Weekend update.

It was not an exciting weekend, but much was done. I actually managed to adjust all the clocks on the 'Wall of clocks'. By doing so, I ensure the space-time continuum remains intact. At least until one of the cats picks it up and starts batting it around the apartment.

The ultra gusty howling winds kept me indoors most of the weekend. It not fun to be outside for very long when the average gust can toss you about 20 yards and tree branches are falling at assorted intervals. I figured between this and the rain Saturday morning that this was a good weekend to clean the apartment. So I did. Feel much better for having done so, this place was kinda going to shit. That in turn was depressing the heck out of me, which made me not want to do anything..like clean the damn place up.

I took a walk around Saturday night since a) I'm alone in life and have nothing better to do and b) Its fun to see people running around the neighborhood in costume trying to get to the grown-up Halloween parties. I sorta got invited to one..I think, but I kind of forgot this was the last weekend of October. I'm an idiot. So much for being sociable.

Anyway, watching people scramble in costumes from illegal parking spaces to assorted party locations is very amusing when the average windspeed is about 60 knots. Those cute Cupid wings become sailplanes for skinny girls and poor airdams for the fat guys. There were few evidences of the alleged trend towards sexier costumes this year. I think this might be because harlot costumes can get a bit cold.

My walk took me past the infamous Eastern State Prison which every year becomes a haunted house. Frankford avenue was clogged with cars and people. It never, ever is this crowded, even on July 4th. So seeing this kind of mob was quite disconcerting.

Anyway, Sunday was dull. Did more cleaning, and ripped my last contact lens. So I am reduced to wearing my glasses until the new contacts come in. I really hate wearing these things. They don't fit well, they cause glare, and I think they are giving me headaches. They are also rather unstylish since I think I got them almost 15 years ago. I don't want to spend the beaucoup bucks to replace since times like these are the only time I wear them..and when I do some reading before bedtime. Seems a waste to spend money that way.

End report.
