Crammin' it all in

So, shortly after yesterday's post, while I was prepping, Johnbai called to say he and Dingo were on their way back from the east side, having enjoyed The Darjeeling Limited and walked out on All Across the Universe. Of course, Otis and I joined them at 3PB/R for some coffee-an' and stayed out (and up) way too late.

I got up this morning and wondered why BBC was still on the radio after six. Surprise! Our outing had made us forget to turn the clocks back. Sleep-in time! (Sorta.)

Otis had morning appointments so I hied myself to a Tully's and worked from 8:30 until noon.

Then, Johnbai called again, and we met him and O at Bombay Grill for lunch (yummy buffet, but fewer veggie options this time around). After that, it was back to the house for more grading and prepping (interspersed with the latest Donald Westlake for me).

Then dinner and more of the same.

Almost done! But a busy week ahead. Sheesh.

I know that was all terribly exciting, and you are breathless, with the blood racing in your veins, so go ahead and click the picture to view a detailed history of British pedestrian crossings. It'll calm you down.

Blog break

Today has been a work 'n' play day, but it feels like mostly work. I’m just taking a dinner 'n' blog break before jumping back into school work.

Last night, when Otis got home from her writing group, we had dinner and then decided to hit a late movie. Although the bat-signal went out, no one joined us, but that was fine since we had a grand ol’ time at the Crest watching Ratatouille anyway. I gotta tell ya, so many people told me how great this movie was that I was prepared for a major disappointment, but it was hilarious. I swear, I almost fell out of the seat a few times I was laughing so hard. The voices were great and the visuals were fantastic. Of course, it was a little heavy-handed, but what are ya gonna do?

Otis and I took a nice walk this morning, partially around the lake and up to Urban Bakery for some brekkies. On the way back, we stopped at the Green Lake Library and saw J-Force, who was getting oriented to her new digs. It’ll be great to have her in the neighborhood!

Once home, I wrassled with the dishwasher and with one of the bathroom sinks, winning only one match of the two. (I guess it’s time to call in the professionals for the dishwasher.) We cleaned the house and did all that dull stuff before walking out to the U-district have a bodyworkers’ reunion (Otis) and respond papers (me).

I got a lot done before Otis met me to come home, but there’s still a lot more to do, so I’d better get to it.
