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 very good cast. I guess you can’t go wrong with Captain Jack Sparrow, Bilbo, and Hagrid, eh?
In other news, today marks my third LJ anniversary. When I started this silly thing, I had no idea I’d actually use it at all, let alone fairly regularly. I’ve never been able to keep a “real” journal – I’d write a day or two, then not again for months and months. In fact, yesterday I typed up four years worth of paper journal entries. It’s not nearly as monumental as it sounds – it was only 18 entries. I did it so that I’d have a record along with this journal – the entries are locked for now. Frankly, they’re pathetic. It’s interesting to see how I’ve changed – and how I haven’t.
All in all, being online and posting my thoughts and (some) feelings to my website, Usenet, and now LiveJournal has been a positive thing. I’ve grown, I’ve changed, and I like to think that I’ve made some good friends. Finding my husband wasn’t half bad either!
What’s next?

What’s next?
Vast left-wing conspiracy. We will outwit, outlast, and out-something-else-that-begins-with-out! Or maybe we’ll geek it out (I’m becoming a video game freak m’self)! Oh ho ho…you’re also a book fiend. Yesss…it becomes clear now. We have /way/ too much time on our hands. :)
Oh, and to end my obligatory-yay-for-you! commentary: HAPPY lj ANNIVERSARY!

Happy 3rd LJ anniversary! Mine was back in March.
I barely remember seeing the original Peter Pan back at a drive in, double feature with Old Yeller. Talk about cheerful. I remember I got all the way through Old Yeller but fell asleep on Peter Pan. They kept waking me up (I was in a station wagon full of kids) but I kept nodding off.
I don’t even eat his peanut butter… I’m a Jif gal. hee!
