Blah, didn't get as much work done today as I wanted to, but to be fair, I spent the morning driving back through an ice storm.  Still, therelic   and I took the time out late this evening to set up the Christmas Tree and decorate the apartment for the holidays.  I now feel that I have fewer decorations than I thought, as they do not terribly fill the space... but the Christmas Tree off to...

Bah, just lost my entire entry for the evening.  Ah well, time to reconstruct. Anyhow, it was a good weekend; found a new way to prepare rum, if you're willing to sweeten an already-sweet booze.  Went searching for Goth Clubs in NYC online (leaning more towards Victorian Goth, personally), and came up with the Korova Milk Bar .  There's supposedly one at 200 Avenue A & 12th Street in Alphabet City...

again out of a job for an undetermined amt of time. it's perfect timing, as far as unemployment goes, b/c now i don't have to worry abt taking vacation time or whatnot for the holidays, and now i can rightly go visit LA for a rightly extended wkend in Dec. i also need to pay therelic  a visit and return her books. the other day i spent most of my morning fretting about how i somehow lost...

Exam Schedule: 12/11 - Admin Law (evening) 12/13 - Commercial Law (evening) 12/15 - Land Finance (evening) 12/17 - Internet Law (take-home) Thesis Paper due during exams Ugh.  Not thinking about the month until I'm done with this semester.  Four weeks and it's over.  There's a lot to do between now and then, but I'll have it covered.  The "cutlery" show in NYC is Saturday; hopefully I'll have time...

I get the feeling the weekend wrap-up will be coming more often on Monday morning than Sunday evening, if only because of the inevitable list of things left to do before work and class on Monday... followed by the inevitable morning free time as the office slowly gets itself up to speed for the week. Slept badly Friday into Saturday (yeah, I knew the double-shot of espresso was a bad idea, but the...

Well, that was interesting.  The movie was both more and less than I had expected.  I guess... I wanted there to be "villains" ... but instead, the "bad people" wound up being immature adults... and rather than reviling them, I found myself pitying them.  It was probably what the director was looking for, given the movie's message.  There were only two real mature adults in the movie I think:  Blind...

I must remind myself that, no matter how engrossing the conversation, one must not stay up late talking with good friends when one has work the next day.  Ah well.  Perhaps, if work is light in the office today, I'll have a few minutes to myself to make some revisions to the AWR paper... therelic  arrives back States-side sometime tomorrow, which is good.  I miss having my roommate around...

...but I want to get this one out before I collapse (ahh, bed of sweet oblivion, how you tempt me...) Long weekend; relaxed a little on Saturday after the MPRE; took out an hour and a half to watch Appleseed:  Ex Machina.  Not bad; they telegraphed some of the plot points (that, or I've gotten used to this style of detective fiction), but the artwork was gorgeous and they weren't afraid to delve into...
