Random stuff from last week:
-at work ended up in our extended storage area and the people who run it are also doing some work for Jim Henson and guess what was out on the shelf? The original Bert and Ernie!!! So cool!!! I wish we had been able to poke around the boxes but no luck.
-went to my first ever modern dance class with J. Thursday. A lot of fun, but a challenge. The stretching and warm-up were great. The choreography went pretty fast but I faked it and had a good time.
-spent my first weekend in two months at home with Denis. It was nice to just have a quiet restful couple of days. (Bonus he made delicious potato and leek soup (with spinach and bacon) that we have been devouring all weekend.)
-thoughts on some random books: Really liked Omnivore's Dilemma highly recommend it, made me feel awesome about my CSA membership (especially after last week's delicious peaches). I finally finished Blindsight by Peter Watts. It was excellent, harder sci-fi than I usually read, but really interesting characters and great aliens.
-and movies: Silent Hill was better than I expected (good imagery if you ignore the "plot"), Shopgirl was worse than I expected (Lost in Translation without the chemistry or character development), and The Prestige was just as good as I expected (and I wasn't spoiled, nifty casting Bowie as the Croatian Tesla).
