This week my husband Dan went to see the third star wars movie. I declined to come because a) he went to an early evening show that was too early for me since I was just leaving work when it started and b) I’m not all that interested in seeing it, at least not in the theatres. I have watched all the star wars movies to date, although I was too young to see the first 3 in theatres when I was a kid, they were on TV and at least one or two people I knew owned one of the various versions of the box set which would be watched at christmas or on long weekends. I saw the other two in theatres from what I can remember and they were ok, but just not my cup of tea.
However, on Monday we will be gong to see the Hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy and although the reviews have been lukewarm, I think it will still be very enjoyable. Now there is something I have read since I was a child (thanks for lending me the books, Dad…) that I want to see in a theatre.
My laundry room still sucks and I have been taking my laundry to the laudromat a few blocks away lately.
Haven’t heard any more about whether Carla Homolka is moving to NDG or not.
We walked up to Monkland last night and went by the Benny Farm site where (hopefully) our condo will be in a year from now. There are quite a number of buildings being renovated on that site now and it is looking really good. I am still waiting to get official approval from the bank… Anyway we also visited our west-coast friend Janice who works at the Ten Thousand Villages there and we also bought a plant at the best store on Monkland: “Provisions Snowdon”. It’s the only store I know of that sells exclusively plants, plant pots and beer. Speaking of the west coast and alcohol, Janice’s sister lives in BC and we are in the process of asking her to ship us a case of of Gray Monk Pinot Gris that we can split … mmm Okanogan white wine …
Dan just left to go to a music festival somewhere outside the city and I am sure he will have a blog entry about it soon.
Dan is just finishing school now – only 3 tests left. He had a music theory test yesterday which I am certain he did extremely well on.
Thank goodness for long weekends!
