Great, busy, hectic, fun, productive weekend. Got my taxes done, yay! Got a reasonable return this year and splurged a bit on Amazon and Amazon UK to pick up a few odds and ends I've been waiting for a long while. Just so happens that March 1, Blake's 7 season 1 is finally being released in the UK and guess who preordered herself a copy. Damn I love having an all-regions DVD player.
Work was good, though pretty much what I expected results-wise. I got to see "Fight Club" and was somewhat unsatisfied by the final twist in the flick. It had been heavily foreshadowed, though ultimately the way it had been filmed I just kept mentally muttering, "There's no way it could work like that, there just isn't." Anyway, then L- surprised me with the full HK version of "Vampire Effect" or "The Twin Effect" as it's apparently called over there. Getting to see the whole thing and subbed rather than dubbed was nice. It didn't make a whole lot more sense, but it's still a very fun film.
Sunday I got to bed way too late as I stayed up until about 2 watching "The Lion in Winter". Why don't they make films like that any more? Now that is an Oscar worthy film, when I compare it to most of what's up for one this year...well, enough said. Anyway got up a bit later than I wanted to and started a day of chores. Groceries got bought, laundry got done, rooms got vaccuumed, floors were swept, beds were made and most importantly, the lawns were mowed. I quickly came to the conclusion that a machete would've been more useful out back after I'd let things go for a couple of months, but I stubborned my way through it and ended up winded and a bit sore afterwards. But what a workout.
Then I lit some candles and tried dancing the Goddess choreography for my gods in honor of Imbolc. It was amazing how much of a difference it made in my dancing when I let go of my own expectations and desires and simply danced it for Them. It was flawless, absolutely perfect and effortless. Don't know if I'll ever achieve that again, but it was so nice to know it's within my capabilities. Played around with my zills for a bit to a Tarkan song after that, then ran Goddess again just to make sure I had it. I'm sure we'll go through it tonight as well in class, but a little extra practice never hurts.
After that I took a shower to help relax my sore muscles and worked on some crafting for a bit. Meant to pop in the tape that "Wire in the Blood" was on, but couldn't remember if it was the one that was lying on the floor now broken (don't know how that happened), so decided to just channel surf until Aelf got home. She got in much later than we'd hoped, and had a good deal to do herself, so no DS9 :( Ah well, it did let me get to bed nice and early last night which was a pleasant change.
