1. Fabulous family dinner with just the five of us last night - I can't remember the last time just the five of us sat down for a home-cooked meal. Nostalgia is so tasty. It's sad, though, to see my parents empty-nesting. My brother, despite being extremely busy, managed to find time this past week to video tape some 8 mm film my mother's father had dating back to 1962. He set it to music. The most adorable thing is that my mother looked like an adult even at age 10.
2. Fabulous outing to Red Line on Saturday night. I organized a micro-posse of my friends to go out to Red Line in Harvard Square (which reminds me that I have to publish an old song about Red Line from about a month ago - will try to get that up tomorrow!), which has the best DJ ever on Saturday nights. He will play whatever you want, including deep hip hop cuts from the underground. Very cool. We had a great time dancing like idiots. I was trashed from 1.5 chocolate martinis, both which I spilled.
3. Fabulous field trip to the Museum of Science on Wednesday. I took, gasp, an actual vacation day and we checked out the Lord of the Rings Exhibit. The only bad thing was that I basically knew everything from watching 47 million hours of bonus behind-the-scences WETA workshop footage on the DVDs. It was still cool to see The Ring, hold a replica of Aragorn's sword, and get our photos taken in forced perspective (see below).
