So the powder room has been a headache because there’s always something leaking. Turns out the basin of the toilet had a crack in it. So Ralph went and got a new one at lunch today and hopefully we can call it good tonight. I had a packed week this week, including some freelance and attending a lecture on growing veggies. Speaking of veggies, the green house tipped over in the wind when we forgot to bring it in last Friday night. So for a few hours on Saturday I was doing emergency transplants, using any container I could that had some heft to it. The only things I had on hand were boxes that you get from places like CostCo and Sam’s Club, so the tomatoes are in a tequila box, the various squash and eggplant are in a pizza dough box and some of my sugar snap peas are in a box that my fancy door knob came in.

Went and saw Underworld 2 last night. The highly anticipated sequel to a movie I really liked was a huge disappointment to me. In all honesty, it could have been due to my dark mood last night, but I’m really doubting that. First of all, who let the ugly, bad-acting guy (who played Michael Corvin) back in? Couldn’t we just say that after becoming a hybrid, he went and got his teeth fixed? Kate Beckinsale seemed to recapture Selene for the most part, but there was *something* missing. Perhaps falling in love and developing moo-cow eyes whenever she was looking at Michael made her seem less incredible than in the first movie. Maybe it was her newly developed quasi-sassy attitude (versus the hardcore attitude in the first movie), which I can only assume came about after killing the man she idolized as a father-saviour. I don’t know, but her persona lost its mystique.

It makes me think that if I didn’t like it, poor Ralph must have been planning all the ways he can hold this over my head (“No honey, I don’t think I can fix the plumbing today…Why? Well why did you make me sit through Underworld 2?”) because he didn’t much care for the first one. More that the plot line didn’t sit well with him than anything else. However, he seemed genuinely interested in seeing the sequel, so he can’t hold it over my head for too long.
