Catch up

The first of the big weekends is over. For the most part, it was great. Saturday's trip out of town was a lot better than I was expecting, though there was a severe lack of single, attractive females for what was supposed to be a wedding reception, albeit an unorthodox one. Offhand, I can think of only two. One girl, a brunette, might well have been interested, but she was completely mashed, so a conversation never took off despite a few attempts (and by the end of the night, I was none too sober myself). There was a blonde girl there who was a lot more interesting to me, but she seemed to be more interested in chatting to the bride all day than socialising. The brunette was more my typical choice, but the blonde had this funky vibe going on that I like very much in the same vein as V or QC3. It's a pity nothing happened there. Despite that lack of action, I still had a great time catching up with old friends and a few guys from the stag weekend that I thought were good company.

On Sunday, I found myself at a pub quiz which I always find fun. I probably had too much to drink for a Sunday night, but still had time to briefly chat to USHW who's been a bit quiet of late. USHW was asking about the Pretty Blonde situation, but that's still a complete mess. Friday's a work's do though, so who knows? [Optimism alert!]

On Monday night, I met up with a few mates to catch up and have a couple of drinks. The city was dead. In each of the bars were entered, there were three or four small groups at most. Still, it was good to catch up and have a couple of drinks, though I am glad that I can have a fairly early night of it tonight.

There are two fairly big nights this coming weekend and next week I should be back to the gym (though I have been saying that for far too long). I shouldn't have an excuse next week not to go – the hamstrings will have had three or four weeks to heal, so light work on the treadmill and cross trainer is very do-able. Plus, I'll have my new iPod case, which will a lot more suitable for taking my iPod to the gym.

All in all, things are going well. If I could only figure out how to get my wireless network card working in Kubuntu, I'd be a very happy man.
