the four seasons

i watched the four seasons tonight. excellent movie. humorous. thought provoking. alan alda & carol burnett seem to be quite the natural couple. there were no teary outbursts in this one - just one scene of rage. and, frankly, alda does well with rage.

i have one extra ticket to the railcats home opener next thursday if anyone is interested. you'd be going with a group of my work people, but chances are they'll be more scared of you than you are of them. at some point i will probably learn to second-guess people before i buy the tickets. having the extra ticket doesn't surprise me, but it does frustrate me a little.

today was brought to you by the letter i. my favorite words were impeccable, incarcerate and imbecile.

i have consumed half a bag of cheddar-flavored chex mix tonight. truly the best pieces are the corn chex. they hold much more cheddar-flavored powder than the rest of the mix. although the actual cheese crackers aren't too shabby, either.

i purchased fabric online last night. generally it's something i stay away from ... however, the kit i bought several months ago doesn't have quite enough fabric to do what i want. generally i avoid online fabric because you can't ever tell what the true colors are. in the this case, however, i know they're from the same family of fabrics i've got sitting in front of me. so they will match perfectly. they were created to do so.

i have six weeks to create this quilt. good thing i work well under pressure.

i read today that many english-language grammatical "rules" are actually misapplied from latin-based (latinic?) languages. english is a germanic language. therefore our language is above the latin rules. just what we need, one more reason to be snooty. :)
