curtains, and the smog check

sergebroomGot up at 4am - which is almost oversleeping for me. Went to the gym. Came back hoime for another long day of telecommuting, but I didn't mind because one project is now pretty much done, and one that I started this morning had by lunch time reached the point where the ball is already in the user's court and awaits his validation of the results. Ah, the sense of accomplishment...
When the office day was over, I took care of a few more errands, and of a few tasks at home. Finally got the dining-room's curtain rod back up after Agatha had knocked the whole thing down. (She definitely deserves her name.)
Of course, I was pooped enough that I decided there was no point in trying to watch Galactica. I surrendered to the demands of my body and sat outside in a lawnchair, where I promptly nodded off with Cagney curled up in my lap.
No errands tomorrow night, but I decided I'd go see what the local SF club is like. The only thing on my schedule for Saturday is to take care of the DMV's notice that our minivan must go thru the usual smog-check. After that, nothing to do. Nothing, nothing, nothing... Hopefully that means I can get caught up with my TV watching with a minimum of nodding-off.
Coming soon... Some comments about The Naked City.

Date: May. 10th, 2008 03:04 am (UTC)We caught an episode of The Naked City on TMC a little while back. It had been directed by the same chap who directed Topkapi. Interestingly, (having seen a little bit of the latter before drifting off to sleep), it was fascinating to compare Ustinov in Topkapi to Ustinov in Quo Vadis, in which he was over-acting to beat about fifteen bands.
