I'm really, really hungry. Normally, I go to lunch around 12:30 or 1ish, whenever my supervisor gets back from hers (we're a bit shortstaffed on admin, we try not to overlap each other too much).

I ( Read more... )

Gah, I just watched Hotel Rwanda, which I've owned on DVD for a while now but hadn't been able to bring myself to watch because I remember how much it destroyed me when I saw it in theaters. Yup, still just as powerful. I remember being furious at the Oscars that year, because it was ten times better than any of the Best Picture nominees but had ( Read more... )

So apparently the bookcases I thought I'd ordered from Ikea were out of stock at the time, so they weren't part of the order. Um. Good to know? But at least I wasn't charged for them ( Read more... )
