vague recap of the recent past

// 2007.08.30 20:24 //

I never did recap the past weekend or the week of the Danskin Triathlon. There were pictures of the triathlon at least. It was very very wet. We had sushi with Eve and Karl at Mashiko last weekend. I have not had sushi in quite a while. We watched Ice Pirates with them afterwards. Now there’s a type of movie that isn’t made anymore. Amanda also had brunch with Nancy and Carrie; I apparently was not invited. She and Carrie went shopping afterwards and brought two tea mugs back home for me. Sweet! I recall us going to Tukwila for various shopping errands, too. Exciting.
I have found the latest version of Movable Type (the weblogging software) to be slightly buggy and annoying, but at least the weblogs are functional now. I stopped uploading pictures to the gallery because I found a bug/undesired quirk in the way my “Life in Pictures” albums are being generated. I need to fix that, but it will take an unknown time.
Amanda has been on nights for the Family Medicine Service. The beginning of the week was rather shocking, as while she got paged occasionally, she did not really have to go in. Last night was pretty harsh, though, and she will be there all night tonight as well.
Amanda finally told one of her fellow residents (Heather) that she was expecting the other day. They were at the hospital for another person’s delivery last Tuesday. Although Amanda was the night float person, Heather wanted to stay because it was her clinic patient, so I picked Amanda up and took her back home. Two other residents arrived afterwards and asked how the laboring patient was, and Heather said something like “she’s fine, but guess who’s pregnant!” Amanda did tell Heather it was OK to tell other people, and I guess Heather wasted no time. At the first year residents’ retreat/picnic at Seward Park the very next day (the other years were also invited), apparently everyone already knew. Funny.
Maybe we should tell our neighbors. I think one might suspect.
In other neighbor news, Julie and Ian got married. Billy and Heather are getting married this weekend.
Amanda has a long weekend. I think she was on Jeopardy this Sunday and Monday, but she said she got someone (Dave?) to cover for her… Jeopardy meaning she has to cover other people in emergencies. She wants to get out of the city and relax (not in another city). I did some investigation, and places on the Olympic Peninsula and Oregon coast are booked solid. It is a holiday weekend after all. Had things been otherwise, we could have gone wine tasting, but obviously that activity is verboten. Amanda was thinking about camping, but I dunno about that.
Miyumi at the gym asked about my training today. I am supposed to be training for a half marathon at the beginning of October in Bellingham, along with others from the gym, but, um, that has not been happening. I still have more than a month, though.
