Friday night went out to eat and then watched Terminator at the movies.

Saturday morning slept late and then saw that the water heater had died. Went to buy new water heater. After that I went to buy a gun for my dad. Bought some leather goods. Watched movie on DVD. While watching the movie I covered my steel scabbard for my basket hilt with snake skin. Looks cool. Washed 2 loads of garb from last weekend.

Sunday slept too late for church. Printed out web pages with contact information for upcoming vacation. Washed clothes. Grilled steaks. Watched bad movie about anorexic sumo wrestler. Watched Black Hawk Down to get previous movie out of my head. Packed garb for upcoming vacation. (Yes, I did plan my vacation around faire.)

Other than that I spent lots of time vegging and even managed a nap.

I've always thought if I wanted to dress-up for an anime convention I'd go steampunk.  I think I may be bordering on too old for it but I love the look.
