Weekend

Saturday after work I went to Laura Goode's party at Unnameable Books for her new book Sister Mischief, which she bills as the world's first gay interracial hip-hop love story for teens -- and if we've learned anything last week, the world certainly needs more of those. I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I thoroughly enjoyed the bit that she read aloud, and I'm looking forward to digging into it when I get the chance.

Yesterday I went over to my sister's place and we decided to go in search of a go board (she's been mainlining Hikaru no Go, and I've also been curious about learning the game since I read some HnG back in Japan) and local honey.

We found the go board -- Book-Off for the win, as usual! -- though we struck out on the honey. We played go ridiculously, like two absolute beginners. Then Ticket to Ride, somewhat less ridiculously, although I totally thought I'd connected my route to Boston and I didn't and I was really sad. :(

Now that I think of it, I had to walk from Unnameable Books up to Atlantic because my subway wasn't running, and then I walked to Meaghan's place and back because it's less irritating to walk than to wait for the bus, and no wonder my hips are all achy.

Definitely a good weekend, though a sadly truncated one since I had to work Saturday.
