a_bit_of_wit_2: (Blow me.)
Ah, the weekend. What, it's been a couple of weeks since I last did a real update? I mean, by now you've seen my trailer and ad for Metal Gear, my 10th character battle contest. Signups begin May 20, and will continue to June 12. Contest will begin June 15. However, there will be a major change in store, so stay tuned.

So, what's gone on in the Life of Brian these past couple of weeks? Two weeks ago, April, Luc, and I went down to New Paltz to visit Wyatt and company, and also to go to the Hudson Valley Mayfaire, the first of the RenFaires we usually go to every year. Great fun, although none of us thought to bring sunscreen. It was between 65 and 70 degrees out, and none of us even thought about it. Needless to say, the womenfolk had nice, charbroiled breasts by day's end, and poor April and Mary not only had sunburn on their chests, but also on their faces. So there was aloe to be slathered all around. I'm grateful for my nice hat, Awesome, who kept my face free from sunburn. Regardless, a fun day. A fun weekend, actually. We ended up not going to the Faire on Sunday, given that we'd run out of money, so we just hung out until evening, when we left. And damn you, Jesse, for showing us Repo! The Genetic Opera. Its awesomeness caused me to buy the soundtrack, and I've been listening to it ever since.

Shortly after, April and I celebrated our 5-year anniversary. Now that I think about it, our 5 year anniversary fell on the 5th day of the 5th month. Maybe I should have played Numbers, except I work for the Lottery and therefore can't play. We had dinner at T.G.I. Friday's (the same one in which they found a snake's head in someone's meal a couple of days later), and April had already purchased an anniversary present--very nice black leather gloves to go with my RenFaire garb. Now I really need a rapier. I had to wait 2 more weeks to buy an anniversary present for my lovely, considering that during the last pay period, Sage yoinked their final payment for the semester--which was why I had just enough money to go to the Faire for a day. I can't tell you what I got April, because she reads this LJ. Suffice to say, it's on the way here.

Speaking of Sage, for those that didn't know, I did get an A in my Photo I class, which means that I got A's in both courses I took this semester. Yes, it's only 2 courses, but I like seeing the 4.0 GPA in my grades. Needless to say, I'm quite happy. Next semester, I'll be taking Drawing I and Digital Imaging I, so it should be interesting.

Last weekend, April was away with family down on Long Island, so I had the weekend to myself. Erica came over and we finished Eternal Darkness...at least, one of the 3 storylines. Not much different for the other two, except now I have to play them so that Erica can see the real ending of the game. Other than that, a lot of loafing.

Which now brings us to here. Looks like April and I will have a weekend to ourselves, and then next weekend--Memorial Day Weekend--we'll be going to Cape Cod to visit my family. I haven't seen them since Christmas, and my mom got to see me on Mother's Day, when I called her up using my computer and webcam. I also may have to get my stepdad and sis a gift, as their birthdays are this week. I'll also have to get Mom a belated birthday gift, hers was in January.

Meantime, I have a contest bracket to make this weekend with the 64 characters from the Metal Gear series, so I can get that up and running by Wednesday. But for now, a shower. Shower would be nice.
