'Sleeper'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
a British actress who worked on the director’s 1986 film Pirates has come forward to accuse him of sexually abusing her when she was 16. Earlier today, Charlotte Lewis held a press conference with her attorney, the ubiquitous Gloria Allred, and made the charges public, saying Polanski had “forced himself upon” her in his apartment in Paris and abused her “in the worst possible way.”
What are people doing this weekend?
I have two parties this weekend! One tonight, and one tomorrow!
The only problem with the party tonight is that I don't want to go all the way home before I leave for the party, so I'm kind of hanging around at work right now.
I ... good lord, I don't have any plans for this weekend! Other than writing and working on organizing the newly-cleaned storage room. Maybe I'll sew a skirt.
Saturday we have movies with friends and Sunday, Brother-in-Law comes for a visit! We are meeting SiL at Roscoe's for a chicken-and-waffle feast while we plan the celebration for Parents-In-Law 50th anniversary in a couple of months. Right now, the plan is a big family dinner, plus giving them a luxury cruise to Alaska so Dad in Law can visit the one state he has never been to.
I think I might try making orange marmalade this weekend, because I've got 12 oranges that I need to do something with soon.
I'm volunteering tomorrow afternoon (putting up shelves in a new warehouse for an org that redistributes office supplies, I think), going out for Ethiopian tomorrow night, and otherwise getting a mani-pedi, going to the library, and possibly shopping for a sweater to go over some dresses. Tonight I am making a dent in the DVR...
Reading articles for next Thursday's class, cleaning tomorrow and maybe going to the farmer's market (if it's open), and seeing my dad on Sunday--he's bringing his pictures from his recent Southwest trip (he spent three weeks driving around UT, AZ, NM, CO, NV, and CA, hitting as many national parks as he could).
Oh yeah, the boring stuff for this weekend is cleaning, laundry, dying my roots.
Whoa. Freaky thunder. My apartment shook. (Seven years living here, and I still think "terrorists" rather than "thunder" when that happens.)
