January 6, 2008 report
Today I feel: Like there’s something I forgot. I was sad yesterday after Dan and Lois left. Weird, I know. I think they were a human representation of being on vacation, which is over.
Today I did: Set up the sewing area in the library now that the ‘rents are gone. Tested and cut epaulets for the dolls. Moved the now-dry short boxes of manga back into the library. Friday morning, Lois and Dan discovered one of the skylights leak. Keith kindly extracated wet comic boxes (only short boxes) and threw a tarp over the others. No comics appear to be damaged. Looked up what alli is on the internet. Scary. It’s like it turns the fats you eat into olestra. Remember olestra? It’s the fat substitute that makes your ass leak oil.
Yesterday I did: We took Keith’s ‘rents to the airport. Dan wanted to eat at IHOP, but the wait was too long, so we went to Specialty’s Bakery and Cafe. I was not impressed. I understand that eggs are not their forté, but even the cinnamon roll was not great. Afterwards, I went home and moped a while at the rain.
TV I’m watching: Eureka. We have a lot of this SciFi channel series saved up, since we often only have one night a week, maybe, that the three of us watch a show together. Before the writers’ strike, we watched Heroes. Now that everything is on hold, we can go back into the TiVo list and watch Eureka this season. We really like Eureka, even when it gets a bit silly.
One thing from last year I didn’t blog about: The Cinequest Film Festival. We had folks from Cinequest on “What’s Up Wit’ That?” and got press passes to cover the event. I saw a lot of great films, including, but not limited to: Outsourced; Blood Car; and Indestructible.
I luv Facebook: The application Flixter does a reasonable job of comparing your movie taste with your friends across a reasonable spectrum. Sadly, most of the people well compatible with my taste are either far away, or awkward to see films with.
