Plans for the weekend: work, work, work. Some time in there I'd like to spend a teensy bit of my newly aquired tax refund.

All three movies must actually exist in our current space/time.

OK thinking...

any progress on that time machine?

Yes. I have successfully sent a hamster into the future.

Well...I think I successfully sent him into the future. Either that or he was completely vaporized.

We'll find out in another fifty-six years.

Poor Eloise.

The movies I most want either aren't out, out of print, or only available in the wrong region:

Last Year at Marienbad (though hopfully the fact that a new print made the rounds means it will be back in print soon)
Four Flies on Gray Velvet (pretty much the only Argento not available except in a really lousy gray market video that I own already)
Fear and Desire (Kubrick's first movie which he made a serious attempt to destroy later on)

hee hee. Although I almost said Galaxy Quest I thought I'd visit my Netflix history and see if there's one I'd forgotten. [24 Hour Party People! I'm surprised I don't already own it] We finally figured out that the trick to staying logged on to Netflix is to make sure we're signed on to my roommate's account when we navigate away from the page. When I clicked back over to his account I saw this message:

Because you enjoyed:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 1

Firefly

Dead Like Me

We think you'll like:

Torchwood: Season 1.

I tried! Maybe he'll pay attention if it's coming from the computer.

Plans for the weekend:

1. Write
2. Figure out what we're going to do for a birthday party for Annabel next month (party will be a few weeks after actual birthday, so we're not really behind on the planning)
3. Relax!
4. Go to Mariners game Monday (counts as weekend because I've got the day off!)

This weekend I am texting my next show. I am also window shopping for studio gear and a new laptop.

Huh. Weekend just got a little less relaxed and a little more houseworky. New landlord is coming by to fix our kitchen sink (the tap has been loose since the pre-purchase inspection 2 months ago, though everything works fine), so I figure we should at least get all the dirty dishes out of the sink and in general make the place look less like a pack of wolves rampaged through it chasing a tornado.

Sigh. I wish I could get myself onto a regular cleaning schedule so I wouldn't have to scramble every time something like this happens, but if I spent all that daily time on housework, when would I write?

This weekend I am texting my next show.

How does that work exactly?

SEAN: alright wheres the gun from act 1???
SHOW: i told u we needed mor foreshadowing
SEAN: brb
SHOW: oh gr8
SHOW: sean cum back my central conflict isnt resolved
SEAN: sorry had 2 get deus ex machina from closet lol
SHOW: thats ok ilu
SEAN: omg i forgot the meta4
SHOW: fux0rz

That reminds me that I need to figure out what e're doing for Owen's birthday in two weeks.

This weekend:

reading
editing
tidying the house
laundry
