Weekend Wrap-up

I spent the vast majority of Friday night and Saturday working on my secret project, and reached my first milestone. At this point, all the features are there but you can't really do anything with it (see also, wireless laptops in Montana). I'll probably go public tomorrow, which has the added bonus of using up a Tuesday post, since I didn't get a chance to write any Museday excerpts this weekend.

On Saturday night, we drove to the home of one of Rebecca's coworkers for a late St. Patrick's Day party. It was even closer than Arlington, a surprising concept since the party took place in Maryland. We ate snacks on green napkins and watched an endless montage of artistically bad music videos that accompany the text on Karaoke CDs.

Sunday opened with a giant sesame seed bagel with cream cheese, since toasted sesame seeds have a very appetizing smell (even if they just digest like corn in the long run). In the afternoon, we did some more test driving at a dealership in Tysons. We encountered the least effective salesman of all time and she will not be getting any of our yuppy money for her lack of efforts.

We then drove to Lake Anne in Reston to admire all of the shops and restaurants that have closed down since our last visit, and picked up some Boston Market for dinner on the way home.

Happy Spring!
