...and I'm an LJ slacker.  A SERIOUS LJ slacker.

To briefly update the last eight months:

* Jorg and I went to Italy for two weeks in late November and early December.  It had been almost fifteen years since my summer in Rome, and it was wonderful to find myself back there.  Of course, god love the Italians, we had a train strike.  Jorg's travel in ( Read more... )

I am now convinced that Jorg and I should play air hockey as frequently as possible.  I was not in my happy place early Friday night, but after playing the world's longest game of air hockey, I felt better.  Of course, I was temporarily irritated that I lost, but I know that's going to happen anytime I lose at anything.  It's really a great way to ( Read more... )

Rest in peace, dear sir.

I think I'm going to pick up Pumpkinhead  at Movie Stop today.  It's $7.50, and you really can't beat that for one of my favorites.

This is so geeky, but I'm friends with the people who work there.  I would go for their 300 party tonight, but we're going to the Fox for the double feature of The Departed and Goodfellas.  I haven't been for the film ( Read more... )

I've been stocking up on $1.99 and $2.99 DVDs at our local MovieStop, a place where I can be seen frequently browsing.
