Oh man...Ladyhawke. I saw that on TV as a kid the first time and had to revisit as an adult just to appreciate it completely. Great film!

The weather was good on both the 9th and the 10th. So, the three of us went out walking on both of those days, after dinner. BH and I also watched one episode on each of those days, finishing Season Two of Sneaky Pete. Season Three has not come out, so we'll have to watch something else for awhile. I'll mention Black Mirror to him if/when I get a good opportunity.
The weather is less cheerful today, I don't think it's rained yet, but it is overcast, and 50°. Rainy and highs in the low 50's throughout the coming week. Until next week Wednesday, when it's supposed to get up to 60° and no rain.
This concludes my riport.

At the end of August, the three of us will fly out to Utah (to visit my family). This will leave the cats alone for a few days, so we are hiring a lady to stop by once a day, and tend to their needs. This lady stopped by yesterday to meet Snowbunny and to meet the cats. That happened at about 4:30 p.m.
Brother-Husband wanted to turn in relatively early, so he and I did not watch anything on TV. Dinner last night was chicken soup (leftover but still excellent).

No episodes yesterday. There was a hockey game on. I'm thinking that the Maple Leafs were playing, but they weren't winning. BH was bummed. Expletives were heard.
Dinner was canned soup, nothing fancy. And bread/butter. Overall, things have been more boring than usual lately. I'm working on reading two books: the Jealousy Workbook, and, the Book Your Church Doesn't Want You To Read.

For perhaps as much as the past year, Snowbunny and I have been, basically scheduling sex, for once every other week. And then, only every other encounter involves intercourse. So that happens about once a month. This is okay with us, it's what works for us. My libido has slowed down a lot over the past ten years; Snowbunny had a slower libido in the first place. So, anyway, TMI I know, but some of you out there may have been interested to know. Today was this month's encounter with intercourse. The sex is still good, I just don't feel an overwhelming need for it. It takes me awhile to get warmed up.
So after that, we drove out to Lacey, to the Lowe's where Brother-Husband works (he was out doing deliveries), and picked out a dryer. Okay Snowbunny picked out a dryer. I just kind of stood to the side and approved, I trust her judgment. After that, we ate out (at a Mexican place we like). After that, we went shopping at, oh hell, I forgot the name of the place. It was also in Lacey.
We did not watch anything on TV, because I had decided to only watch something every other week (the weeks when we don't have sex). The week before, Snowbunny had confessed that she would prefer to watch something only once a month. I had preferred every week, so every other week seemed like a good compromise.
Brother-Husband got home around 4:30 p.m. ... he is watching a hockey game right now. It has been raining the whole day as far as I know. Right now the temperature is 52°.

WinCo. That was the name of the place we shopped at yesterday. It's a big grocery store, not always as good of a selection but good prices.
And correction, it was actually two weeks ago when Snowbunny confessed to preferring to only watch something once a month.
Oh and the hockey games, I don't think it was the Maple Leafs (Brother-Husband's favorite team) that were playing, but I think the Penguins were playing and Brother-Husband hates the Penguins and the Penguins were winning (see Post #925).
So Sunday is the one day of the week when all three of us are home throughout the day. Sometimes we end up driving some places together, but today there are no plans yet.
Dinner yesterday was chili poured over a potato. This concludes my riport.

It might have been the Leafs after all ... oh I don't know, I'm so confused.
So last night, BH and I watched the first episode of Black Mirror. Not bad. We will continue to work our way through that series. I think there's four seasons so far, they're short, only six episodes per season tops, Season One only has three episodes.
For dinner last night we ate at Pho Yelm. We were considering Young's and Ichibahn (sp?), but they were both closed on Sunday.
We didn't go anywhere else yesterday. BH and SB worked on some projects around the house. My job was to stay out of the way ...

Last night, BH and I watched Episode Two of Black Mirror Season One. It was okay, but I liked Episode One better. As each episode is a stand-alone, any two episodes can differ a lot in terms of mood and storyline. So we'll see how Episode Three is.
For dinner last night, SB made a stir-fry, veggies, egg, chicken, pineapple. I thought it was good, but SB decided the recipe was a non-keeper.
Not a lot has happened today so far. BH has been working in and outside the house, I've mostly been glued to the computer.

