Whew! It's been a busy July. I finished up a ballet, am now in the midst of designing the next thing, and ready to pick up the script to design the one after that. Donald and I finally got the house in a state to receive visitors! There is still more to do, including decorating, but now we don't have to step over boxes any more.
Movies lately:
Hellboy 2. Very different movie than the first one. I enjoyed it, but not enough to see it again.
Live Free of Die Hard: Enjoyable enough, but completely bullshit in many many places.
Juno: Fantastic. Loved the dialogue.
The Dark Knight: Also fantastic. Can't wait to see it again.
The Whole Nine Yards: Donald hadn't seen it so we netflixed it. Fun movie.

Just stuff
It's snowing again. This winter has been more up and down than any other winter I can remember. I'm sooo ready for spring.
Yesterday D and Mike and I went downtown to look at an art gallery and get some culture. The exhibit was okay, and then we walked over to get a look at the Sprint Center up close. It looks fine, by the way. I kind of would like to go to an event there, but I haven't heard of anything I'd go to. It didn't seem cold when we set out, but it sunk in as we walked. By the time we had our look around we were more than ready to get back in the nice warm car.
Later we got dinner at Accurso's, which we hadn't been to for quite awhile. I wanted dessert, but we decided to wait until we weren't so full. After driving around doing other stuff, we ended up at Applebee's for dessert. Their dessert menu has shrunk since the last time I looked. They have added dessert shooters, which are one of 5 options in a big shot glass for $2. I got the hot fudge sundae and it was just the right size for me. It was the right size at the time, but in general it just whetted my appetite for hot fudge.

Nothing terribly interesting has been happening lately. I worked a bit more on the UMKC show, and I should be done with it now. I cooked on Monday night. I tried a new pork chop dish. It was okay, and Donald liked it well enough. I got tired of it the second time I ate it so I don't think I'll be making that one again. I really enjoyed the pork chop part though. I'll have to get pork chops more often.
I've washed dishes almost every day this week. I'm very tired of washing dishes. Period. I want a dishwasher. Maybe we can get one in our new place. We're moving in a few months! My dad is buying a house from a nice old fellow on the next block. We're going to rent from him. We'll have 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a garage! We'll be able to keep the car indoors!! That's going to be awesome. I'm also looking forward to not hauling everything I buy up the stairs anymore. That's especially troublesome after I go to Costco. It's a 1 story ranch style so it's not a cute house, and it doesn't have a porch. But it's solid, well insulated, and not owned by the university. It does have a small back patio, and we may be able to build a deck over it.
Donald and I watched Shoot Em Up last night. The title says it all- there's a lot of shooting. Very well choreographed shooting! It was pretty much great. If you're in the mood for some fun action that's not dragged down by a lot of plot, rent this. Clive Owen is badass. It's an hour and a half of pure entertainment.
