weekend in review
Dec. 11th, 2005 07:56 pmMy wekend has been....well, it's had its moments, both good and bad. I've had a migraine for four days now-- at this point it seems like forever. It's been one of the rare ones with overtones of nausea, and the sucker just won't quit. The meds have mostly knocked out the pain, but I'm left with the side effect of feeling not quite there.
On Saturday I had an invitation to see the Harry Potter movie at the local IMax, so I drugged myself to the gills and went. When they did their spiel about "Here are all the speakers" I began to fear that I had made a serious error, but it was fine. I was also concerned about the queasiness that I've had before in IMax theaters, but this one is so small (teeny tiny little IMax!) that the screen didn't wrap around like I expected. In this case, I was glad.
Nia loaned me a mystery last night that was a trifle unusual-- the protagonist is a serial murderer who only kills serial murderers. (Dearly Devoted Dexter by Jeff Lindsay) Wow. It was really good; now I'm going to have to look for the first one of the series. So to speak. The author has a wicked sense of humor that I really enjoyed. "I had always tried to avoid slicing up the wrong person, and it would be a shame to start now, even with a real estate salesman."
Miranda discovered a new treat yesterday-- chasing and eating the kernels I drop when I'm eating popcorn. I am so terribly uncoordinated that she had plenty to keep her running. It was quite amusing in a geez-I'm-embarrasing kind of way. She'snow lyng on her back in my lap with all four paws in the air, purring like mad. Utterly shameless, and we're both good with that.
I bought a poinsettia today-- whee! And my Aunt Jean sent a big ole gaudy card, so my Christmas decorating is done! Heh. Now if the shopping were that easy.
