Nov. 26th, 2005 10:00 amIt's a winter wonderland outside. There was snow for Thanksgiving but last night another couple of inches silently fell. It was beautiful last night, there's something so amazingly peaceful and strangely gentle about a late night snow fall. Everything is silent save for the soft swishing noise of falling snow, almost as if the time has stilled.
The Da, the Big Lug, and the Wrestler spent yesterday tearing apart the upstairs bathroom. It's empty now, waiting to be refilled. Upon removing the tub they discovered that it was cast iron, not porcelain. Can you believe that, a cast iron tub? Believe you me, it was a bitch and a half to move. Not that I tried to help, I just stayed out of their way and corralled the dog (in my defense, it was very much a two man job).
As is appropriate, we watched Star Trek IV last night. It's a holiday tradition to watch Star Trek movies. (In fact the tapes that the Da had gotten about 10 years ago had been watched so often and were so worn out that we had to go out and buy the dvds for clarity's sake. </ tangent>) The Voyage Home isn't the greatest of the Star Trek movies but there's something awfully comforting about it. The jokes are still amusing and the chemistry between the cast is great. You can just tell that they were having a great time being together, filming another movie. Pumpkin pie and Star Trek movies = comfort food par excellance.
And because I haven't talked about it yet ( Lost )</ sarcasm>
A Jehovah's Witness just came by with a pamphlet. Poor guy, it's freezing out there.
