Some dudes from Janey's school's affiliated church's alcohol and drug rehabilitation program's work project (deep breath) came and blitzed our garden for us. The dudes also took all the junk from the carport to the tip, including all the cardboard boxes I was patiently dismantling and stuffing in the recycle bin every two weeks. I saved some boxes so I'd still have a project and feel useful. :( Anyway we can put our car in the carport now, wow!

I'm still cleaning the pool when I can but it's made a little more difficult due to ducks apparently taking up residence. The water is pretty clear but the floor has all like gunk and when you run the vacuum the filter doesn't necessarily filter too great so the floor gets clean but the water goes murky. Then you wait a few days and do it again. I'm assuming the overall dirt level is gradually going down, but it would be nice to have a progress gauge.

Speaking of! TODAY'S IDEA is to manufacture little electronic gauges that monitor life goals and present them to you as progress, perhaps of your avatar in some silly game. Thanks to dynagrip I even have a title: World of Weightloss! Though dieting is just one of many exciting opportunities. And junk.

My sister came to visit on the weekend and brought 4 movies from my movies to watch list! We only had time for two though: The Italian Job and Soylent Green. The Italian Job was a lot, well, sillier than I expected. Soylent Green was interesting I guess but I did keep hearing comments from the MST3000 guys in my head. We made tacos! Then yesterday one of Janey's good friends who went to high school with her came for dinner and I made pizza. That is all the social engagements we had planned so it is now A Convenient Time For Us to have the baby. Go baby go!

I made a formal, public request in my LJ that you post more. Just so you know. I don't really ever have anything to add, but I love reading your stuff just the same.

His updates are usually pretty good. Especially when they involve people trying to run over his brother.

You know, Soylent Green is one of those movies you don't actually have to watch because you already know how it ends, and that's all that matters. When you actually sit down to watch it, all you can think about is how it all leads up to the ending you already know.

Other movies like this: The Usual Suspects, The Crying Game.

I saw the Usual Suspects before I knew the ending! But the other two: totally. Also, Star Wars. OMG PALPATINE IS A BAD GUY

Tell the baby to come on Tuesday! That is my birthday! A baby on my birthday would be pretty cool.

Bag, I agree with you about Soylent Green ... I'd never seen it before, but I knew exactly how it was going to end. I thought the movie was quite boring, in all honesty. The Italian Job was much better - at least it was funny - but it was still highly predictable also!

Tell the baby to come on Tuesday? Sure, I can do that! It might not co-operate though! I've been telling the baby to come for the last week, and it hasn't been listening! I think it's too comfy in my womb, what with it's regular supply of food and warmth
