So it turns out my AT&T plan includes all of North America now, which means unlimited internets here at the cabin!

As a precaution, I've deleted everything fun from my phone (all games and social media) so I wont be tempted to dive back into real life while I'm here on my annual modernity detox. But I haven't deleted Chrome so I can still keep up here.

I endorse the excluding everything but Buffistas plan.

We went to see Crazy Rich Asians at the charming local theater last night. Was disappointed. It could be that it just didn't live up to my expectations. Various performances were excellent, but some parts were just too OTT for me.

ION, my fingers are chilly. Not quite 70 in here today and looks like it will be chilly for a couple more days. Getting some use out of the heavy clothes.

Hi Jess! Glad we made the cut.

I feel like I ought to see Crazy Rich Asians but I kind of hate the title and rom-coms just don't get me in to the theater these days. I'm sure I'll watch it on a small screen eventually and probably like it.

Which train of thought got me to Fandango because it is cheap movie day, after all, which got me an ad for Cache Creek featuring Jim Belushi and that is just cracking me up...he's the "the dictionary defines..." of comedians!

It's not like a Great Film or anything, but I would say it's an enjoyable OTT rom-com. With a setting like nothing I've seen before!

The rehearsal and wedding went well

I saw some pictures you were tagged in on FB -- that dress looked so good on you!

Aw, thanks! The BIDs were all over me this weekend, so it's nice to hear another perspective.

OMG, Hil, that sounds crazy frustrating.

For those who need an adorable kitty break, I posted a short video of Miss Erzabet No Biting over on FB.

Oh, I missed it. I know what my entertainment will be on my next break!

Meanwhile, at work: I was assigned cataloging items in Persian and in Judeo-Persian. I know neither. And I have questions.

Wow, that's...wow. At least...it's an interesting learning opportunity? Yeah, that's all I've got.

Border collies are awesome: [link]

I have my last supply chain mgmt class today

Which I read as 'uppity chain mail class' and wondered, ...why? what? why?

It's too early for a nap, right?

Border collies are indeed awesome. Not as pets, though. Someone once said the best toy for a border collie is a farm. And also, most dogs need jobs, border collies need a career.

OMG, that dog!!

I posted this in Literary, but I wanted to make sure as many people as possible saw it. N.K. Jemisin's Hugo Award acceptance speech.

I would rather be in an uppity chain mail class! That sounds fascinating!

Aw, that dog is great!
