All the rain took it's toll on our backyard, where the grass isn't established enough to hold the top soil in place. There is now a trench along the back edge and bit of a chasm from all the run off. I had hoped we would be able to get our flower boxes put together and installed this weekend, but the weather had other ideas. I have a bunch of summer bulbs that need to go into the ground, as I've already left them pretty late. I may have to put them in pots on the deck and transplant them later. I hope this isn't going to be one of those summers where it's beautiful all week long then pisses down rain every weekend.
Friday night was lots of fun. We went out to the Blue Olive to hear Kizzy sing with OPA. It was a good time. Darrell didn't stay, it was too loud for him to hear what was being talked about and most of it was theatre anyway, so he left and came back later to get me.
Saturday there wasn't much to do on account of the rain. We had planned to go to Suzy and Chris' BBQ but the weather won out and we stayed home. Sorry we missed it guys hope you all had a good time regarless. We did some around the house stuff and watched a few movies on the movie network. I finally saw Star Wars Revenge of the Sith... I'm glad now I didn't stand in line and pay money in a theatre. The story was weak and predictable, It was all computer effects and some of them were just not good, and it was entirely too human (barely any funky aliens at all). The entire movie seemed like blah, blah, lightsaber battle, blah, blah, Lightsaber battle, blah blah, lightsaber battle. My overall feeling about the "New" Trilogy.... Sucked! Gearge Lucas should have quit while he was ahead and not wasted our time on what was obviously a studio attempt to sell merchadise. Here's hoping he doesn't have any plans for another trilogy that picks up after the first one. The original cast is now old enough to play the parents of the next generation.. so lets keep our fingers crossed they all have better things to do.
Sunday I had to do alittle sewing for Darrell's teleprompter. I had to build a cover that would attach to the teleprompter frame to block the light glare and reflection on the camera lense... it's alot like the idea behind the old cameras where the guy used to have to duck under the cover to take the picture. Brian & Helen Came over Sunday evening. Helen's Mom Margaret is visiting from England for awhile. We all watched Transamerica with Felicity Huffman. Excellent movie I'd recommend it to anyone. Felicity Huffman plays the role of a preoperative transexual who learns he/she has a son from a relationship he/she had in college, and has to go to New York and bail him out of jail and forge a relationship with him before her councillor will give the final approval for his/her gender redesignation surgery. The performances of the entire cast are excellent.
Today it's back to work and hopfully I can make some headway on my animation projects and not waste the day surfing the internet and reading comic books.
