Ramble, ramble, ramble.

I finished a bookmark this evening. It's sad, really, as this is my first real finished piece of tatting since October or so. I began another pair of booties last week, but I only worked one morning on them, so only the sole of one shoe is complete. For a long, long while there, I just couldn't tat anymore. It feels nice to come back to it.

Philip and I watched Dan in Real Life tonight. It was a good, good movie. We've been watching a lot of movies lately, including the following: The Bucket List, Michael Clayton, Awake, Juno, and Enchanted (the latter two were both seen in the theatre, too). We've got several planned to watch as well: Happy Endings, We Own the Night, Run Fat Boy Run, Margot at the Wedding, The Heartbreak Kid, and Atonement. It feels good to be catching up, so to speak, on all the flicks out there.

I played the drums last night for a good while with Chris and Philip. We played online, and Chris was at his house with his RockBand as well. I averaged in the 80th percentile for most songs (on Easy), but there was one song that absolutely SUCKED. Philip selected the song too quickly, and I was stuck on Medium. I failed out twice, being saved and brought back in by my band members (either Philip or Chris), Philip failed out once, and Chris failed at least twice. Finally, the game just booed us out of the song. It was awful. I had 59% on that one, with only a 36-note streak. We ended on a good note, though: for "Say It Ain't So," I received 98% with a 220-note streak.

Easy, of course. ;-)

I made a blanket for Ryan yesterday, and I finished it up this evening (before I tatted). I chose Husker fabric for one side, and solid black for the other. His birthday is on Thursday, but he took the day off, so I wanted to give him his gift tomorrow. Philip bought him a little car, and I whipped up a special batch of chocolate chip cookies tonight per Ryan's request. I hope we're able to make him smile tomorrow.

I looked at products online for a friend's Tastefully Simple party. I think I've got my order planned out. I've not had their goodies in several years now.

...

This post is made of *yawn*, I think. Good night. :-)

Atonement was a kick ass movie. It's the kind of movie that's going to make you want to just grab Philip for like, a 4 hour makeout (maybe more?) session. I think the movie people did it like that on purpose so that at least the guys get some kind of payoff for sitting through it with us. ;-)

Yeah, I thought it looked like a chick flick. I'm not sure Philip will be able to stay awake for that one. ;-)

We hardly ever watch movies but it is great that you guys are watching them together! I do want to see Atonement and Juno but will probably wait until I buy them for work. One nice perk of being the one to buy all the materials for the library is that I get first dibs on pretty much everything.

Going back to Tatting is a good sign. :)

Oooh, that *would* be a perk!

[lusty.livejournal.com]

You should definitely play with us sometime :-)

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

LOL. Then you'll see how I won't try the other levels yet!

[ascendinginto.livejournal.com]

I still want one (bookmark) when you have the time. :o)

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Bookmarks really don't take too long, and I don't think I've got anybody "in line" right now...

[ascendinginto.livejournal.com]

Are you up for making one? I need to find the page where you list prices and sizes, etc.

[adiasplat.livejournal.com]

I can't wait to see what you pick! It's so cool to see all the things other people like. I'm going to have a heck of a time planning my order. All I know for sure is GarlicGarlic and OnionOnion.

I hope you have a great show!

[shoebox_addict]

I love being up-to-date with movies. ;)
Haha! It's so cool that you rock out on that game too!

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Then you feel like you can finally engage in all the "water-cooler" talk with everyone else, because you finally know what happened in all the latest movies!

I saw Michael Clayton, There Will Be Blood, Atonement and Juno all in the same day. I LOVED the first two. Juno was a major disappointment, and I thought that TWBB was a bigger picker-upper than Atonement. I liked Atonement, but I thought it could have been better.

I've got There Will Be Blood yet to watch, but I really enjoyed all the rest of them, especially Juno.
