I had such a fantastic weekend. Friday night I got together with lildomino after work, and she made dinner. After enjoying crock-pot pork goodness, we headed back to my place to hot tub and snuggle. Saturday we got up early to try to catch a movie with elbanditorojo, but somehow we managed to miss him, even though we were at the right theatre and film – apparently they had two different early matinees at the same time, so we watched the same thing at the same instance but lildomino and I were in theatre one and elbanditorojo was in theatre seven. Ah, well.

After the movie lildomino and I had breakfast at Denny’s, and then I headed to icespark’s to get ready for the Indianapolis Masquerade Ball. The dinner beforehand was good and the company even better (a very entertaining party of six wound up at our table), and the bands that playing during the ball itself were first-rate. After the ball, a couple of fire dancers performed, and that (besides dancing with icespark) was the highlight of the evening for me. I got a couple of cool time-delay pictures of the show -- maybe if I remember I’ll post a few when I get them off my camera.

Sunday lemur_lady came up to visit, and took me out for sushi to make up for the fact that she’d had to cancel me for Gaelic Storm on Thursday because of her work. Any excuse to have yummy sushi is fine with me, so we went to Naked Chopstix. It was crazy busy and took forever, but they made up for it by giving us a free appetizer and me free cinnamon ginger coolers. After dinner we were going to go to Borders, but when we drove past it was closed, so we just went to my apartment and snuggled while we watched The Venture Bros. and lemur_lady knitted.

I had a great time every night this weekend, and got a chance to talk with lildomino, icespark, and lemur_lady about a lot of issues floating around in my life, and get very good advice. Things seem to be improving in my relationships with both lildomino and icespark, and I even got to talk to lemur_lady about a few of my minor insecurities with her.

Tonight I’m going to MUX and work out plans for hotarugirl’s birthday get-together this weekend, so if all goes well I’ll have a pleasant and productive evening to start off what I hope to be an excellent week.
