Good day today - quiet morning, movie in afternoon and dinner with good friends tonight.
You don't really appreciate where you are until you are not there anymore. This 2 room suite at the hotel is nice, but it is sure not home. I guess maybe I am starting to get cabin fever, or something. Never thought I would miss an oven and a dishwasher, washer and dryer too! Since we only have a service for 3 and the kitchen is not really conducive to washing and drying dishes, we have started using plastic utensils and paper plates. I know, it's not good for the environment, but we are doing our part in conserving water.
We went to "Beowulf" today. We were going to walk to the theater but decided it was too cold, so we got there really early. As usual, it cost more for the 2 sodas and the box of milk duds than for the movie itself. As for the movie - did you know it is in 3D? Last movie I saw in 3D was
"The Stewardesses" in 1970. 3D has come a long way since then and the glasses you get for the movie are "real" glasses, not those paper glasses with one red and one green lense. I did find that if you sat on the side of the theater rather than right in the middle, the whole movie appeared a bit clearer. Interesting story, great special effects, not quite sure why Angelina Jolie is publicised so much for the movie, except I guess because she is Angelina Jolie.
Linda and Jim came by tonight and brought barbecue for dinner - North Carolina barbecue that is. For those of you who don't know, barbecue in NC is the meal, not a way of cooking the meal. NC (Eastern variety) is pulled and/or chopped pork with a vinegar based hot pepper sauce that is usually served with hush puppies and slaw. It has a kick to it and for some it is an aquired taste. It beats Western NC barbecue (tomato based sauce) hands down. Dessert for either barbecue is usually banana pudding and pecan pie; drinks could be sweet tea or lemonade.
As expected the company and the meal were great!
Clinic tomorrow at 8:30, wonder what products will be needed? So far no blood products in a week. Those little donor cells are really doing a good job.
G'nite,
Wendy
