    I do believe in fairies, I do! I do!

    I’m having a very nice, quiet weekend with sqlrob. Sleeping in, minor household chores, video games (Simpson’s Hit & Run), and movies. Last night we watched Peter Pan. I liked it a lot – definitely a lot darker than Disney’s version. Jason Issacs was very yummy both as Dad and as the nefarious Hook. Honesty demands that I admit I cried when Tinkerbell was dying. <grin> Today we watched From Hell, a movie based on Jack the Ripper. That was a good movie. It wasn’t as gory as I’d feared, and the mystery draws you in. Fascinating flick, with a…

    A is for…

    This conversation actually took place a week or so ago – I keep remembering then forgetting to post it. Me: :::preparing to have an apple with peanut butter, twisting off the stem prior to slicing the apple::: : That better be “R”! Me: :::giggling::: Funny thing is, in my head I was chanting: “A… B… C….” OK, maybe it was funnier at the time. Strange how childhood rituals stick with you.

    File this under: Duh!

    I always suspected this…

    DNA Study Finds Chihuahuas Aren&apos;t Dogs “It was a surprise to find that some breeds such as the Ibizan hound and the Pharaoh hound, along with several others that dog aficionados have long believed dated back thousands of years, are actually much more modern animals ? re-creations that were probably produced by breeders,” said geneticist Leonid Kruglyak, who helped conduct the research. “However, it was more of a surprise to find that some breeds are not even dogs.” Among other findings, the analysis determined that the Chihuahua is actually a type of large rodent, selectively bred for centuries to resemble…

    Nap time!

    We had a fun day today. First, off to the Half-Price tent sale, where we ran into several of &apos;s co-workers. We probably spent close to two hours there, poring over all the books. We managed to come home with 49 books – I spent about $18 and he spent about $15. We both found a couple of books we&apos;d been looking for, so it was definitely a Good Thing™! And, because I&apos;m a complete and utter geek, here&apos;s what we scored: Rob&apos;s take Computers And Intractability Programming Perl lex & yacc Managing Projects With Make JavaScript The Definitive Guide…

    Reading…

    I just started reading Georgiana : Duchess of Devonshire. I discovered through a web search that the subject of a painting I have is the Duchess of Devonshire, who lived in the late 1700&apos;s. It&apos;s a chalk drawing that is supposedly over 100 years old. My parents liked this drawing, because they thought it looked a bit like my mother. Anyway, I like it too. I don&apos;t know for sure how authentic it is – one of these days I&apos;d like to find out, but I&apos;m not sure how.
