It’s finally a quiet and relaxing day in the tiny province of “me”.<\/p>\n
redmed<\/a> is off in Denmark. Put her on the plane last night around 7:30pm, and then skipped over to capital_l<\/a> and technolope<\/a>‘s place for pizza and conversation. simianpower<\/a> was there, wrapping up his Boston vacation. It’s nice to have friends within reasonable driving distance. I managed to borrow simianpower<\/a> for a couple of nights (Thu and Fri), since we hadn’t seen each other in person in something like two years. It’s also nice to have “old” friends with some history to the friendship. We indulged in a bad movie night, including “Resident Evil, Apocalypse,” “Blade Trinity,” and “Ghost in the Shell 2.”<\/p>\n Saw “The Sith Kick Ass” (or whatever it’s called) yesterday. Nothing to report that doesn’t reiterate what everybody is already saying. It’s the best of the most recent three, it provides a satisfactory back-story for the rest of the series, and the heroic-mythic parts are damn cool. The acting is wretched, and it’s really not even sci-fi. Anakin plays “turning to the dark side” with the “I’m seriously constipated” vibe that seems to pass for acting in some circles, and Padme does well with being pregnant until she decides to start *running* around at term, with twins. I mean, hello? Had they ever even *seen* someone who’s at term with twins?<\/p>\n Spent a couple of hours in the yard this morning. Transplanted a hosta which was being overwhemed by day-lillies, mowed the lawn, and continued the futile game in which I regularly spend an hour tearing out unwanted crab-grass from my flower beds. The radishes are off edible size, the beets are starting to show signs of life, and the peas are climbing. The basil is a lost cause, and I’m off to buy non-craptastic plants after I post this entry. <\/p>\n Right. Off I go then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s finally a quiet and relaxing day in the tiny province of “me”.<\/p>\n redmed is off in Denmark.
