I haven't done a weekend report in a while. Mostly because I haven't done anything interesting of late.
This past weekend was a bit different though.
As mentioned in an earlier post, I attended "Marching Thru History" in Chino, CA, on Saturday.
(Photos of the event are up on my Flickr account.)
My old friend Fritz Bronner tipped me off to this event's existence, as he was planning to attend with his horses
and friends. Fritz runs a non-profit organization called the Warhorse Foundation.
Check his website for more info as well as videos and photos.

( Weekend report turned longish, so it's LJ-Snipped )

Sunday was the titular "day of rest". I slept in, then did some grocery restocking at Trader Joe's.
I did some stuff on the computer and watched some Season 1 "Smallville" episodes on DVD.
And I actually saw 2 episodes I had somehow missed! One had to do with bees attacking candidates for the school
president election at Smalville High. It also featured a running gag involving people quoting "The Godfather".
The other one dealt with a doodling kid who lost the use of his hands but gained kick-ass telekinesis.
Just your basic "Freak Of The Week" stuff. :D
Also, I recognized a much-younger Aaron Douglas (aka Chief Tyrol from "Battlecar Angstactica") in one episode.
He was playing a Smallville deputy in an episode where Chloe is kidnapped and Lana can see it in visions.
I wonder who else I might recognize when I start watching Season 2 this week.

And that was the weekend that was. The weather was sunny and crisp, with strong winds. It was delightful.

In other news, that Droid Gunship Lego set I was looking for? Never gonna show up at Toys'R'Us.
I just learned it's a Wal-Mart exclusive, and I hate Wal-Mart.
Guess I'll have to order it from LegoShop.com at some point in the future.

And speaking of Legos, we had a LUGOLA meeting scheduled for that Saturday, and nobody showed up!
Members either had things to do, or were too knackered from the Brickwest convention the weekend previous.
I figured nobody would show up, so I went to "Marching Thru History" instead.
There are plans to have a meeting this Saturday and odds are good I will make it.
