Movies, Day of Stuff, Kitty!, &c

Last night, we (Melody, me, Crystal, Stephe[n]) watched Reign of Fire--or more accurately, Crystal and Stephe[n] watched all of it, I fell asleep partway through, and Melody and I decided to not watch the rest in favor of waiting until I could see the missed part. Unfortunately, Stephe[n] took the tape with him when he left, so we'll have to rent it and/or watch it some other time. :P (Crystal's friend Kathleen also took away her copy of Amélie, as she's going allll the way to school in NYC (from mid-LI) and won't be back foreeeever, so she is the suxx0r.)

Today, we've had some food, played chess--A Winner Is Me! Wooo!, looked at stuff online including kitty pictures and music videos and music (ok, we didn't watch that) and cool linguistic stuff that sylvie and idoru and maybe strwbrylv and anyone else who is linguistically inclined or just wants to hear accents should like, and more food is on the way, or possibly even here.

Speaking of kitty pictures, kitty pictures! (Puck, the new Kreidler kitty. :)

Also, the Google Toolbar rocks my web-browsing world. :)

Did you know?

1953: "Trying to concoct a missile-part degreaser, Rocket Chemical techs mix 39 duds. But "Water Displacement, Perfected on the 40th Try" works so well that employees sneak it home for all kinds of uses, so Rocket starts selling cans.

That's right, WD-40. :D

Shortly, I believe, Melody and her dad and I are headed out to some beach or other--probably Fire Island--and will probably catch a sunset in the bargain. :)

Incidentally, I'm having a faaabulous weekend. :D

More Kitty!

Oh yes, more kitty, same link. :D

Also, ultra-adorable Brendan+Puck goodness!
(Brendan being my ~19-month-old nephew. :)
