Is it the weekend yet? Is it? ‘Cause I am really ready for it to be the weekend. Not that weekend days can’t suck just as badly as weekdays, but they usually don’t … maybe because Lin is home, and if it sucks, at least I’m not dealing with the suckiness alone. There’s much to be said about having company in your misery.

This weekend is extra special though, and I think that’s why I am especially eager for it to start. The Blanton Museum of Art is having its 24 Hour Extremely Grand Opening this weekend. When I say a 24 hour grand opening, I mean … they really are going to have activities going on for 24 hours from 9 pm Saturday until 9 pm Sunday. I want to go, and I am wondering whether or not it is possible to survive at an art museum opening for 24 hours straight.

Oh you know I’d love to ride the bus down there with a pocket full of mad money to spend at the cash bar and snack stands and just live at the museum for 24 hours straight, but I also think people might look at me as being totally insane for doing so. Lin has completely said “No, Orb, you will not be moving into the museum for 24 hours.” I guess I’ll just have to pick a few select time periods and whine like crazy to get him to go with me.

Though eating milk and cookies in a museum in the middle of the night while listening to improv comedy just sounds so … COOL!!!
