Things that happened
1) Finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows last night. Good book; some last-minute twisty twists, but no real shockers.
2) Also last night, watched the Flash Gordon pilot on Sci-Fi. Terrible, awful, wretched stuff. I'll watch next week. (Hey, you can't always tell with a pilot.)
3) Bought a new Chicago Bears baseball cap and T-shirt, which arrived today. Go Bears!
4) Bears beat the Texans in the first preseason game on Saturday, in what was, for preseason, a semi-thrilling come-from-behind victory. Go Bears!
5) Shady is feeling much better, and spent most of the weekend crawling around on my head and shoulders, helping me read.
6) All three kitties are now eating Natural Balance Reduced Calorie Cat Food by Dick Van Patten, as recommended by my dad. (I found it at the PetCo near where I work.) The ingredients list on this stuff is better than what I feed myself! Brown rice, duck, potatoes, lamb, dried cranberries (?!), etc. None of them turned their nose up at it and it seems to satisfy in smaller quantities than the Purina ONE they were eating before. Good thing, as it is about 50% more expensive, too.
7) My dad (a.k.a. stuckinthe60s) borrowed my electric guitar and amp last week, to prepare for an audition to join this band yesterday. I should hear about how that went this Sunday, when we get together for my brother-in-law chipb0i's birthday at The Cheesecake Factory.
8) Saw Mulholland Dr. with flybrain, her fellow Science Girl Liza, misskaz, and wurdsome on Saturday night. A good flick, although I have not yet been able to coalesce my reactions into seventeen syllables. We'll see what happens. :)
