jlhYou know, when I come back from a trip it often takes me weeks to unpack my damn bag. But it took Holly only six weeks to unpack her entire house. The last time I saw it was on her move-in day; needless to say the place is much changed due to some coats of paint and the aforementioned unpacking. A lovely, homey place to be. The ride up and back with Dionne was also too much fun, even in the dark and the rain and the traffic. Love those road trips!
Other than just generally sitting around and chatting with Theo, Holly, Josh and Cassie, we also saw Ocean's 12, and I'm on the side of Roger Ebert on this one, rather than Lisa Schwartzbaum. It isn't a spoiler to say that the film is incredibly meta, not only about caper films but also about movie making itself, and you are either having fun on the meta train or you aren't. Also, some of the fun of 11 was meeting these characters; in 12 it's more like wind them up and watch them go. Like Ocean's 11, it will reward repeated viewing, and I must say that I cannot wait until I can get the DVD—we talked about it for hours after we left the theater. Until then I'll have to make do with the top ten list of caper films on ew.com.
School of Rock has been on HBO lately, resurrecting my wish to be the bass player and date the drummer. Like Talking Heads only different.

bhanesidhe did some more chibis. And then maybethemoon put a santa hat on mine! I think it goes well with the eating and drinking, don't you?
Another aside: ELO just never did anything but suck, did they . . .
Some thanks from yesterday. I think today I'm going to be thankful for sleep. I could be thankful for books, or some friends I saw this weekend that I haven't been thankful for yet, but I'm too tired to do either of those things justice. So I'm thankful for days off, when I don't have to get up, and sleeping in a cozy bed with my kitty sleeping next to me.
