City Mouse/Country Mouse
This morning I came back into Gotham after spending the weekend in Connecticut with Doug. As usual, the two of us amused ourselves, mostly by watching movies and cooking of some sort. (I made my signature choco chip cookies from scratch.)
Doug and I saw Annapolis yesterday, (you don't have to ask Doug twice to go see a Navy movie) which is a good enough film, though it's devoid of any surprises. Late last night we also caught Fargo the IFC channel. I realize I am the only person on the planet who had never seen this film before.
Saturday afternoon I exposed Doug to Clan Millard at a dinner at my Aunt Sue's house. I think there were about 15 or so people around the dinner table and we both came out relatively unscathed. The food was great and it was fun seeing all the little cousins. Everyone liked Doug a lot. Whew. This was not the first time some of them had met him, but still. I like getting good reviews.
Since I was out in CT I missed quite a few birthday gatherings and outings, including two for two different co-workers. Apologies all around to anyone I missed. I did manage on Friday night to make it out to the Blacktable party. I was there early, but met some nice peeps and chatted a bit. Good times.
I'll update if anything bubbles up today. It's looking like it's going to be a little slow. I reviwed Dog Days by Ana Marie Cox this week. I'll attach a link as soon as I find a link to someone who picked it up.
