I was going to post a movie review, but wasted my day doing other things. Coming soon, reviews of: Scenes from a Marriage, Superbad, The Count of Monte Cristo (book), Black Snake Moan, and Darby O'Gill and the Little People. How's that for a combo?! It's actually a good bunch of movies.

This weekend the brother-in-law and fam are in town. We're celebrating a few birthdays and enjoying each other's company. And tonight Ric and I are trying to do more in the house to make it look like we live there, so that when they come to check the place out, they won't call us slackers. Last night we hung a picture, fixed the broken closet rack for the second time, moved the piano to a different wall, and scratched our heads at how to lay out the living room (yet again) and how the stupid towel holder thing we bought for the bathroom door is supposed to be installed. We're going to go get the media cabinet that matches our bedroom set from my parents' house tonight. It has been there for a looong time. It will be nice to finally be able to use it.

I've been up since 5 today, which is making for a long day. I went to the dealer early this morning because of all the noises my car has been making (rattles, mostly). Of course, true to form, the car made zero noises for the mechanic. So I drove away. What a waste. I do not appreciate being looked at by guys at dealers like I'm just some dumb chick who doesn't know anything about her car. Just because YOU haven't heard the noise doesn't mean other people haven't.

Okay, that's enough filibustering. Work's out in five minutes.
