Cryptic

I’ve been trying to write this post for a while and since things aren’t coming out the way I want you get a blipvert version.

Curses jw1776 for turning me on to Great Big Sea. Remember to check those expiration dates, kids. Thanks to a tip from poetry_lady for turning me on to Silver Platters. Guess what I’m going to do with my stack of “Silver Certificates” to tomorrow?

lycaenidae and aekajin2 came over to be tempted with food and drink. Baked my first pie which turned out really well. Watched Love Actually (2003) and an episode of Numb3rs while I was busy trying to be discreet and charming. I failed on the first and apparently succeeded on the second.

Spent some quality time with hollyqueen my favorite wife. We’ll have to do that again. shiver

Finished up a few weekend chores like shopping and washing some dishes. Went to see Casino Royale (2006) with intrepid_reason at the Big Picture in Seattle. Daniel Craig makes an excellent Bond and I’m glad the movie is closer to the books than the earlier movies.

Google Maps thinks you can turn left anywhere you like along Aurora Ave. Clearly they are insane.

Had a wonderful time with lycaenidae talking and doing my duty to Browncoats around the world by showing her the first disc of Firefly. Again the night ended too soon as I had to get up for an eye appointment this morning. Went to bed way to late and was to wound up sleep well. I used to be able to do this without batting an eye. Growing old sucks!

Eyes in excellent health and do not need new glasses. Have contacts for occasional use at parties with hot tubs so I won’t be blind. Back at work where I’m still developing a hatred for wireless cards and network providers. Sigh.

And the night before.

I really like "Love Actually." What's better than one happy ending? Nearly all of them.

Max Headroom is one of my all-time fav shows. And I was a Browncoat before the series started.

And I love pie.

Sounds like a lovely weekend.

One of the endings upsets me but the rest more than make up for it.

How were you a Browncoat before the series started?

Pie is a good thing. I want to experiment more with fillings.

It was a very lovely weekend. Thanks!

I want to experiment more with fillings

I BET you do! :)

I'm sure I'm not the only one in the house who does.

I read about the, then, up-coming show in Entertainment Weekly and fell in love before it started. Space, western, Joss Whedon? Say no more.

I made an applesauce pie for Thanksgiving. It tasted exactly like applesauce.

[hollyking.livejournal.com]

Ok, that makes sense.

Was it supposed to taste like applesauce?

[torainfor.livejournal.com]

I didn't know what it was going to taste like; it was an emergency spare pie.

Which ending didn't you like?

Sarah/Karl and Karen/Harry. I wouldn't give up love for my family and he was an idiot to cheat on his wife.

[torainfor.livejournal.com]

The only thing I can think about Sarah was that she did choose the one she loved the most. She had lust bunnies for Karl and it may have grown into love eventually but at that moment, she loved her brother more.

Harry was an idiot and Karen was amazing. It's too bad he had to be an idiot to realize who he loved the most.

I loved how the PM fell in love at first sight to a woman everyone else dismissed.

Go Browncoats!

You HAVE to see Great Big Sea live when they come back to town. I'll gladly drag you along. The B'ys, as they're often known, put on a killer show.

Um, yeah, long time fan, sorry. :p

[hollyking.livejournal.com]

You're not the only one who's told me that. We're going to have to form an raiding party when they come back.

[maida-mac.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a kickass plan. ^_^
