Today was the day I work for nine hours, three in the morning and six in the afternoon/evening. Not too bad, normally, except that it's very draining to go from one job to the next, especially on a Saturday when work is usually SSSSSLLLLLLOOOOW ( Read more... )

Hi everyone. Yes, I am still alive, aren't you all happy to know that? I fell off the face of the earth for a while (as far as lj is concerned) because of a whirlwind of visitors ( Read more... )

Ben and I went to see [The Chronicals of Narnia: Prince Caspian] today, and it was just as awesome as I had hoped. I haven't read the book in a long time, so I can't say one way or another how well it measured up, but the first movie did a darn good job, so I'm going to hazard a guess that this one did too. The nice thing about books the size of ( Read more... )

Just introduced Ben to Shakespeare in Love, which is one of my favorite movies. It's an excellent movie, with a whole cast of brilliant actors and actresses, but as a theatre person, it also takes on a whole other level of meaning, and is completely awesome ( Read more... )

Last night was the first big Art Hop in a couple of months. It was the May Hop, which is also the Park Trades Hop. I'm sure I've mentioned the Park Trades building before, but for those of you just tuning in, the Park Trades building used to be the Kalamazoo Saniwax Factory, which made wax paper 100 years ago in Kalamazoo. About thirty years ago ( Read more... )

It is my opinion that a day which starts with learning to replace my own brakes (and saving $200+) and ends with a silly girly movie (The Nanny Diaries), with possibly breaks in the middle for... "time" with the boyfriend are pretty damned good days. Even though work was horribly long, for all that I only worked four hours (we were SOOOO dead, ( Read more... )

Ben and I just finished watching Hairspray, which is a great film. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it ( Read more... )

Last night Ben showed me this comic. Then we went to see this movie. I think you have your movie, Mr. Munroe. *laughs* (Randall Munroe writes XKCD, if you didn't know.)

So, obviously, Ben and I went to see Shoot 'Em Up this evening with the free movie tickets and combo meal that we "won" for going to see movies at this one theater WAY too ( Read more... )

I see a bunch of movies, and like to tell people what I thought of them, so I thought I'd use my blog as a forum for my opinions. We'll see how it goes. ^_^

Ben and I went to see Super Bad yesterday, which was okay. I'd give it three, maybe three and a half stars out of five. People are billing it as the "American Pie" for this generation, ( Read more... )

I'm sure I should have said this sooner, but the recent spate of storms and power outages missed us. Power flickered five or six times Thursday night (the night it stormed the hardest), but we never lost power for long ( Read more... )
