Whatcha doing this weekend?

[bluerabbit]

So it's July 4th weekend and I will be staying at home and doing work. Most of my friends are at AX anyway. But what are you guys (Americans and non-Americans alike) doing this weekend? Any barbeques or picnics? Who's going to watch fireworks? I want to live vicariously! XD

Also, if you're in the Berkeley area (pointedly looks at troisroyaumes, the Berkeley Marina July 4th events are fun. If went last year and am sad I missed the dragon boats and my brother and I didn't stick around for the fireworks (too bad). I did get to see an awesome tiger bike while walking over the overpass, though (no buses after 6:30 but they block off the freeway overpass so you can walk back . . . it's a pretty easy walk)! There was a tail on the back that moved back and forth and everything! (I actually recently saw it in North Berkeley parked on the sidewalk as I was on my way back from Safeway. <3)

I will be at home, reading, maybe writing, and eating BBQ & grilled corn! XD

Heh, well, we have tickets to a concert this evening and to the opera on Thursday, and S.'s friend is having a BBQ on the afternoon of the 4th. The only problem is that I need to get x amount of work done this weekend as well, so I think I'm probably going to be spending the evening of the 4th in lab. Yes, I know, I know, that's pretty pathetic, but unfortunately, I need to have something to say for myself at lab meeting on Monday... ^^;

Alas, I cannot offer good vicarious weekending for you. Our fireworks day was Wednesday, and I didn't leave the house (and was only awake for eleven hours or so) and this weekend will probably involve me sitting in my office, trying and failing to write for what feels like the billionth weekend.

But, uh, I had hazelnut chocolate mousse tonight. It was tasty.
