Friday Night: Chronicles of Who
Friday night we went to Chronicles of Who where we watched The Pirate Planet, then headed over to Pompeii with the rest of the group for late dinner/very early breakfast. The Pirate Planet is part of the Key to Time story arc, and was written by the one & only Douglas Adams. Think “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” meets Doctor Who, complete with speedboats dressed up to be “aircars”. The episode was hilarious, even when it wasn’t intended to be, but it was still Doctor Who at its finest, with sci-fi suspense and a surprise ending.
Saturday: Cats and Bats
We’re scheduled to clean Cat Guardians the first Saturday of every month, so that’s where we were all morning. Then, a quick stop at Panda Express before heading over to Pet Supplies Plus to stock up on litter for the shelter and food for our cats.
We finally saw The Dark Knight Saturday night. It was good, but I’m not sure it lived up to the hype. Visually, it was great, don’t get me wrong. Maybe I’m just getting too old & sentimental, but I don’t like seeing Batman as that much of an anti-hero.
Afterwards, we came home for some drinks and passed out halfway through a Deep Space Nine episode.
Sunday: Caulk. Yay.
Today was a “putter around the house” day. I had a nice, relaxing soak in the tub, surfed the web for way too long, and re-caulked the tub. We just finished dinner, then we’re heading over to A La Mode here in Lombard for dessert.
