I don't have a specific topic for this entry, just general catching up and making plans -most of which will never come to fruition, knowing me, but it's nice to dream. It's what my mother calls "building castles in Spain." I seem to recall that has a historical origin somewhere... hang on, I'm going to go look it up. Okay, I'm back (not that you ( Read more... )

I'm back, safe but tired. Am watching Die Hard. Am beginning to think that I'll never be able to watch this kind of movie again. Fresh out of my dispatcher course, complete with a section on hostage taking, the movie is making me grind my teeth ( Read more... )

After a day of running errands, I treated myself to Up!. As usual, Pixar did not disappoint. It treated a difficult subject with delicacy and whimsy and a great deal of respect. I cried a lot (S.O.P. with me and Pixar films), and laughed even more. It was lovely, and in spite of my misgivings, much like the ones I had before going to see WALL*E, I ( Read more... )

Another busy week ahead of me. I have work, the gym, the dentist, a hairdresser's appointment (my hair is falling in my eyes and I can't see!) and a whole bunch of errands that I didn't get to this weekend. I have tcaptain and maya_banana's wedding this weekend for which I must be ready. Most of this week I'll be working evening shift, but today I switched with Lanky ( Read more... )

Went to see Watchmen with a bunch of people last night. Time for LJ-user sightings! There was jteethy, karine, adamofeden, luvenditti, toughlovemuse, chibipunkdemon and Phil-who-hasn't-got-an-LJ. It was really nice seeing all my friends, many of whom I hadn't seen since Capricornucopia on January 10th. Eesh. Where does the time go ( Read more... )

I made it through the longest night, and then realized that I had to do my Christmas shopping. Went out and did that, and then treated myself to a showing of Quantum of Solace which was both better and worse than the last Bond movie ( Read more... )

Two hours of snowshoeing yesterday and I am wrecked. Had a great time with luvenditti and fearsclave. The Wuh-Mun wasn't home from her trip yet, and I was sad to have missed her, but her sistern Karen was visiting with her two Siamese cats (they're a mix of chocolate flame point and, erm, I forget the other), so I bonded with all three. 'Twas very pleasant. We ( Read more... )
