I was up late last night, so I finally wandered out to the living room just before noon, pulled open the blinds to get some light in the room, and then boggled at the snow piled up on the tree branches. Certainly woke me up.

Oo, but yesterday I did my errands, got my comics, and then saw Orson's Shadow at the Round House in Bethesda, which was really charming and fun. And I was thinking beforehand, it must be hard to play characters that Everyone Knows Already, but the guy playing Welles was particularly fantastic. He even had that amused gleam in his eye that Welles had. The guy playing Olivier was also good, though I was slightly disturbed that he kept reminding me more of John Cleese.

Then I saw Double Indemnity at the AFI theater. And then I ate pancakes! Plus Daniel and I started plotting to go to LA next winter on a real-and-for-true vacation without any pesky work to interfere with our mayhem.

So I had an excellent Saturday.

Today I am going to putter around, do laundry, and eventually I'll do my stupid screentrail. And I will think about clearing the snow off the car, but I'm pretty sure I'd have to put on shoes for that, and I don't wanna.

No word as to whether he was lying then, or lying now.

Heh.

I still have yet to do laundry, and I just almost took a nap. I think the bread is putting me to sleep!

The ice has started, alas.

I'm attempting to make spinach hazelnut burgers. My oven takes forever to heat up. It may be a bust because I'm uncertain of the vintage of the hazelnuts. And before anyone thinks they are healthy, they involved a lot of parmesean. I'm totally making this up as I go, relying on 11 year old taste memory.

I think I have missed something about Sam Waterston... What did he lie about?

I have no done 4 loads of laundry. Go me!

Holy shitballs?

It's from the song!

So when you're happy (Hurray!) or sad (Aw!)
Or frightened (Eeeeeek!) or mad (Rats!)
Or excited (Holy shitballs!) or glad (Hey!)
An interjection starts a sentence right!

I think I have missed something about Sam Waterston... What did he lie about?

If you watch L&O reruns on TNT for any period of time...or really anything on TNT, you see the commercial for Law and Order with Waterston demanding, "Were you lying then, OR ARE YOU LYING NOW?!"

Tom: Hee!

I still have not put in the laundry. Any minute now.....

I am painfully, painfully bored. I am not, however, so bored as to feel up to doing any of the things I ought to do.

I return you now to your entertaining Natter.

It sounds like I am popping popcorn in my dining room. I am not. It is the ice hitting the window. They are calling it ice pellets. How that differentiates from small hail, I do not know. They are about 1.5 mm in diameter.

I am cleaning and doing laundry and messing about. The DH is off at a free class for his digital SLR camera. Nice lazy day, and we're off to friends to watch the Oscars tonight. It is the typical Hollywood glamorous Oscar gathering. Heather and I critique the dresses and watch their two boys play with Star Wars Legos on the floor, as the mens pick up our fine dining at the caterers (Popeye's chicken). We eat, put the kiddoes to bed and then snark like snarkmonsters. Because it is Oscar night, I am planning my party wardrobe--I am torn between the black hoodie and the blue one.
