I blame Arnold

Arnold passed this on to me. As like half of the very few people who read this blog are related to me, many of the questions don't apply. Oh well.

1. Who are you?
2. Are we friends?
3. When and how did we meet?
4. Do you have a crush on me?
5. Would you kiss me?
6. Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it.
7. Describe me in one word.
8. What was your first impression?
9. Do you still think that way about me now?
10. What reminds you of me?
11. If you could give me anything what would it be?
12. How well do you know me?
13. When's the last time you saw me?
14. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?
15. Are you going to put this on your blog and see what I say about you?

Gelato Spaghetti

We went down to Spoleto again on Saturday. Luckily we went early enough to avoid most of the traffic nightmare. We met Tim at the Visitor's Center and walked around and looked at art a bit. When Arnold saw a restaurant with "nacho" in the title we had lunch, though we didn't have nachos, we had quesadillas. We walked around a bit more and then Roger joined us. He hadn't eaten yet so we were once again on the search for a restaurant. We ended up at WildWings. The only interesting part of WildWings was that when I sat on to toilet in the girl's bathroom my knees hit the lockless door. No, I didn't spontaneously grow 2 feet, the stall was that small.

We saw three shows. The first was a one-man Star Wars show that was hilarious. He even kept the bit about Chewy not getting a medal at the end of the first(fourth) movie. The second said it was a "Vaudeville" act. It was really a show for kids where one man makes a fool of himself as many different characters. However, anyone who can do a handstand on an 8 ft ladder and then tuck and tumble off of it deserves some respect.We had gelato in between the first two shows. Arnold and I ordered gelato spaghetti. They put gelato through a pasta press and then cover it in raspberry sauce. Mmm...Delicious.Roger and Timm went home after the second show. Arnold and I weren't hungry show so we just went to the park and killed some time. It was quite peaceful.

The third show deserves its own paragraph. It was a sort-of musical called Tristan and Yesult. It was put on by a Cornish (as in from Cornwall) theatre troop. It was a modern twist on the story, or stories as there have been many versions over the centuries. The show was visually stunning, humorous, serious, and pretty much awesome. It is, however, hard to describe in detail.

The only interesting traffic we hit was on the way home because it was late and multiple events were getting out at the same time the clubs were getting filled up.

Cakes and Boredom

So I had my first cake decorating last night. They oversold so a class of 12 ended up being a class of 23. I volunteered to switch to the Monday morning class. It turns out that I should have bought the stupid expensive kit instead of the moderately expensive kit because I am going to spend that much anyway. But at least this way I spend the money on exactly what I need instead of a bunch of stuff I don't. The class looks like it is going to be fun.

In other news...there isn't much other news. Arnold and I went to Anderson last weekend. I had fun with Sherry while Arnold went to a Bachelor Party. Sherry and I did costume recon. for Dragon*Con. Arnold and I are going down to Spoleto tomorrow. Spoleto is a 17 day arts festival in Charleston that we didn't take advantage of this year because I am a moron and didn't look at the schedule in time. We are still going to fit in two shows though. Amy and I went down yesterday to look at the artwork. There were a lot of very talented people there. The fact that it was a clear breezy day helped.

Other than that I have been waking up at noon and not doing a whole lot.
