I managed to (finally) complete the art project that included some small pieces to adorn my living room wall, and this is nearly two months after the endeavor originally began. But I only read a couple chapters in Stephen King's The Stand, which puts me still in the first third and not having made much leeway in the novel since beginning it a couple weeks ago.
I cranked out the last ideas for the LASCYPAA skit and got it typed up and emailed out, but I still have to revamp the sign-up charts and figure out the game for the TriState Fun Day that I'm helping coordinate with Sarah.
The big task of the weekend was cleaning out both my hallway and bedroom closets, which I did with great speed, marveling the whole time that I've only been here since the end of January yet still managed to crank out a serious mess in each. I got to spend a little time with my mom (it's Mother's Day weekend, after all), but I didn't spend nearly enough quality time with Mary Louise, who I promised to give my undivided attention to as much as possible over the weekend. I slept in both days, but didn't stay up as late as I intended (and hoped) on either night.
I got a little writing in, but I still have several chapters of Stories from the 318 to crank out, two articles to organize and write for Henry Harbor, and you can see for yourself how great I've been with the blog posts here. Shameful, right?
Still, the weekend was a success. I got to watch the premier of the Rosemary's Baby reboot on NBC, and I was pleasantly surprised to see what the filmmakers have done to bring one of my favorite classic horror novels and films to a new generation of viewers. I finally watched the British anthology film Asylum and I was disappointed in the experience. I'd had such high hopes for this well-spoken-of film. Finally, I get to end the night with the pilot episode of Showtime's new series Penny Dreadful. If it's any good, I suspect I'll either start paying for a Hulu subscription or adding the Showtime network to my cable line-up. The results remain to be seen.
