January 2, 2008 report
Today I feel: Sad that my computer isn’t fixed yet. Very frustrated that the TechShop hasn’t fixed the embroidery machine or serger yet. C’mon, it’s been 2 months already!
Today I’m doing: Laundry (in theory), shredding the big pile o’ documents from 7 years ago and before. Sorting through the pile on my desk.
TV I’m watching: I’ve been watching assorted archived shows on the TV as I sew the dolls I’m working on: CSI, Iron Chef America, Dirty Jobs, Hello Restaurant, NHK News. At some point I’ll run out and start watching old Survivor episodes whether Keith wants me to or not.
The latest movie I saw: The Golden Compass. I really liked it. It had good action, a steady plot. Yes, the story seems fantasy adventure formulaic, but how many stories are there anyway? 17, I think. It did make me think that there have been a number of movies lately where the theme is the resistance to authoritarian systems of rule. V for Vendetta, for example. It may well be my own personal perception, however. Science fiction and fantasy are rife with this theme.
One thing from last year I didn’t blog about: I went to Kauai, Hawaii last summer with Keith.
I love Facebook. I’ve been preferring to use that to connect to people rather than this blog, but I’ll endeavor to return to this. The blog will probably remain formulaic to ease the process. Come befriend me on Facebook.
