it's a beautiful day in my neighborhood, anyway

[phinnia]

Sunshine, mild weather: check.
Flowers in bloom: check.
Eyedropping the kid this morning without too much terrible trouble: check!
Trader Joe's having everything I wanted in stock: check.
Library: check.
Video store with nearly everything I wanted and things I didn't know I wanted, including the three disk documentary on Ernest Shackleton that purridot told me about just before I left (<3 <3 <3!): check! (I think I could go in there for the rest of my natural life and not manage to get bored. Sorry, tallin: no Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings, and Pinky and the Brain disk set 2 was out, but I got Corner Gas season 1 instead.)
Cute girls who know film working at video store and who were obviously looking at my chest long enough to admire my new bpal steampunk shirt: check! (yes! I am a pervy lech. I pull no punches.)
Kid not yet sent home by paranoid administrators: check check!
Cat being super cute and playing with headphone cover: check!

Today = full of WIN.

I have Volume 2 of the Pinky and the Brain set if you want to borrow it.

[phinnia.livejournal.com]

That would be awesome. Thank you!

[nihilistech.livejournal.com]

Say when would be good to do the hand-off. Also have Muppets (vols 1 and 2) and The Tick, if any of those are of interest.

Yay! We have all 4 seasons of Futurama and season 1 of Fraggle Rock if you want to trade?
As far as when - would brunch next Sunday be okay?

[nihilistech.livejournal.com]

That would be great. (Both time and proposed trade.)

Sounds good! is 10:30 okay? We can meet at Chaco Canyon (at 50th and 12th NE) - it's good too and less crowded than Blue Dog.

... wait, what? He is? How did I miss this development? OMG.

[shutterbug-12.livejournal.com]

YES, ON LENO! (And then again on Craig's show on 5/6, I think.) =DDDDDD

Oh, hey, thanks for reminding me that I need to drop by my local independent-like video store tonight. Must rent French movie for study purposes!

[phinnia.livejournal.com]

Oooh, are you looking for a specific one or would you like some recommendations? (I'm kind of in love with foreign movies.)

[zulu]

Specifically "Au revoir, les enfants." There are going to be questions about it on the test. But I enjoy recommendations as well!

I really loved 'Two or three things I know about her' by Godard; it's a bastard to find but it's really fantastic. <3 Um. 'Breathless' and 'Jules et Jim' are classics, obviously. If you can find a copy of 'Poltergay', it's probably one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.
