Watched The Princess and the Frog this evening. Musical numbers didn't move me much; must be getting old, I guess. Still, it was sweet and fun, even if I spent the entire movie grumbling under my breath that ( spoiler alert! )

Saw Drag Me To Hell last night which ( spoilery reaction to the movie )

To give you a sense of how little practical work I did over the last year, have a look at the movies and television shows I watched in 2009. I've only included TV shows where I've completed the majority of the season in the last year, though a couple of those seasons were started back in 2008.

For the first time in I don't know when, I actually felt confident and comfortable at work today. I'm not sure why; the workload was lighter than usual, sure, but only a crazy person would find it manageable.