This past Tuesday, BH and I watched Episode Three. It was pretty good. The plot revolved around a prospective future technology where people could replay memories exactly and in detail. Which in and of itself doesn't make it a good episode, but the lines and acting were realistic and engaging. So, I'm looking forward to Season Two.
Yesterday was BH's first day back to work, and he was tired when he got home, so we didn't watch an episode. Probably won't today either, but we'll see. Dinner yesterday was pre-made burritos.

Yesterday, as usual for Saturday, SB and I went out for lunch, then went shopping (at our local Walmart). We also went out to visit a couple of nurseries, SB was looking for a particular plant, but no luck. After that we watched a couple of L&O:SVU episodes. Later, after dinner (and the end of a hockey game -- the Leafs won), BH and I watched Episode One of Black Mirror Season Two. It was pretty good. Interesting. It kind of explored the pros and cons of a future technology where you could simulate a person who had passed away.
No plans for going out today, although that could change. Mostly I'll just be catching up on some internet stuff. And doing some reading.

We did not go out anywhere yesterday, also no episode, we had dinner late (leftovers) and BH had to get up early today (early for a day off). Someone came over to remove an old heater in the back room. A couple of guys from Lowe's just showed up, and are delivering a new dryer. Also someone's supposed to come over later to look at the roof, there are a couple of problems there that need to be fixed.
It's warm enough that the windows are open ... 66°. Clear overhead. Tomorrow and Wednesday will get into the upper 70's. Thursday will get up to 82°! After that it will cool off a lot and rain.

So the roof guy actually came out today instead of yesterday. He spent some time checking things out and talking to BH. He was saying his group will come out again for a more detailed inspection.
Last night a hockey game was on, and we did not watch any episodes. Don't know how tonight will shake out. BH is out running errands right now I think.
SB made a stir-fry for dinner last night. This concludes my riport.

SB prepared fish (salmon) for dinner last night, with wild rice and brussel sprouts. BH and I did watch an episode after that.
This coming Saturday, my "ex-SIL" will get remarried. I have met her fiancé on a number of occasions, he seems like a nice/cool/fun-loving guy. The wedding will be casual dress; lucky for me as I don't have anything formal to wear. I'll pick out a polo shirt to wear.
The high today is supposed to be 77°. Tomorrow it's supposed to get up to 83°. After that it will only get up into the 50's and 60's. This concludes my riport.

Re: Black Mirror
I have probably seen a half dozen episodes of Black Mirror. MrS had watched some and thought I would like it. I do! I like watching a series with "stand alone" episodes - that way we can watch together or separately. And he can pre-screen them so I can skip any that he doesn't think I will enjoy as much (since he doesn't mind watching them a second time). Or if he is in the mood for a new one then we can watch together.
MrS and I haven't watched "Shameless" in a while - he doesn't watch that one without me. Dude got me the boxed set of Harry Potter for our anniversary - unfortunately he falls asleep half-way through! (So I see the second half of each one twice!)
That description reminds me of a movie we watched recently - "Marjorie Prime"
The boys and I also recently watched "Ash and the Evil Dead" (what there is of it). Apparently Bruce Campbell is "done" now that it was cancelled. Hard to watch anything more than a single movie together with all of us on different schedules.
- I had noticed that you hadn't been posting weather reports - and then you DID!
Here we FINALLY had Spring for a minute! We had SNOW last week for crying out loud

Today it's supposed to get quite warm, 82°. Tomorrow the bottom drops out, 61° and rain. It won't get warm again for about a week.
Overall I like Black Mirror so far, although I think some episodes are better than others. I still like Season One Episode One the best.

S01E01 was the National Anthem, right? That one was powerful. I think I struggled a bit overall with the oppressive atmosphere in the episodes I've watched. I suppose that's mostly the point of the whole series, though.
Regarding music, when I asked you last time – I was wondering, do you miss playing an instrument? I find that most people who are into art in one form or the other do need to pour a sort of creative energy into something.
