Had a nice weekend. Went to V2 a wine bar over in Smyrna Friday night with ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) shalie where we met starlancer and LJ less Mike, Lisa, Paul and Beverly. Nice little place a bit reminiscent of back alley speakeasy. It got pretty crowded around 10 o'clock.
shalie gave me a 32 inch plasma TV as a combination birthday and thank you gift Saturday. We also shopped around to find a table to fit next to her desk.
I spent Saturday night and Sunday working on building a device so we could mount it in the armoire. Finally got it up and mounted early Sunday evening.
shalie Spent the rest of the evening looking up the code so we could program the remote.
Unfortunately, we missed fwod's birthday get together. If I'd known they'd still be there till ten, we would have driven down. |

| Last night was fun |
[Jun. 22nd, 2008|09:13 am] |
I went to the Alchemy event at the Blue Tower Gallery and got to hang with some old friends for a bit. It was a fund raiser for the burning man event in August. They had a bunch of great art and fun folks.
from my phone.
The gallery had a little movie theater in the back that showed footage from the Burning Man event in Nevada. Watching the various clips gave me a chance to really see the soul of Burning Man and the different people involved in making it happen.
I had to leave early to go to a birthday party at the Pentagon Club at the Dekalb Peachtree Airport. A friend was turning fifty and celebrating at the airport. The Pentagon Club is an old traffic control tower that a bunch of pilots rent for functions. We got to hang out with the pilots and watch the planes take off and land amidst the electric blue lines of the landing strips on the midnight colored blacktop. Midnight rolled around and it was time for this fifty year old to head home to bed. |

| What type of person do you attract? Your Result: You attract Yuppies! You attract the very well-dressed, job oriented type of people. They usually have their finances together, are 'middle of the road' on most topics, generally happy with the 'main-stream' of things.

You Scored an A
|
You got 10/10 questions correct.
It's pretty obvious that you don't make basic grammatical errors.
If anything, you're annoyed when people make simple mistakes on their blogs.
As far as people with bad grammar go, you know they're only human.
And it's humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes.

Your result for The What Middle Earth race do you belong to Test... The What Middle Earth race do you belong to Test
You scored high in morality and intelligence, but lower in physical strength and aggression, which means you're probably a Wizard. Counted among the very wise and (with that one exception) good creatures of Middle Earth are the Wizards, or Istari. Though they appear as old men, the Istari are actually powerful Maiar spirits sent from Valinor to Middle Earth to act as caretakers of the land and guides to men and beasts. Their supernatural heritage means they're also the only line of defense against rogue Maiar like Balrogs. Though only Gandalf, Saruman and Radagast are named through the novels, there are two other Wizards at large in Middle Earth, quietly working to bring tranquility to their surroundings.
Your polar opposite is the Urûk-Hai. Take The What Middle Earth race do you belong to Test at HelloQuizzy |

Cancer Horoscope for week of June 5, 2008
Whatever you do, Cancerian, DON'T open the door of that closet that hasn't been opened in years. DON'T poke your nose into the funny business that has been going on behind the scenes. DON'T peek inside Pandora's other box, or pick the fruit of temptation off the tree of knowledge, or rush in, like a trusting fool, where angels fear to tread. DON'T do any of these controversial, forbidden things, my dear Crab -- unless you want to risk embarking on some enigmatic, elemental, enlightening adventures. |
