scarlettinaSpent a really good Friday night with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wanton_heat_jet. The weather was so lovely, we spent part of evening just playing in his enormous yard with his dog Daisy, a sweet, smart, smaller-than-average standard poodle. Then we went out for drinks and to see Smart People. I enjoyed the film well enough, but found it pretty much cast to type (Ellen Page plays Juno in college, Thomas Haden Church plays the lovable ne'er-do-well, Dennis Quaid plays the rumpled college professor trying to find love after mourning his dead wife for far too long, Sarah Jessica Parker plays the love interest with pretty much no personality at all), which made a lot of the plot pretty predictable. Still, it was mild and mildly clever, fine enough for an evening when I wanted and needed pleasant distraction.
Today, there was more chasing about with the dog. We had brekkies at a hidden-away place called "Pancake Chef" and, if may I say so, the pancakes were terrific. Came home, had nice long chats withironymaiden, e_bourne, and ATC, then spent the day basically unwinding. Did some wire-wrapping (Miss Maiden, your earrings are ready), Torchwood catch-up, and napping (for I did not sleep nearly long enough last night).
Also, unpacked two ancient hard drives that I have had stored in the back of a closet pretty much since I moved into this place. They require I use multiple-pin plugs to connect them up so I can pull out whatever is stored on them before recycling them (or at least one does), and I'm not sure I have such cables anymore. Must unpack and investigate other boxes squirreled away in that closet. I live in fear of what I'll find, but ultimately I'll be grateful for the freed-up storage space.
And now, to bed...
