Others writing the Sunday Somethings: Kerry
Something that made me happy this week: Being flirted with by an eight-month old cutie who learned she can wrap people around her finger by smiling and tilting her head to one side. Completely adorable.
Something i struggled with this week: I have “Nintendo thumb”. Apparently when i was a child and played video games more frequently, i had some sort of callous that enabled me to play many hours w/o problem. But today… my thumb hurts.
Something tasty i ate this week: We had absolutely superb Indian food at The Udupi Cafe in Cary.
Something i learned this week: After reading a fair amount about the Freemasons in Dan Brown’s latest book, i did some more research on them. His book is full of some weird shit, especially towards the end. I’ve concluded after more reading that that’s all it is – weird shit.
Something from the bridge table: Next week (!) Lance and i are heading the a national bridge tournament in San Diego. Neither of us felt particularly focused or on top of our game as we played together this week. But i think we’ll have fun all the same.
Some things i am doing towards my goals: Absolutely nothing. I mostly just sat on my butt this week.
Something i am reading: Loving Frank by Nancy Horan.
Something happening around the house: Today we spent most of the day playing the new Super Mario for Wii.
Something i am thinking: I wonder if Nathan and i can really write a book about our correspondence.
Something i am looking forward to next week: Nathan and Heather coming to visit, and the release of New Moon, the movie.
Something i am hoping: That New Moon the movie is better than New Moon the book. This happens rarely, in my experience, but i think this could be one of the instances that breaks the trend.
Something random: On a whim, we bought a new dog bed for Nugent while we were at Sam’s today. He wouldn’t go near it for a few hours, but he did finally try it out a few times. As i type, i’m in bed and Nugent is actually curled up on his new bed. It remains to be seen if he’ll actually sleep on it all night, or if he’ll retreat under the bed once the light goes off.
Something captured: I’m a little Mario crazy today. We’ve beaten about one-third of the game.

I agree about New Moon… I definitely think there is big potential for it to be better than the book (I sure hope so!), and I’m also hoping it is better than the first movie!

I am hoping that New Moon the movie will be better than New Moon, the worst book ever…I disliked that book immensely and I found annoyance and hatred for Bella..
