(Will comment on the much more interesting post below tonight…)
So here I am at work at lunch, mulling over the upcoming weekend.
In the negative column: I won’t be hiking due to the knee. Which currently feels like a massive bruise has formed right at the joint, but I can’t see it due to the massive patch of scraped off skin on top. I don’t want to make it worse, so away from the trail I shall stay.
In the positive column: I’ll be going to the Festival of Books.
In the negative column: I’ll be going alone. All my friends are out of town or busy and, well, part of the suck of being single is you don’t have a ready-made partner for these things.
And that’s my weekend. And while I’ll probably try to do something like a solo picnic with whatever books I pick up at the Festival on Sunday, it just doesn’t quite seem to get the positive column bigger than the negative column, does it?
Damn.

Chicks dig scars.
There’s a positive for you.
And brains.
Another positive.
Now will this picnic involve a turkey sandwich?
Now, men who can cook….. 😉

The Wife and I went to the Festival Of Books last year. She even got her copy of “Teacher Man” autographed. This year we didn’t see anyone on the list that tripped our trigger. I am curious about the comic book section though. Have fun!

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a book festival. This weekend is the annual Arts and Jazz Festival where I am. Two things I love combined in one weekend…I can’t wait!

I’m so jealous you’re going to the Festival of Books. I’m going to be out of town and have to miss it…even though I just found out what it is earlier today. Have fun – and you never know – you might meet a cute (pretty?) bookworm – and have another positive to add to your list. 🙂

I want to go to the Festival of Books! It sounds so much fun.
I’m sure you’ll have loads of fun! And maybe even meet a cutie bookworm! 😉

Just A Girl – Well, yes, it is three positives, but no one’s around this weekend to give them the proper respect!
Homer-Dog – I haven’t been in a couple of years, so I’m going because I kinda miss it. I’ll snap a photo of the comic section if I can.
Gabe – It’s one of those things that I can point to and say “See, LA isn’t what people think it is!” Have fun at your Festival too!
Mel Heth – Well, there’s always next year. Hopefully you’re going out of town for something fun. Somehow, I don’t think the festival is a good pick-up spot, though…
Wendy – It is. Well, if you like books. Thanks!
