Sunday night. I'm tired, but remarkably content. I've had a pretty great weekend: I went to Richmond to visit Rachael, saw Serenity, had tasty beverages at Capital Ale House, bought many dollars worth of CDs and DVDs, and went to a party in Mechanicsville. I've just gotten back from dinner - a tasty (and expensive) meal of halibut with asparagus and fancy musrooms in a truffle butter sauce with a glass of sauvignon blanc. I sat outside because the weather was simply splendid.

On my way back from Richmond, I had a great music and sing-a-long time. I suspect anybody following me or beside me on the road may have been slighly amused by my bouncing and enthusiastic singing. Heheh. The musical choice of the day: Jesus and Mary Chain, Darklands; Doves, The Last Broadcast; Manic Street Preachers, Damon compilation; Strawpeople, Damon compilation. Lots of fun.

I mentioned above that I bought some new CDs and DVDs. Well, I picked up Darklands (this has been very hard for me to track down), The Last Broadcast (finally picked up a legitimate copy), Twilight by the Twilight Singers. On the visual entertainment side I picked up Family Guy: Seasons 1 and 2, Family Guy presents Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy BBC TV series, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy movie, and Sin City. I didn't see Firefly and Arrested Development: Season 2 isn't due out until the 11th of October. Finally, I also picked up an interesting book: The Pet Cookbook, subtitled: "Have Your Best Friend For Dinner." Includes such dishes as Pony and Pepperoni Pizza, Roasted Kittens with Red Wine Sauce, St Bernard Burgers a la Tyrol, and Parrot Pirogue. A total of 22 recipies in all. I'm not sure if I'll ever get a chance to make any of the dishes, Oh well.

Serenity was very enjoyable. I will be seeing it again, with John. It has some surprises and has some really cool parts. But I don't want to put any spoilers here, because, well, I don't know who will read this who hasn't yet seen it. But I do recommend it.

In weekend sports news, Liverpool were handed their arses by Chelsea, 1-4 at Anfield. Very disappointing result, especially considering the fact it was a draw midweek in the Champions Leage game. The Falcons beat the Vikings (30-10). The Braves lost to the Marlins, but have already clinched their playoff place. The Yankees and Red Sox are neck and neck for the AL East.

And now it's time for The Simpsons and updating my accounting programme with my expenditure for the weekend. I shudder to think how much I've blown my budget by. Oh well, all in a good cause.
