Monday Morning. Yeck...

R's family were over yesterday, which is always an experience. We watched Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers. Here's a transcript of about 5 seconds worth:

Ian Mckellen: "He will need you, Aragorn, before this is done"
Jonathan (Age 2):"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

H (on the phone): "Tell him to chew the end off a toothpick and use that"
R: "J! do NOT squirt that in here!"

You get the idea. Its always a mistake to try and watch a movie with the family over. There's always too many other things going on: Someone has no idea about the plot and needs the cast explained to them over and over again; You're pausing every 3 seconds to accomodate the varying biological needs of those who have consumed too much food, drink, life, whatever.

And inevitably there are two or three cousins engaged in some kind of arcane activity which, judging by the sounds, involves some kind of cloven hoofed animal, a pair of hedging shears and Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass.

Despite all this however, we still managed to get everyone out of the place alive by around six, so I set to making Chicken Fried Rice, some of which we ate, and some of which J. took to school today, to get 5 extra credit points in English. We didn't do any grocery shopping this weekend, and I didn't get my cord done, so both of those may get done tonight. As for today, being Monday, I usually end up not getting a hell of a lot done. Tomorrow should be better. R. has ordered a new desk and its being delivered so I will work from home.

Alright that'll do it. Have a splendiferous day!
