a pleasant, low-key weekend

What with the Verizon guy coming yesterday and me generally feeling lazy, I didn't do much with yesterday.

Today's been a bit better. I went cycling (hence the picture of Rupert); only ~4-5 miles, but it seems I'm still very out of shape. :-( I've gotten groceries, got new mats for the cat boxes, gone to the bank (thank you, Capital Coed Soccer League!), done laundry, made dinner. Some tea and a little more telly while the last of the laundry dries, then to bed...

I watched another movie, The Secret of Roan Inish, written and directed by John Sayles, a Williams alum. Lovely story about people, the sea, islands, seals, and a little magic. No dragons, no fighter jets, no sex (only a very little romance, even, in passing), no explosions; but if you have the sea and waves crashing on the shore, and the lilt of Irish voices, and a little wonder, do you really need any of the rest?

(no subject)

So I'm watching Skins, and some unknown they have felt the need to (a) pixelate out the word "fuck" in a note that a character sticks on his forehead and (b) provide subtitles for the English speaking characters, and in a very irregular way, too, nothing that I can figure out.
