My grandmother died last night. I’m waiting to find out when the memorial service is, and when, therefore, we’ll be going to Seattle, and for how long. I kind of expect it’ll be this weekend. In the meantime, I’m waiting for the mover guy to email me with an estimate on how much it’ll cost to move us down to Cork. The price he quoted for packing us up was, I thought, extremely reasonable, and best of all it requires no effort on my part. Except probably standing around supervising…
broken rules
I broke my rule. I watched the new X3 trailer online. I was actually heart-palpitatingly nervous, waiting for it to load. You know that uncomfortable twang of pain that resides right behind the breastbone? Yeah, that. Which is ridiculous. It’s a movie. I feel a bit like the Vonnegut quote I’ve got on my page: Any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous.

Go me. :) Hey. I’m *writing* again. I could start watching Highlander! …except I’m waiting for some people from a moving…

knights in shining armor
My cousin Heidi has a little boy, Dane, who is eleven days younger than Breic. Dane, like Breic, is a Knight in Shining Armor (although Breic calls the costume “my knight in shining armor”, if you want to get picky about it all). They are so cute I could scream. :) Dane (please look carefully at his reflection, off to the left): Breic: There are two more pictures, Breic on his Noble Steed and Dane coming to the attack!, which really ought not be missed. :) One of these days…
