verbicideIt's too hot still to do chores. I have so many many chores. But it's too hot to do any of them! *avoids*
Amy T came over and we grabbed a slice of pizza at Pizza Passion--which I rather liked. Nice thin crust, but not soggy Neapolitan. We came back here to hang out for a little bit and she's just left.
Jeff's at a 5-hour matinee of Aida. Which I sincerely hope he's enjoying. I think I'm going to sit with my laptop in front of the fan and read an awesome story. Yes, yes I am.
Also--Jeff and I finally bought our tickets for the Ashland trip! Wooo! We're going to drive down the Wednesday before Halloween and stay through that Sunday! I can't wait!! We still need to rent the car and book hotel rooms (we're going to be spending the night in Portland, too!!) but at least we have tickets to five different shows! Let the road trip mix tape assembly begin! (Or, you know, iPod playlist assembly.)
No chores! No chores! Lalalalalalala!
Sarah's coming over at 7. We haven't seen each other in approximately five-thousand years. Yay! Leftover grilled chicken and sautéed zucchini for dinner it is!
Also, I went to see Wall.E last night and I really didn't like it at all. My most overwhelming reaction to it was boredom. I'd gone for the theatre AC and kept wishing I'd just stayed home. I thought components of it were cute (like, Wall.E and Eve) but the whole fat boneless baby human thing left me cold. I hated that they used live action actors for any part of it, and I thought it was a little weirdly heavy handed. I'd rather watch Cars again than this. Wall.E was as cute as Number Five ever was, and of course the animation was great. But overall, I've been sadly disappointed now with the last three Pixar films. Even Ratatouille (which I liked much better than Wall.E or Cars) wasn't anywhere near as good as Monsters, Inc. or The Incredibles --which were cinematic perfection, I thought. I also agree with Leigh that Wall.E seemed to be two different movies spatched together, and I much preferred the first half.
That's all! Now to continue avoiding laundry by reading on the couch!

Please to acquire some full-body armor or bracing devices in preparation for the tackle hugging that will ensue!!

Date: 2008-08-18 10:19 pm (UTC)Well, depending on what time you're coming through and if you feel like it on that Wednesday, it's certainly not too late for you to stop to hang out...we could meet someplace for dinner, if you think you'd felt up to it (are you just passing through that night or stopping for the night?). It'd just be me as Sal will be at work, but as I say, if you'll be in town and feel like it, that'd be fun. But that Sunday for dinner will be awesome regardless -- I'm looking forward to it already!
And I will begin shopping now for armor in anticipation of being hugged to the ground. ;)

Date: 2008-08-18 10:25 pm (UTC)I can't wait for dinner on Sunday--can we bring anything? Bread? Drinks? Appetizers? (It's killing me that I can't make anything for you guys because we'll be on the road, but we can certainly pick something up!)
Awesome about the armor. Something with nice, cushion-y padding and head support. *emphatic nod*
