This was the lowest key christmas in my life. I slept in, I had breakfast, played on the computer, walked to South Keys to see the National Treasure sequel (as stupid, and as entertaining as the first, I liked it), walked home, had some supper, watched 3:10 to Yuma (good film)….and that’s about it.
I’m not […]
Amidst other errands, I went office chair shopping today. I am still looking for what store will have a good selection of these. Normally I’d think Staples, but at least right now, they hardly have anything. Anyways, I tried the business surplus on Industrial rd., which has quite a number of used chairs. I was […]
Bought a trackball mouse today.
Unplugged it after 60 seconds. Bleah! Some people swear by them. I wanted to try it because I can sometimes a bit of a soreness in my wrist after mousing for too long…but that is not my solution (it’s not a big deal, if I take breaks, it’s not really an […]
I went to a solstice party last night (Friday night). This basically consisted of staying up all night, having fun in general, and making an attempt to still be awake when the sun rose. I almost succeeded. I think I drifted off briefly (like 5 or 10 minutes) once or twice right at the end….whatever. […]
Who wants to go see Sweeney Todd next week? I know…it’s xmas week and all that. I for one have various plans in the xmas season, but not really xmas day itself, and I am all over a matinee on the 24th or 25th.
I might suggest 23rd, but I am not 100% clear when […]
Are you offended? Are you disturbed?
This is the movie poster for a documentary on the treatment of prisoners in Iraq and Guantanemo. This poster was rejected by the MPAA as unsuitable for general audiences. Why? The prisoner in the middle has a hood over his head. Apparently….that’s the reason.
Want to see some posters they […]
Had my last rehearsal of this year…may I just say the opening scene for the show is LONG. We still haven’t covered the whole thing after 3 rehearsals (almost though).
Getting home, some jackass parked their van almost diagonally in the driveway, meaning I didn’t even have room to pull in. I decided to carve out […]
I need a time turner.
There are 2 parties on the 28th. I really want to go to both. They are not in the same city. I hate having to pick one.
*grumble*
The plow came. Accordingly, at 11:30 at night, I went out to clear more snow off that driveway than ever before. There is now an embankment that comes up to about mid-chest level on me. The house across the street has a pile taller than I am.
In a moment of inspiration, I took my shovel […]
Holy smokes.
It’s snowing.
This is insane. In a bout of possible insanity, I went out to the west end to kattale’s annual waffle brunch. It was blustery, and there was snow….but heck, it was driveable if you were careful. Waffles were absolutely yummy, and I pretended not to notice the snow was getting worse. While leaving, […]
