Tonight, foeclan and feezlekahn stopped over, looking to go out for food; no plan was in hand as of yet, other than the suggestion of pizza. We (me, them, zxizaraxii, khirsahdrgn and phineus) ended up going to Black Sheep Pizza (http://www.blacksheeppizza.com/). Wow. VERY good, and they have Surly's beer! The booth was a little cramped for six, but oh well. I definitely wanna go back, especially since its in the Warehouse District, where I need to do scouting for locations in one of the stories I'm writing. :)

Oh- I had a 12" cheese and sauce pizza with white mushrooms and fennel sausage.

Okay, so my weekend actually is Friday and Saturday nights, but still. On Thursday I had a CEU class for work instead of my normal shift, so I was up all day at that instead of asleep. I crashed when I got home, getting up about four hours later. I ended up crashing early again that night (for me), around 4 AM or so. Friday was quiet, til the evening when I, joshuwain, foeclan and feezlekahn all did a little shopping run to two of the Half Price Books stores, Best Buy and a little used DVD place. I struck out on what I was after (the True Blood first two seasons sets), but I did get 'Cronkite Remembers', which is a autobiographical series by Unka Walt himself. It was ten bucks, so hey. I already have my folks wanting to borrow it! Oh- I DID find what I wanted online after, for the price I was limiting myself to- woot.

Also that night we ate at a little hole in the wall called 'Jimbos'. Its an ancient little dive restaurant off highway 10 in Blaine, that I always saw while I grew up. Never ate there before now, but I liked it- good, if not five-star food. The marinera was too sweet for me, but it was cheap and filling.

After all that, groceries were purchased and people headed for home. I once again crashed early, forgetting to make the Swedish meatballs for the game on Saturday. Fortunately, I woke with plenty of time to get 'em done. three pounds of meatballs went over well and were gone save for two!

The game, a Dresden Files short (test?) run, was a blast, It was the last run of the limited run, so the Saturday group is now going back to the Skylands campaign, which I'm not in.

Sunday was for the most part quiet, save that whilst I was holding Spaz, he freaked out for some reason and ripped my face pretty nastily. Its not actually that bad, but it looks like I was in a fight. I think he's gonna go to the vet to see about kitty-Ritalin or something else- he's WAY too strung, all the time, and I'm tired of his chasing Lady.

And now, I'm off to work. Bleah.

Okay. joshuwain stopped by after he got done with work and wanted to go out for food. We ended up going to Stanleys, a small bar/restaurant south of me on University Avenue. It used to be Stasius, and was relatively famous in the area as a local hangout. Well, Stanleys has been open for about two months, and while its a nice place, its obvious that they've only been around for a short time. I think they'll get better with time. In other news, I shipped my one 'off-site' gift this morning, and during the day the FINAL gift arrived in the mail. Its now wrapped and under the tree. :)

Its been otherwise a quiet day, though I could have slept better.

We went to Buca De Beppo, and excellent family-style Italian restaurant here in Minneapolis It IS a chain, but a truly worthwhile one. It was myself, joshuwain, foeclan and feezlekahn who went. foeclan was struck by the Xmas spirit and decided to pay, which was VERY cool. Me and joshuwain has the chicken parmesana, which was very good, and with it I had Peroni beer- about 1 3/4 pints worth! Right now I'm quite mellow.

I've also received a standup mixer, which joshuwain had foisted off on him by a relative- I'm not complaining!

When I got home, I also sampled the bottle of Kraken rum I'd gotten earlier. Truly excellent! iatro and khirsahdrgn joined me in this.
