Jesus Christ threw up the horns?

The Arlington Cinema 'N' Drafthouse is hosting a 20th anniversary screening of "Heavy Metal Parking Lot". Sadly for me, it's at 7:00 tonight and I've got so much to do that I probably can't make it.

In a better mood today, not that it was really possible to be in a worse mood than yesterday. Not looking forward to heading home and spending all night cleaning the house instead of hanging out drinking beer and watching Judas Priest fans tailgating in the Capital Centre parking lot, but that's what I get for spending a good chunk of last weekend going to the Crucible and playing Lego Star Wars instead of cleaning. Ah well, I needed to do the former instead of the latter because it kept me from the meltdown I was on the edge of having all weekend. Dinner plans:

* Turkey, of course. Can the kitchen fairy come replace my crappy 20-year-old oven with one of these in the next 20 hours or so please? I'd be ever so grateful.
* Roasted apple orzo [Edited edit: No go on this. Damn, I was really craving it too. =/]
* Red cabbage, cranberry and apple slaw with vinaigrette
* Mashed potatoes (one batch with crab meat based on something we had at McCormick & Schmick, one batch plain)
* Dressing (one batch of nminusone's chipotle-sausage dressing, one non-spicy)
* Garlic-roasted green beans
* Cranberry relish
* White and multigrain dinner rolls
* Enough pie (at last report: pumpkin, pecan, key lime and Snickers) to give everyone at dinner nearly half a pie each. XD

As tempted as I was, I'm not going to just give everyone a Jones Soda holiday pack instead. ;) Is it so terrible that I'm actually curious about the sweet potato flavor?
