Miscellany of a Cheshire Cat

Bunnies bearing eggs are not to be trusted!

As appropriate, I had easter candy for breakfast. And that was the full extent of my observance of the holiday. Some traditions should not be broken.

All in all, this was not the most productive weekend in history, but it suited my mood. I could have used a little more sleep, but that was apparently not to be. I could have used a little more time with my brain functioning as well, but this was also not to be. Oh well.

We did go see 10,000 B.C. in which we saw some pretty ticked off giant arboreal attack chickens who were some ticked about that bunny stealing their eggs. Even after bracing ourselves for a fantasy movie, it was a pretty bad movie. Silly and amusing enough but bad. I don’t feel cheated out of time and money, but in hindsight I really didn’t need to see it.

The Bank Job would have benefited from skimpier costumes for Jason Statham. Alas, he was fully clothed most of the time. Despite this, it was a good, fun caper flick.

This weekend also involved looking at couches again as our current couch is rather … squished. We have confirmed that we are incredibly picky. We have also confirmed that we should probably carry around little cards that explain to sales people to leave us alone because they’re more likely to get a sale that way. However, I am at least somewhat optimistic that we will be able to find a couch we like when the time comes. Our current couch is probably about 10 years old and those years have not been easy. If all else fails, I’ll get it refurbished with new cushions and upholstery or maybe do that anyway and put it somewhere else in the house. I’d also like to put a comfy reading chair in my office where I currently have a bunch of crates and boxes for recycling. I need to stash my sewing machine boxes somewhere storage-like as well. And I should do something about bookshelves so I can get my books out of the Fop’s office… not that I can navigate through the boxes of comics to get to my books right now. *giggle* I do sense a trip to IKEA in my future though.

But, first on my list is to play with fabric. I need some sort of carrier for my laptop accessories and cables. I keep seeing the neoprene ones for sale and thinking “cool but I could make that” so I guess I should get off my butt, right?

I know the photo is not very Spring-ly, but I really like it. I hadn’t posted a non-monster cat photo in a while and wanted to post something. It would also make an excellent location to hide easter eggs. In fact, maybe this is an easter photo and you should find the easter egg hidden in this picture!
