Stuff & Things
Apr. 23rd, 2009 09:45 am- Black Books series two came from Netflix yesterday. YEA. Which means I'm into episodes I haven't seen before.
- I'm always impressed with how closely the performances in the various BBC adaptations of Charles Dickens novels resemble the descriptions in the books. (Burn Gorman's Mr. Guppy even looked like the illustrations in Bleak House.) Reading Little Dorrit right now.
- Today is the Fire District 50th Anniversary/County 100th Birthday Celebration. At noon they are ringing the bell at the Methodist Church 100 times. I am lending a hand by picking up sandwiches. And other things too, I'm sure.
- Tomorrow I'm helping out with National Youth Service Day. The kids are painting a mural on a tavern!
- City council was DULL. And, like, 80 degrees F in the building at 7 PM. Blah. Thankfully, it was only about an hour. I wonder if they have air conditioning in there, or if by July/August I'm going to want to kill myself because of the heat?
- Will be spending the first couple of weeks of July in Seattle doing my usual house-/dog-sitting. YEA. As always, I'm looking forward to it. Maybe moreso this year as I've spent so little time over there lately.
