yes, I'm alive
Just busy dealing with putting out a lot of little fires. That, and enjoying a four day -- well, ok, three and a half day weekend.
From the "Learn From My Mistakes" category: It is a bad idea to pull a couch away from the wall then stand on the back of it, in an attempt to fix plastic over the windows to keep the cold air from seeping in. My left cheekbone met painfully up with the wood between the upper and lower panes, and rattled my brain around in my skull like a pea in a coffee can. Thankfully, I didn't put my face through the glass
(I'd've spent what I would have saved in energy costs on medical bills!), didn't have a concussion, and didn't have to attend Thanksgiving dinner with a black eye (hooray for arnica!). It's still a bit tender, almost a week later.
From the "Take My Advice" category, which differs slightly in the above in that it doesn't involve bodily harm: If you plan on watching
Gosford Park any time soon, I recommend watching it with closed captioning. Those folks can be awfully hard to understand, especially those with a Scottish brogue, and they don't exactly speak loudly at times.
is
this just not enough…?
