Nobody likes an overachiever

So, yet another productive weekend at Snappish Towers. I was on call so I couldn't really go anywhere, like to the movies or into London. I spent an hour or so yesterday evening rearranging the living room so the sofa was closer to the TV - I have a 24" widescreen Sony, which isn't really big enough for the size of the room - and putting the dining table on the other side. Apart from that when I wasn't either asleep, eating or out buying season 5 of The Sopranos and a present for my baby, I spent the entire weekend watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. 24 episodes - all of season one and half of season two - so you can't say I wasted my time in idle, worthless pursuits. I called Erin in Portland yesterday - we've been married five months as of yesterday - and for some reason she thinks my watching a whole pile of Buffy is the greatest thing ever. Heh, did I marry the right girl, or what?

Another wedding in the family

It's 2.18am right now which makes it 9.18pm over in the US, where my mother in law is getting married right about now, on a boat somewhere in Maine. I was supposed to be there but with airfares running at over £600 to Boston at this time of year we couldn't afford for both of us to go, so only Erin is there. I'm really sorry I couldn't go. I think my mom-in-law is great and I wanted to be there with Erin, Patrick, David and Maeghan to see her get married.

So anyway, to Kim and Dave, I wish you all the happiness in the world and the best of luck.
