Liberal, lunatic lassie, with mood swings and foot-in-mouth syndrome

A second desk

Posted on | November 12, 2007 | 3 Comments

I’ve started collecting furniture from my friends. That gold chair that everyone loves to hate came from my friend Karen. Then D’s desk is actually one that Julie (the Rev) gave me when she moved from the apartment near Rollins to her place off Ferncreek. Now I have a desk from C. It’s beautiful. She refinished it, and it shines. What makes me happiest is its legs match my other desk, the one D bought for my birthday.  Now I have room for my printer, books, and a place to put my laptop when I’m not working on it. I’ve got both a desktop and a laptop running most of the time. There’s room for everything now.

It took me a long time, but we finally saw the last Harry Potter film.  I think I’ve talked about McMenamins Kennedy School before. It’s walking distance from our house, and when I want a good veggie burger with tater tots covered in crack, I go there. The building also houses a movie theatre. It’s late runs. 310 to Yuma and Harry Potter are playing right now. I was very impressed with the price – 3 bucks per person.  Then we found out that the entire restaurant menu was available for theatre goers. Fantastico! Finally, when we got into the theatre itself, we saw the amazing seating. All of the seats were couches or chairs, spaced nicely, with cute end-tables dotted here and there for good measure. I found a seat with an unobstructed view, and D and I snuggled down for the show. Oh, they also don’t allow anyone under 21 in the movie after 6 (insert happy dance here) and you can buy booze. I’m going to make myself a regular. :) It’s good good stuff.

Today is miserable. The winds are ripping the last of the fall colors off the trees, brutally, I might add. The wind is steady around 2o mph, with gusts up to 40. Chilling rain thwapped me in the face when I ran outside to rescue my plants. I think winter arrived this morning.

I’ve got a lot of work to do, but I keep getting distracted by Puzzle Quest and Heroes. I’m such a dork.

and now, for some linkage:

Am I the only person who doesn’t think that this season’s Heroes has been a problem? Sheesh.

20 films that changed CGI history — I heart Tron!

Liberal is a bad word in politics. And it seems another person’s morals are being questioned because she’s doing what she thinks is right. (or left, in the mind of her detractors) Why is that so fucking wrong?
