Birds - See? Last Friday was apparently big-ass bird day. Or a sign that the new nature preserve park in northwest Lawrence is doing its job. I went out to run an errand on Friday evening, and on my way out past the park, a huge owl did a flyover of my car. I have no idea what sort it was, but it had wide black bands across its wings. And it had either missed dinner, was building its nest, or was a vegetarian, since its claws were full of leaves. Or maybe it was a medecine-owl?

Anywho, on the way back, same trip mind you, what did I spot on the side of the road feasting on splatted pavement bunny? A VULTURE. Not kidding at all - a red-headed vulture. Good thing I'm not looking for signs and portents, because Yikes!

Cleaning - Some of this happened last weekend. During a semi-regularly scheduled cleaning of the downstairs, I mopped the tile floors. Now they're shades lighter. Okay, so fine, there is a difference between vacuuming and mopping. Grumble. Sigh.

On Sunday I disassembled and vacuumed the entire sectional couch, including under it. Most frustrating thing about it was that when it's done and everything is back in place, you can't see half your hard work. Well, that and the fact that it wiped me out. But the cushions did look spiffy when I was finished. All the pets thought so, too. All our white, and black, and grey haired pets...

Entertainment - Our recent film selections have featured silly science.

Whiteout - It's got action and adventure! It happens in Antarctica! Kate Beckinsale looks just cute as a bug in a rug! It's got dramatic frostbite and possible romance/danger! What doesn't it have? Logical science. If the deadly danger that our heroine faces (aside from murderers, that is) are freezing cold temperatures that can basically burn off your fingers if you go out without gloves - how can it possibly be okay to go outside with your FACE exposed to the same elements?!?!?! Not to mention the dramatic possibilites lost when only the bad guy has his face fully covered.

2012 - Hilarity ensues as John Cusack rushes to save his family from a planet that is literally crumbling beneath thier feet. Or the wheels of their airplane. Whatever. Mildly Spoilery review through here )

Be seeing you.
