Excellent weekend!
All in all, an excellent weekend!
Saturday got to spend all day out in the shop, knocking out all but the final steps of the current project. Ralph is coming over today to help with those steps, they're tricky and something I've never done before.) In the evening we went over to a party at Brenda's bosses' house, and had a blast. They used to do a lot of staff parties, but those have tapered off. I hope they go back to do doing them.
When we got home, watched a little TV while Brenda cleaned the piggies cage... Oh Brother Where Art Thou, from the scene in the radio station where we first 'meet' the Soggy Bottom Boys to the scene with the Sirens;
Click to viewI wasn't feeling to good Sunday morning, all day at the workbench on Sat (and that bench is too low) plus standing around for hours at the party did a number of my back. So, it was mostly light housework and hanging about.
In the afternoon we met a bunch of folks at the theater to see Hunger Games.
It turned out we were the second shift - as our group was waiting to go in, another whole bunch of our friends was just coming out. :)
Over all, it was pretty a good. A nicely done adaptation, with decent acting and characterization... The art director however should be taken out back and shot. In the first half hour/forty five minutes (up to the start of the Games) he managed to cram in/recycle so many SF visual tropes that it really took away from the movie itself. Afterwards, we all went over to Azteca for dinner and chatter about the movie.
Back home, once again, in time to clean the piggies cage while watching TV and then to bed... Another movie this time - Rear Window, which I've never seen. (And I love Jimmy Stewart!) So, we recorded it on the Tivo to watch later,
