How is that possible?
The weekend was wonderful - that extra day to just lounge was what I really needed, so I don't feel too badly about not getting through most of my to-do list.
We saw MOVIES! Stardust in the theatre (SOOO worth paying the ten bucks to sit for two hours) and Keeping Mum on DVD.
( Movie Reviews of Stardust and Keeping Mum )
And Gwen got the first season of Eureka so we can wallow in our t00by geeky love for it! The Sci-fi channel was doing a marathon of "Dead Like Me" all day yesterday, and we saw the last episode and the first episode - How marvelous is the first episode when you *know* what comes next? I almost liked it better knowing everything. And kudos for ending the series properly. 'They' cancel all the wrong shows.
I saw my parents on Sunday - in fact I will be building a couple of things for the gallery. And I was invited to lunch (which is what I get when helping out at the gallery, my parents feed me lunch). Not a bad trade-off. My dad wants me to buy into his latest obsession (golf) and learn how to play so he can share his completely geeky love of the game with me. I am not all that excited about golf, or any other "hit the ball with an implement of d00m" kind of game. Now, if he was talking archery, I would be the first one in line.
My mother's eleven tomato plants are bringing in bountiful harvest, and I helped "prep" a few of them for sauce (say, 20 or 25). And she still had a counter full of them left untouched. We also hem-ripped the curtains she bought so she can fit them to the windows she bought them for.
Note to self (and Gwen): they saw "The History Boys" and highly recommend it. Something for the Netflix queue?
