I had plans to go see the VT-Duke this past weekend, but I totally bailed when Ivan came up from the Gulf of Mexico and took dead aim at southwestern Virginia. So what happened then? A beautifully sunny day in Blacksburg, of course.
Well, to be fair, the drive over on Friday evening might have doomed me as there were a plethora of tornadoes all over the state and the weather was just downright nasty. It seems Ivan sped up and hurried across the state a little early, which made for a very nice game day.
Oh well. At least I got to watch the game with Bucky, and Monica and I were able to run some errands, as well as look at some futons (of which were planning on putting in the office). And we all had a kick-butt sushi dinner; I think we found our sushi place here.
On Sunday, I watched NFL while getting some much needed painting done. I hooked up a spare television in the garage, which enabled me to paint and watch at the same time. Awesome.
Of course, this was after I had to fix a leaky toilet. After a trip to Home Depot, I determined the mechanism inside the tank was put together improperly.
So to sum up, I missed a good Hokie win in person, but I was able to watch it on TV, then we had great sushi, then I got a lot of house-work done. Not a bad weekend after all.
