DQs

i don't mean dairy queen and i don't mean dis-qualified. i'm talking Day-Quil. i'm home ill today due to an unfortunate combination of sleep deprivation, moving in the rain all weekend, and an office with the thermostat stuck at 55 degrees. i'm trying to get some work done, but i'm fading fast. i haven't posted in a while, so here are a few headlines to catch you up.

we received our last wedding gift this weekend. a piece of abstract art from S's aunt kara. only a year and a month late...better late than never right? i'll be hanging it in the living room this weekend. i also want to hang our flat panel tv in the living room. too bad we don't own one yet...

i haven't seen a movie in the theater for a bit. this weekend we caught little miss sunshine. i wasn't impressed. after countless people enthusiastically suggested i go, i caved and went along. my gut reaction to the trailers was one of indifference. the movie was somewhat entertaining and it did have it's moments, but overall it was dark comedy and i'm not recommending it to anybody. not even for a rental.
