This weekend I…
21 July 2008

  • mainly did a bunch of DIY
    To be more precise, I helped out. We hung lining paper on the hallway upstairs, and it’s quite amazing what some light-coloured paper will do to lift the mood. We’re almost done, but there are some extremely tricky bits as the upstairs is a loft conversion and so I’m a bit worried that Neil will fall and hurt himself (he jokes that I’ll return and find him in a decomposing heap at the bottom of the stairs) as I’m going away next week.
  • realised how much I haven’t done about going away
    I still have to get a hold of Canadian dollars for my holiday this week, and although I think I’m organised (I have a list and everything), I suspect I’m not. I’m really looking forward to seeing my family this week, and so I have certainly not been in the mood to do anything but wish I was already on holiday.
  • saw the rings
    Neil’s picked up our wedding rings, which I had almost (but not quite) forgotten about. This site has mostly been a wedding-planning-news-free zone (because going on and on about something this low-key and self-obsessed is boring), and now all the things that need to be done have been done. All I’m worried about is the guests having expectations of a traditional wedding when I basically want it to be seen as a regular weekend with a short civil ceremony in the afternoon (especially since I’ve always been an advocate of the Vegas quickie).
  • watched a few movies on the teevee
    Two stick in my mind: Omen II, where it appears that any direct or extremely indirect human threat to young Damien was dispatched fairly ruthlessly, and makes me wonder if the Devil was so omnipotent and omniscient, why did his (clearly quite powerful as well) followers have to worry so much about us puny humans? Damien was perfectly capable of defending himself from anyone. And he sure embraced the “I am the son of the Devil” idea pretty quickly. The other one was Batman Begins, which was broadcast on Sky One last night. I love Christian Bale and want him to bear my children, but I still think Michael Keaton was the best Batman / Bruce Wayne, because he looks more like a crazy rich guy than the other actors ever did. I am pissed that The Dark Knight starts its run here while I am away. Neil thinks the make up used for Heath Ledger’s Joker looks remarkably like that of The Crow.
