I See Much Ado About Nothing

I saw Joss Whedon's "Much Ado About Nothing" today and I have to say - that was a truly enjoyable movie, excellent cast, great chemistry, and thoroughly enjoyable.  If you like Shakespeare or Joss Whedon or both, then by all means make it a date to see that movie.

 

Other than that, it was a pretty ordinary day.  The weather was gray and cool, which was nice.  I woke up about sunrise, packed up my laundry and headed out.  The first stop was the Hickory Pit for breakfast and the second stop was the laundromat for a period of time in spent in the land of Zen laundry.  The third stop was home to fold my laundry and put it away.  The fourth stop, the movie at CineArts theater on Santana Row. The fifth stop was lunch at Pasta Pomodora.  Then Best Buy, where I picked up the complete Battlestar on Blu-Ray on a great sale.  Then, a stop at CVS for incidentals. One more at the bank.  Then, the market.  Finally, home and a call home to the ranch.  Finally, I'm settling in for dinner and a bit of TV watching.  All in all, a good day.

A Quick Day, A Quick Note

Paused during the day, waiting for a phone call for my brother, and I thought I would make a quick entry.  Today was:

-Two hours of online work
-Breakfast with Tony at the Hickory Pit
-Five loads of laundry at the laundromat
-A stop at the grocery store getting ready for the week ahead
-A stop at the drug store to pick up some essentials
-A stop at the hardware store to pick up some window cleaner
-A stop at the donut shop because it's right next to the hardware store
-Home, unloading the assorted stuff
-An hour more of online work
-This pause
-The call from my brother (any time now)
-Then off to see Stand Up Guys (Christopher Walken, Alan Arkin, Al Pacino)
-Then, probably a stop for a late lunch/early dinner
-Then home and fold and hang laundry

I sure am cramming a lot of stuff into a single day, but with all the hours working, I don't really see a lot of other options.  I was overdue with laundry and I was into the section of the closet where the clothes we don't wear by don't throw away just in case were hanging for the last couple of days.  I should have done laundry last week, but I was just way too busy.

One of the things I would still like to fold in and may do this evening is spend an hour or so cleaning the living room and kitchen - they're not particularly messy, but it does need to be done sooner rather than later.  I also find the whole act of "zen cleaning" to be particularly restful and soothing. I think I could use some restful and soothing today.
