dinner guests friday night, saturday morning i slept in, then rushed off to see the girl with the pearl earings with talk cinema, then dinner with my parents, and after that i finally saw the pianist. sunday morning i did laundry then conducted 3 college interviews for my alma mater (it's early decision season and i am co-in charge of coordinating the local interviews of applicants), then came home, had dinner, then joined our neighbors in watching the fellowship of the rings (or most of it, it got too late, so we will finish it tonight). after that, i went to bed, realizing that i never got around to much of what i planned to do this weekend: review my arabic, finish my book, decide where to hang up those persian miniatures i hauled back from uzbekistan, read the newspaper, and yes, blog.
i did find time to call sarah to plan when i will see her when she is in town this week. while we did not manage to come up with a plan, we did establish that i will kick her ass in some boardgame at some date this week (she's been bragging for the past year about her alleged victory over me in kahuna). sarah also said that she wants to sit through all of my uzbek photos, god help her.
