...I say, happy easter!
how's your Sunday going? I'm still doubled over with my stupid back. I am completely crooked. It's not nice.
What is nice though is that we had a lovely lunch at my mum & dad's today. We hadn't been out to see them in a while so it was a nice, albeit short visit. Because my back was all messed up, I couldn't sit for all that long so we sort of ate and ran.
Since we've been home, I've been laying down, just popping in to the computer every once in a while to queue up movies. we've been watching a lot of movies this weekend. it's been fun though, nothing too serious. We saw Happy Feet earlier. Very cute. Not too preachy, I was expecting it to be preachy because I'd heard that and read it in reviews. It had a message but in my opinion, it wasn't over the top.
Continuing in the theme of spending way too much time in front of the television this weekend, we're on pins and needles about the new episode of the Sopranos tonight. I'm a little sad that it's the end of the show but I'm sure that these last 9 episodes will be excellent.
ouch, I've now officially spent too much time in this chair. Back to the couch for me.

the health report
I'm happy to report that Syd seems to be feeling better. He's perked up a bit and while he's not chomping on his food as soon as we drop it in the tank, it's disappearing so, presumably, he's eating it.
I'm not so happy to report that my back is a little messed up. I think I slept in too late this morning, in the wrong position, with the window open, and I'm paying for it now.
Fortunately, we didn't have much planned for today. Mark will help me with the laundry (the carting of it up and down the stairs part) and we're going to pretty much veg out and watch movies. He told me he wanted to watch something really stupid so I think we're going to start with Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. If that's not stupid enough, I have Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny. I'm sure that will be enough dick and fart jokes to make up for all of the dramas, documentaries and foreign language films we've been watching just recently.

good friday
I love a long weekend.
today is a holiday here. I have booked off Monday as well so yay, four-day weekend for me!
we didn't really sleep in this morning, although we totally could have. I'm glad that I got up relatively early.
already this morning I have changed the bed, done a load of laundry, dusted knick-knacks in the kitchen and read a whole bunch of emails.
I am trying really hard not to care that it is supposed to snow all weekend, I'm just happy to have a whole day off with nowhere to go.
yay!

what up syd?
betta fish have minds of their own. I don't think that they are stupid like some folks would have you believe. our betta, syd, definitely has a personality and a stubborn streak.
he's been sulking for a few days. at first we thought that his tank needed cleaning. mark cleaned it. then we thought that water wasn't warm enough, we turned up the heater. then we figured that maybe his food was stale, we bought new stuff last night.
I still can't tell if he's eating. everything I read and the fish people I talk to say that he's okay, he looks good. he's just in a pissy mood.
still, it bothers me. after dr. zoidberg died suddenly last fall, I am really cautious around syd. our goldfish, I don't worry so much about but him, I do.

won't get fooled again
did you get fooled yesterday?
I did not get fooled. Neither did Mark. We didn't actually decide not to try to fool each other, we really didn't think about it.
I guess we sort of got fooled by the weather. We went out, early afternoon to take a little drive and do a few errands. The sky opened up almost immediately after we left the house and we were sort of rained out. Not fun.
Some smart cookie in our office made up a coffee gag which a couple of folks actually fell for. We have free coffee where I work and someone set up a sign up sheet, posters, and collection can, to try and convince folks that we now had to pay 59 cents for coffee.
I can completely understand how people fell for it, after all, it was early Monday morning and goodness knows, before coffee, most of us would believe just about anything!!
