some place that isn't going to charge me *extra* to mat it with matting that I provide. Any ideas?

This weekend was, unfortunately, not for actually writing my admission essays, for going on a bike ride, or for winning the lottery, but hey, a girl can't have everything, right?

the hedge abides.

Know any art students? When I was one, I had constant access to matting equipment and could get away with matting anything without anyone so much as blinking an eye.

I've considered that, but don't (think) I know any art students, although who knows who has a mat cutter when you least expect it. I do still want it framed, though, and can't do that myself.

windelina's husband Chris works at a framing shop. Might be a good place to start.

[hedgiewan.livejournal.com]

I thought he did, but wasn't sure that he still does. Any idea which shop?

Sorry, no. He is montechristobo on LJ, I bet you could ask either of them.

off topis- what's the most reliable way to get a hold of your mom? I have tubs of old costumes- a few pieces are hers, and then I have tons of stufff I made that I'll never use, so I was wondering if she or Clann Tartan might have use for them. I didn't get a response to emails I sent awhile back

Geez. Who knows with her, sometimes. If you want to hand them off to me, I can pass them on to her. Otherwise, I'll give her your phone number and nag her. Sorry she didn't return your e-mails; that's usually the best way to get a hold of her, but she may have her spam settings up really high or something.

that dinner sounds aMAZing. cooled asparagus and clam bisque with blue cheese???? gahhhh *drool*

[hedgiewan.livejournal.com]

Oddly enough, there are leftovers! Come and get 'em!

Ha. You never have *me* over for dinner!

And based on how I reacted to the steak that Doug'n'Ellie brought over - that's probably a good thing...

[hedgiewan.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't had you guys over for dinner *yet*.

And based on how hot our apartment got when I cooked last weekend, it may be gazpacho...
