Ah, yes, Spamalot was in town last week, and guess who went! Nothing will ever be quite as good as the original Holy Grail, but it was definitely one of the best stage adaptions I've ever seen! I could rant on and on about all the funny bits, and jokes, but hey *points to convenient bale of hay* as long as the Artists-Formerly-Known-As-The-Knights-Who-Say-Nee! get Celine's dress back to her in time, the show was a riot. And the French taunters were just perfect. On top of the show, it's the first time in a long time that my Mom, brother, sister, and I got to go out for a night just the 4 of us. Really awesome!
The rest of life's been pretty busy too. We played pool with another friend on Saturday night which was really fun. We taught him 9-ball, and he taught us how to play pool with 3 people! Basically, after the break, once you sink something, instead of calling stripes or solids, you call a set of 5 (1-5, 6-10, 11-15). The object is then to sink all of the opponents balls before they sink yours. The rest of the rules are pretty much the same as 8-ball. Very fun!
And the busy just never ends! Melody, an Aitken labbie graduate, when on to do big things out in BC. Well, she's home for the week before heading out to Calgary for her new job! We're all SOOOOOO proud of her. Not only is she crazy awesome, she was top of her program too. So there is a lab dinner tonight (for those that knew her while she was with us) in her honour. More fun!
Along with the busy life, Katie's been staying with us too, since Brian's had surgury and still isn't supposed to be driving (are you listening, you silly man?). She's such a good kid. 'Cept when she forgets to tell us things, then "reminds us" the day that it needs to happen. But she's been so much fun to have around. It's been 2 weeks, and we've got one more to go, and we've got such a nice routine going. But on friday she goes home. Brian's back to work on monday, so they're back to their routine. And Andre and I are gone to Toronto for the weekend, just to get away for a bit. And a little bit for his birthday (yes, we're going to Medieval Times, you're welcome honey).
The knitting's been going kinda sporadically. The big fluffly green sweater is seamed. Now I just need to pick up and start the collar. Shouldn't take too long. Oh, and it was snowing, just a little bit, this morning, so there's now a rush for my hat. And Katie still wants her socks. And mitts. But she's progressing really nicely on her scarf, so who knows, maybe she'll beat me to it!
