So the madre visited on the 18th with her daughter's munchkins. I played Blackjack with them so they could win some foreign coins. And I gave them candy. I remember when the madre would drag me places so I tried to make it worth it for them.
Earth Fair was the 22nd. I got Britt a tomato plant (free from House of Israel) and a rainbow pin. Snagged a free Avengers poster for her co-worker. Bought a couple used books from the library book sale. Loaded up on info materials. Bought a Wonder Woman apron for Britt. Scored a free t-shirt from the public transit people.
I wish there would be more attention paid to population control, but whatever. Plenty of stuff on vegetarianism and recycling and such.
The 26th was Dining Out for Life, so I had an unusually big breakfast - four sides, an Arnold Palmer, and an iced tea.
On the 27th I finally got around to using my prizes from a contest. Took the trolley to a haircut place for my free haircut, but they wanted my phone number just to get a haircut. So I left. Then later I went to McGregor's for Happy Hour and used my gift certificate there. A much better experience than the haircut place. Had potato skins and wine and watched the draft.
The 29th and 30th was Art Walk. Bought a mini painting, a bundle of note cards, and two Dia del Muerte candles. A lot of cool art I couldn't afford. Some good people watching.
Somewhere in there I watched Atlantic City and wasn't impressed. Not a bad film, but I was led to expect awesomeness.
Watched Miss Sloane and wasn't impressed by that one either, but my expectations were lower. I might review it for Film Friday.
Note: I'll try to do these on weekends, when people are off having fun. Probably more negative stuff in future posts. But one can see the title and just skip it.
