List of the Day
Dec. 30th, 2009 07:51 pm What I have been up to:
1. River of Lights at the botanical gardens with hanjuuluver and my aunt, who went before Christmas but wanted a chance to see it without a three-year-old in tow. The lights around the lake were quite lovely, and the giant Christmas-light T-Rex was pretty much the coolest. Also the castle maze, which was all spooky and dim and awesome.
2. Sculpture exhibit at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center with my grandmother. Pretty interesting, even if their main collection is in desperate need of updating. I look forward to going back when they have the new expansion open. I'm going to have to remember to see the Albuquerque artists' exhibit at the Albuquerque museum over spring break, though, since we didn't get to go there too.
3. Spent another night at my mom's, getting dive bombed by the kitten. The boyfriend has taught her how to growl at her toys when she tries to kill them. Somehow we always seem to end up with the dog-cats. Given the total lack of internet up there, we watched a bunch of Law And Order, and I read Marvel 1602 (so good!) and started The Bells at Sealey Head (not my favorite McKillip so far, but still interesting).
4. Saw Sherlock Holmes with hanjuuluver and diamminesilver. I will admit right up front that I am not much of a Holmes/ACD fan, so my interest in this film was motivated purely by the fact that I like a) steampunk and Victoriana, and b) sweaty shirtless RDJ. This film more than delivered on both of those, and also beat out Star Trek for most blatantly gay movie I've seen this year. Seriously, Holmes and Watson are just married. Lots of fun, and highly recommended by me.
And now my dad and I getting ready to celebrate '2009 Can Kiss My Ass Day' with huge amounts of Chinese/Vietnamese food and the Stanford football game.
