It's been a moderately productive weekend. I did go see Jurassic World: Dominion on Saturday, and it was...fine? It suffers from the same problems all the Jurassic World films do, though: trying to say smart things without also having Michael Crichton behind the script. That said, I went to see dinosaurs eating people, and not nearly enough people ( Read more... )

Taking a break from reading about how other states are fucking over poor people to post something good: Caitlin Moran's posthumous advice to her daughter (although she's still very much alive). You should read the whole thing, but these are my favorite bits ( Read more... )

So, new Leverage tonight! I do love that show very, very much. Tyson is coming over, and I'm making quesadillas with the leftover London Broil and such. Should be tasty; I do enjoy quesadillas ( Read more... )

I finished my reading for Criminal Procedure for next week. I think that class is going to be fairly easy, just because I've already had quite a bit of exposure to the subject matter through my job. I didn't really want to finish it today, but this way I can do absolutely nothing tomorrow, and that was my goal. We also went grocery shopping and ( Read more... )

I really like this movie. I turned on VH1 for some mindless TV just in time to catch the beginning. I think I've seen the whole thing, but never all the way through in one sitting. I'm enjoying it, particularly the part where I can be online and watch TV at the same time ( Read more... )

What I learned in Administrative Law today: I can skim the assignment and still answer all the questions that the prof asks me, which means I'm going to be skimming for the rest of this class. Go me. Also, that cooking smoked whitefish at more than 180 F will destroy the fish and that's a bad thing ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a better day. I found out that my student loan money had been disbursed, so I can look forward to getting that check, my new laptop has shipped and will be here Friday, and I got everything from the messy weekend worked out. It's really too bad that while everything is back on track, I don't feel quite that way. Right now I'm ( Read more... )

I was a busy beaver today. I had work in the morning, class, then went to the bank to cash/deposit my paycheck (whee!), studied at Barnes and Noble (didn't get out of there without books), went to Sam's to get food items, came home, worked out, had to figure out why our internet no longer worked, and then finally was able to get online. The last ( Read more... )

I got up this morning in the best mood. I slept really good, had no anxiety dreams, and managed to sleep late. And then, sadly, I found out that my brand-new, beautiful coffee pot had died. Thankfully, I had kept the old one, and I was able to have coffed, but now there's no timer and a smaller pot, and I had gotten used to the bigger, thermal ( Read more... )
