Memorial Day Weekend.

I had a pretty good weekend. On Friday, they let us out of work early. I did some ironing, cleaned the toilets, and watched TV. On Saturday, I got together with Harry, Liz, and Norma. We ran some errands, ate lunch, and went to their place. We watched Megamind and Resident Evil: Afterlife. I spent the night there.

On Sunday, I went to church with them. Afterwards, we had lunch and ran some errands. They took me home, and I took a nap. I started watching my DVD copy of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

I had today off of work. I did my grocery shopping. Diana made sloppy joes for lunch with baked beans. I took a nap, then worked on my laundry. I did some sweeping and some reading. I watched more of Revenge of the Fallen.

Pirates, lazy Sunday.

On Saturday, I got together with Harry, Liz, and Norma. We ate breakfast at McDonald's, then ran some errands. We went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: on Stranger Tides. We ate lunch, ran some more errands, and went back to their place. Later, we ate dinner at Hector's before they took me home.

Today, I did the usual Sunday stuff. I took a nap, then worked on laundry. I did some reading and watched TV.

Spiders, Freeing Tyr.

Last night, I saw something I hardly believed: a wolf spider trapped in the web of a tiny house spider (or possibly a comb-footed spider). Apparently, sometime during that evening, a wolf spider was crawling across the floor of my bathroom and got caught in a web on the floor beneath my towel rack. In what must have been an epic battle, a spider a fifth the size of the wolf spider subdued and bit the much larger spider. I didn't see the struggle myself, only the aftermath: the snared wolf spider with its legs bent in, and the tiny web-building spider feeding on it.

Today, I played more of my "Marvel: Ultimate Alliance" game on my PS2. I switched between Spider-Man and Thor on the Asgard portion of the Valhalla level. As Spider-Man, I fought alongside Thor, Ghost Rider, and Iron Man and beat the [Ultra]Scorpion and the Lizard. As Thor, I forged the Asgard Armor and freed Tyr.

Thor, Comics, Mother's Day.

On Friday night, I went to see Thor (in 3-D) with Harry, Liz, and Liz's sister. Afterwards, we picked up Norma and ate a late dinner at Olive Garden

On Saturday, I put in a few extra hours at work, then went to Krypton Comics. It was Free Comic Book Day, so I picked up half a dozen comics and a Green Lantern HeroClix figure. Afterwards, I went home, took a nap, and did some laundry.

Today is Mother's Day. I got together with Diana, Cosmo, Wanda, Gwen, Norman, and Norman's folks, brother, and sister-in-law at Norman's place. We had lunch, then I went back to my place for a nap. I finished the laundry.

Zoo and the Wrecking Crew.

Above is a picture from when I was kayaking with Diana and Timmy in California. It's one of the houses we went by in the harbor.

On Saturday, I got together with Harry, Liz, and Norma. We went to Hector's for lunch, ran an errand, and headed over to the zoo. Norma wasn't as interested in the animals as we had hoped, though she did notice a butterfly flying around Harry in the Butterfly Habitat and was intrigued by the jellyfish we saw in the aquarium:



Today, I finished the laundry leftover from Saturday. I called Cosmo and Wanda to wish them a happy anniversary. I played "Marvel: Ultimate Alliance" on my PS2: I beat the Wrecking Crew playing as Iron Man with Spider-Man, Dr. Strange, and Wolverine. Afterwards, I did some exploring and got Thor and Ghost Rider back. I played as Thor for awhile and got the Hammer of Vidar in Asgard.
