Nov. 27th, 2011 11:09 amFunny, enjoying writing down what I've been up to... dunno how long I'll keep it up.
Saturday - up early and working. Seems to be the state of the art around here. Although before working I did remove the detritus of movies and wine and generally tidy the kitchen. We seem to have stalled halfway through the 3rd bottle of red which just goes to show I don't drink like I used to. Which is probably a good thing!
Made a chicken soup out of the carcas left over from roast chicken in the week and pondered when the burn on the roof of my mouth from a potato was going to stop hurting. I suspect it'll be Monday at this rate. Had a soup related accident involving hot chicken soup and a blender... tad silly but I was in a hurry.
Next up, we headed out with B+K to see The Muppets... interesting experience. A lot of kids, but also a lot of people in their 30s and 40s. One mother, chaperoning some teenagers was pointing out that she had been in 8th grade when the original Muppet Movie came out. I was 10, I watched it on a Pan Am Tristar in October 1977 as we went to the US when my father started getting business trips for the government to meet the FBI. It's worth remembering that while The Muppets are American, the Muppet Show was a British creation for ITV which ended up back in the US.
Not a lot I can say about the movie. I, and most of the adults teared up like a bunch of kids at various points in the movie, especially Rainbow Connection. As we left, a guy turned to his kids and said "So now you know a little something about mommy and daddy's childhood." - interestingly, for such a long movie, I have never seen so many children kept under such tight control by modern parents :) - I guess all you need is an incentive.
Then home for a freezer dive for dinner and a catch up of the backlog of our TV collection.
Got about half-way through Season 5 of The Guild - all I can say to that is they've obviously built quite the fan base with the genre actors. I wasn't quite show who was acting the most like a fanboi in half the scenes. The one with Neil Gaiman begging Xaboo to get people to come to his panel was hysterical.
Anyway... onwards and upwards as they say. Tomorrow we get wood delivered and we meet the dog sitter.
