I looked on the movie's website, and it says that it's open in "limited release." I'm hoping it'll make it to more screens soon.

Ah, thanks Steph (and Kat, and, yeah, there's always room for one more on the cranky train, amych.)

Well, damn. I hope Philly and surrounding area is one of the select markets. Grr. Just release the flippin' movie.

Guess I'll go see the Lion, Witch, etc. Not what I was planning for today, but it was on the agenda for the week.

I think today is getting colder as the day progresses. It certainly feels colder now than when I left at 10:30.

My house is messy and parts of it dirty. I need to remedy that and then decorate for Christmas.

I totally overestimated the amount of work I would be able to get done today. I have another two hours before my group meeting, and I don't wanna work on my stupid paper any more! Wah wah wah!! At least I have four of 10-12 pages written. Not well, and not in the right places necessarily, but words on the page is a start.

Wah. I guess I'll take a walking break and get something to drink. And then work more.

churn it out Jesse. Think of how nice it will be to be done with it.

Hiya, folks.

I got outed as a Buffista to one of my coworkers at the company party last night. Possibly that second glass of not!champagne (i.e., sparkling wine) was not a good idea. But she's a Pancakeista, apparently, and had put it together a while ago when I recognized the TT interface on her screen and she figured out I liked Buffy (which I've been pretty open about at work). She says she won't rat me out, and I tend to believe her. Still, unsettling, especially since the entire convo took place while cramped on a bus, within close proximity to the VP.

Otherwise I'm doing well--yesterday was my birthday and I spent it at a scavenger hunt and the company party, which included Beach Blanket Babylon, a long-running SF musical revue with fantastic hats, and a pretty good dinner in North Beach. While I was out, my dog ran away but my sister found him, and then came to my house and did my dishes and left me a beautiful bouquet of roses. I love my sister.

Kat, congratulations on finishing your papers!

ita, good luck on the PM stuff--it's such a pain when people don't do what they've committed to. Is it because they have other obligations for people who are more demanding than you? Or are they just blowing you off? I've found that some people really do need more frequent reminders of deadlines and stuff, although I would much rather assume that they'll do what they said by when I said I needed it. And I continue to be frustrated on your behalf by your misbehaving body. It's like it doesn't know you have things you need to do.

I suspect I missed Nilly, so I'll just t wave at Nilly.

Err. Must go finish a story before people start arriving for Buffy-watching.

Happy Birthday +1, 'Suela!!

Wait -- we missed your birthday!

does the abject so sorry we missed your birthday and hope it is the beginning of a great year dance.

( really it is rather strange and uncoordinated looking)

Thank you, Jen and Beth!

Happy Birthday Consuela! Nice of the company to throw a party in your honor. (well, we'll pretend)
