Assorted News

The weather the last few days has been totally utterly gorgeous, so I have been trying to finish very last minute stuff outside -- easier said than done.

Saturday, S. came by and helped me put a new storm door on the porch. The old one was ok and in fair shape, but there was no extra window to cover the screen part anymore. So I saved it and maybe in the spring I will use it when building a potting shed. We shall see. Meantime, the new door opens on the left, while the old one opened on the right. That will take some getting used to again.

Sunday I spent around the house as well. TCM ran the new restored version of "Metropolis", so I made sure to watch that. Fascinating, and the extra scenes in the film copy discovered in Argentina in '08, it made things a lot clearer. Then I watched a documentary on the '08 rediscovery, which again was utterly fascinating. Or at least it is if you are a silent film geek. :) The next movie was another Lang film, "Spies" but I am afraid by that time I was sliding out of the chair, so I went to sleep watching it. Regrettably, I missed "M" -- I do wish that TCM would show some of these older films a little earlier -- 3am showings are just a bit much for me anymore (especially considering I hadn't slept in about 3 days. *sigh*)

Yesterday, there was a lot of napping and I went to bed early (before 10pm) and totally forgot about syfy's "Manga Mondays". :/

Other than that... not much has been going on. And now for another early night.
