I saw the Crank one too (someone here posted it, right?). Really creative.

My beloved Mac laptop has died, and I'm certain my DH is going to be all common sense and reasonable and tell me that I shouldn't buy another because we don't need it and have this sticky wicket called a budget.

Happy Birthday, Hil!

What are people doing this weekend?

Today is my first furlough Friday, so I'm doing laundry and watching Buffy S3 DVDs ("Consequences" right now). Gym later.

Tonight: nefarious deeds.

Tomorrow: The Boy's family is having a birthday shindig for 3 family members (including The Boy).

Sunday: buying a couch. Probably.

This weekend, I'm going to a rugby game (will arrive for last half hour if it's raining), probably going to a bookstore to flip through cookbooks to get some inspiration for thanksgiving dessert, dry cleaners, etc.

This weekend: SOS (cross-stitch, bookstore, laundry, best of intentions to clean but most likely don't).

Last night, I was watching Part 2 of Nova's show on human evolution. I think I know a bit too much about hominid fossil discoveries, because I was predicting where the show would go next. "Oh, they're almost done with Turkana Boy; Dminisi should be next." And there they were in Georgia. "Hmm, after Dminisi--maybe Flores for the Hobbit?" On the TV, "And 5000 miles away from Georgia is the small island of Flores..."

What are people doing this weekend?

Tomorrow, I'm interviewing a Rice applicant and going to see Javi at Writers with Drinks. I'm also looking for someone to play one free hour of pool with at Albany Bowl since my coupon expires on Sunday. And I'll be mainlining Prisoner episodes.

I am working from home today, thanks to a migraine. There is a VERY strange noise coming from the walls on the garage side of the apartment. I tried to figure out where it was coming from cause it is JUST THAT pitch that is killing my head even more. No clue. I closed as many doors as I could between the noise and my room. I can still hear it.

Before I had a chance to call them, maintenance came by to check the noise and said it is something to do with the plumbing. They are having to rebuild two toilets upstairs. My toilets appear to be ok, but MAN, I hope they get those fixed soon.

My talented and charming husband was quoted in the New York Times today

Yay! Also, New Hope! Love that place.

Last night, a weird thump was heard. The cat Leo and I looked at each other, exactly like "WTF was that?" and both got up at the same time to investigate. It was funny. Thought I'd share. Don't know what the sound was. Leo seemed to think there was a poltergeist in the kitchen cabinet. We do often have a polter-Percy, but it wasn't him. Random noises make me glad I got a security system.

Yes, but is there Blood on the Moon?

(Actually a very cool noir Western with Robert Mitchum and the Music Man.)
