Wrote a long post last night about the events of the last few days, and just when I was wrapping up my browser crashed and took the whole thing. I hate when that happens. I'm not going to rewrite the whole thing, so here's a brief summary:

  • Met many people at Whole Foods. Former boss not recognized and given distracted, non-committal wave. Which was about the ideal reaction.
  • Saw Suspiria at Carolina Theatre. Still creepiest movie ever. Cree-pee.
  • Leaning over balcony at the Carolina while wearing short skirt: very bad idea. Having a friend there to warn me that my ass was hanging out: better.
  • Pennies from Heaven: not as successful as The Singing Detective but shares the hallmarks of a Dennis Potter movie: dark, strange, ambitious, misogynist. Very misleading trailer.
  • Free mulch madness at the landfill over. Mulch sales may begin again next week.
  • Made a new dress yesterday afternoon. Finished the whole thing in five hours. Well, almost -- hem safety pinned in place and etc. Made me feel like a Project Runway contestant.
  • Mount Fuji: good food, annoying waiter who said "we" as if he was going to sit down and order with us.
  • Jesus Camp: not as scary and infuriating as expected.
  • Met a former neighbor at the theater before Jesus Camp who now works for the W3C.
  • Fast Food Nation trailer leaves no doubt as to why McDonald's didn't want them to film inside stores.

I remember seeing Suspiria on cable when I was pretty young - and being so on edge that for hours afterward every unexpected sound would make me scream!

What browser do you use? If it's Firefox, I can recommend the SessionSaver extension highly to guard against that type of crash.
