My weekend was full of nothing much. It was great. On Saturday I slept in and finished Xenocide. Seraph and his fiance interrupted my warring Civ3 with a lovely cookie delivery visit,
Then we went out to the scrapbooking shop, Real Groovy (bought Battle Royale, Volcano High and 10 things I hate about you) and food shopping and refilling the gas bottle for the heater.
Saturday night was Civ3 and watching DVDs. Sunday I finished my Civ3 game with a cultural victory. It was mostly because I decimated the French and took all their cities. My culture wasn't that great but it was HUGE. heh.
I'm gonna go for space race victory next. Go me!
I had people over for storytime. I felt pretty weird about it. I had a lot of misgivings when it actually came down to reading to people and I felt much more nervous and weird than I ever have in front of the strangers who come to storytime in the library. I guess because I was reading to people I like and admire, I didn't want to embarass myself or come off as corny or a weirdo children's librarian forcing things on her friends.
Once I was actually reading I felt better, although I think the funnier books went down better than Round Trip, which is just neat pictures, no real story or anything. I guess I'll do it again, I mean, people seemed to enjoy it and Matt and Debbie said 'Next time, we'll bring books" so that seems positive.
There will be more Rosemary Wells next time!
A bunch of people left to see Bourne Supremacy but the ret of us stayed in the heated apartment and played Trivial Pursuit. Debbie won after a while. There was much hilarity and clue giving. Great game. I was only one pie piece behind.
Watched some Family Guy last night. Was funny. Back at work today. Feel stangely engergised and upbeat.
