Anyway, yesterday I spent my birthday moneys. In the morning I went to Borders and actually used some Christmas moneys (in the form of a gift card from Geoffs) to buy Home Movies - Season Four
and Cibo Matto's Stereo Type A
. I was planning on listening to Cibo Matto on the car drive back home, but I discovered to my delight that Home Movies - Season 4 came with an audio CD with most of the musical numbers from the show (excluding the stuff done by TMBG)! I listened to that as well. Much of it is really funny, especially the "Don't Put Marbles in Your Nose" song and others. In the afternoon I created a handout for Carrie's class, and got a call from Joni to do some work on her site. Linnea stopped by for a little while and I actually held baby Eva for a bit. She weighs less than Fantastico!
I put Carrie's handout on a disc and brought it down to the store with her to print it out, but I discovered that I had saved the image files with the wrong setting! So I had to drive back home and fix 'em and then drive back to the store and print them out agin. But I ran into a returned Gretchen, and Steph said I was "good people," so it wasn't a total wash.
From the BF I drove straight to GameStop and bought New Super Mario Bros. Then I swung by Safeway and picked up a grocery list for Carrie that included such stuff as asparagus, cheddar cheese, and brussel sprouts.
In the evening I played much New Super Mario Bros., of course. There wasn't anything on TV to distract me. Carrie called me close to 11:00 to pick her and Laura up 'cause Laura doesn't have a car. So I drove Laura to her house, as is my custom. We played "Don't Put Marbles in Your Nose" for her. Then I took Carrie home. We watched the first disc of Home Movies - Season 4, which was very exciting for us. Now if we watch a different disc each night, we'll be able to get 12 full days out of Home Movies instead of just 9!
