Yay! Here's to a week that improved! :D
Feb. 18th, 2009 07:56 amYaay! Last night was the first building movie night (which I was organizing) and it exceeded our wildest expectations when 22 people showed up! I am still riding the high. :D :D :D I'm so excited to be helping to build community. \o/ \o/ \o/
We watched Encounters at the End of the World (trailer for the curious), a rather neat (if slow-paced) documentary by Werner Herzog. It's "not another movie about penguins," instead focusing on the unique people who gravitate to Antartica.
I'm pleased to report that the last of the leak fallout finished up over the weekend. I felt rather badly on Friday since my initial leak precipitated a second problem that necessitated turning off the water to every unit in my "stack" (i.e. all the units directly above and below me) for a couple of hours. Sorry everyone! *guilt* The downside of living in a high-rise. But it's all good now, the carpet and cupbard and floor have all dried out completely, and I've been able to put everything away - stuff being everywhere last week was driving me more crazy than anything else!
Other news: spent a lovely Saturday with BrightBoy at the Science Centre. Damn, I love that place! Though the lineup was far, far longer than I'd ever seen it. We probably would have been waiting in line for a good 45 minutes - clearly an excellent reason to buy a membership, eh? *beams* They've got a really interesting lineup of exhibitions this year, including one called Sultans of Science covering the progress made in science in the Middle East through the Middle Ages. It's AMAZING to finally see mainstream acknowledgement of this in a public institution. I'm looking forward to going through it with more detail (than running after an almost-five-year-old, I mean).
There was also a rather good party on Saturday night, but I'll talk about that a little more under the filter, shall I? *g* I just have two words: pterodactyl pr0n.
