Lily is amazingly gorgeous.

Pre-Annabel I did three loads of laundry once a week. Now it's twice a week, and averages four loads per cycle.

Help! Firefox isn't recognizing keyboard input! I thought it just wasn't letting me scroll with it, which isn't a big deal, but it turns out I can't type into the posting box (I'm typing this in Word to paste into the box). Anybody know anything about this?

Also, mmm, chili. I can't complain – just had leftover scones with clotted cream and raspberry jam. Still, chili...

Oh, now you're taking input. I see how you are. Crisis over, apparently, but... how weird?

Lillian is indeed a beautiful child.

so I've been doing my own since I was about 11.

Oh good. Now I don't feel bad for making the boys do theirs. I do the whites though because otherwise their socks would stay black.

Emily, I've found that closing and reloading Firefox works most of the time for that

Oy. World Series or no, I'd hate to be sitting in a stadium tonight. We're getting hail right now.

I do laundry every two weeks. Usually 2 loads ($5), though it expands to 3 during the winter or if I decide it is time to launder the comforter or futon cover. There are some items I have no problem with wearing twice, considering they only get worn for 9 hours while I sit on my ass and are put on a clean body. I have an appalling amount of clothes I don't or can't wear. Need to go through and goodwill a bunch of it. Maybe next weekend.

In my quest to actually get out and Do Something, I went and saw Good Night and Good Luck. Audience demographic was interesting. There were probably 3 people under 60, and all manner of canes, walkers and wheelchairs. Partly the neighborhood, partly the subject, I'd guess.

Wow, Sarameg. I went to see that last night, in the theater just up the block from the coffeeshop where I'm sitting. The crowd was mostly 30s-50s white East Bay lefties.

When Murrow makes his big speech in the beginning, there were cheers and clapping in the audience. Yeah, we're not critical of the mass media here.

I thought it was an interesting movie, but not a brilliant one. Not enough drama to it, and the pacing was odd. Still, such a good cast.

Book is bound!

Unbelievable amounts of housework to be done. DONT WANNA.

C'mon Allyson start cleaning, everyone is doing it. you'll be one of the cool kids.

The getting dark early thing is really starting to affect me. I feel like I should be going to bed soon.

Dinner has been ordered, now to get a few more things done.

I saw it today too, and the crowd was totally representative of my neighborhood (half people exactly like me, half Jewish/Italian senior citizens).

I loved every second of it. I don't know if "brilliant" is the right word, but I loved that they didn't fuck with the story. They just told it. It wasn't shoehorned into a three-act screenplay with a big emotional climax scene, there was not one flashy or false moment in the entire film. It was practically a documentary, what with half of it being either footage or quoted from transcripts. And I loved that they let the story stand on its own that way.
