Labour Day weekend
Mar. 10th, 2008 11:55 pmI like long weekends. I don't have to feel guilty if I'm not working, and I'm not the only person at home. Even better, when I do get some work done it feels like a bonus. Clearly, the year should be entirely made of weekend. Does anyone else find it a bit ironic that we celebrate "Labour Day" by getting most of the population to stop working, though?
Golgotha was a bit flat. Actually, despite the earliest nightclub arrival in recorded history (10:30pm? What were we thinking?) it was pretty abysmal until at least 12:30am. When there are more goths getting slurpees in the 7-11 than there are in the venue, something is wrong with your nightclub... Still, we had excellent company for the getting-to-the-club part of the night, right up until we managed to lose everyone some time after midnight. I got an SMS from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thekit at 2:30 though, so I assume the rest of the group were hiding in the club somewhere...
While the nightclub part of the evening kinda failed, I got to catch up with some people I haven't seen in months (damien6, thekit, deathbyshinies) and others I haven't seen in years (Julie & Audrey), and bounced around ideas for Crazy Schemes. Is EmoCaptureTM a next-generation version of Motion Capture, or is is a catch-and-release program for My Chemical Romance fans? Will the UtiliCorset be the next underground fashion craze to follow the UtiliKilt ("because what corset-wearers need most, apart from the ability to breathe comfortably, is pockets")? Do all good (or bad) marketing ideas happen after midnight? Who can say?
I've had a very relaxed day today. It's involved lots of sleeping in, curling up with a good book, and having Lon &mousebane over for a game of Dust (in which aeliel demonstrated that she can crush enemies underfoot in world-spanning strategy games with the best of them). Tomorrow is my main chance to get some painting done, before the next heat wave comes and cooks my pigments on the palette again. Once the temperature ramps up, I think I should get to work updating my website...
