many things...
Aug. 14th, 2005 07:20 pm* Firefly party last night was awesome. Pretty much confirmed that Firefly is the best show ever, that I needs must buy the DVDs, and that I am far too excited about the movie to be healthy.
Said party also confirmed that we are not very good at making cannoli, but damn if it don't taste good anyhow.
* Saw Julius Caesar on Friday night, which was great. The kids were awesome--Sasha rocketh my world, yes she does, as does Susanna and Katherine and Asher (those glasses were fabulous)and both Cassius-actors (can't remember their names).
Swimming was also fun (I have a new goal for the summer! But I shan't tell it to anyone...), although today was really the day to do it--my god it was hot. I let the birds out this morning for a while but it couldn't be too long--the house was far too stuffy with all the windows and doors closed. Bah.
I spent most of the day sitting on the couch, drinking tea and reading Isabel Allende's Zorro, which I like. It's interesting--the narrator is somewhat detached from the story, since it isn't Zorro or Bernardo but someone I haven't met yet, who will get into the story and then interrupt with phrases like, "and here I cannot tell you what happened in detail, as neither Diego nor Bernardo will disclose it to me," or something along those lines. Strange, but good.
Also yesterday I got in the mail my Writing Center handbook. I really don't want to do this job; I wish there were some way of not doing it; but on the other hand, I find it terrifically stupid to back out of something I haven't even tried yet, and it will probably be good for me (bah and double bah) in the long run. Still...I really don't want to. I am, quite frankly, terrified.
And on that note, I think I will go finish Zorro...
