quick lunchtime update: autumn festivities

Blew off Yet Another Meeting at shul last night in favor of staying home.
Baked an apple clafoutis (a sort of batter-pudding custard pancake thing, definitely tasty although it could have used more vanilla and maybe some spices. I still have 6 more apples from our apple-picking so I can try one more round).
Left a phone message for jessruth. Washed all the dishes. Vacuumed. Took out the trash and the recycling. Watched ER.
Had company for the crossword puzzle. :-)

Life is better now.
Seriously, it is. I didn't get that backrub, exactly; instead I got the specific solace I actually needed, on more than one front, and that makes all the difference.

Tons going on this weekend (tonight's Shabbat dinner has very nearly reached capacity at 80 people, good Lord; parties: ablock's and coraline's; two rehearsals)...

... and next weekend (being Halloween of course).
Dresden Dolls at Avalon on Saturday, 5:30pm (doors at 5) leaving plenty of party-hopping time afterwards. I'm probably going to buy some box-office tickets Monday, so if you expect (or would like) me very sweetly to get you one, e-mail me. >:-)
And on Sunday, 10/31 itself, I have conspired with points to drum up an outing to the Davis Mega Maze. Hours are 10-5, exact plans TBD; more info here. Comment on either entry to be counted in!

With that -- back to my report and my 2pm meeting.
