*phew*

Painted the old place yesterday. I got a first coat on almost 3 rooms... and hurt my back, big time.

Didn't know that until this morning, of course.

It will be better in a few days, I think.

Anyway. Sobbed last night because the move has been lots of work, and I'm already tired of living unsettled and tired.

Feeling better today.

Had my first bath in the new tub!! It is wider and deeper than the old one. And white, not godawful pink. HURRAH.

Today was the start of a new project, and during the day the VP (the same one that caught me sending personal emails last week) called me a Senior Tester (as well as he should, as I am, but still, the first time he said it in public, to a client), and also made sure to say in front of everyone that I am in charge of the project.

It was very affirming.

And almost made up for the stress I felt of trying to get the test outline complete in time while dealing with last weeks project and my second resource (a junior tester who gets confusd).

We saw Batman Begins last night, and it was great. Really, really good. I already want to see it again. I wanted to see it again as soon as it ended.

I mean, ok. Definite schmaltz moments. And Katie Holmes. But she sucks WAY less than Kirsten Dunst in... well... anything that isn't Bring it On or Interview with a vampire. So I forgive her. Even if she's doing TC right now.

But some shots were SO GOOD. And Gary Oldman!! And Cillian Murphy!! And and!!! And!!!

Yeah. If you like movies like that, see it.

If you don't, I refuse to recommend it. :P

(So, malaka, tell Richard to see it, but don't YOU go! ;)

My plan to bike to work this morning was derailed by the back issue, but I'm going to treat my back well this week, because on Wednesday I MUST GO TO YOGA WITH lumpy_lia, RIGHT???

There's so much to say, but as each day goes by, I think less and less that I'm going to ever be able to catch up.

*sigh*

Congrats on the bathtub, deep and wide. And, yes, Batman Begins! It was what I hoped that one 20 years ago (or whenever would be). And a pro-activist message?! "It's not what we are inside that counts but what we do."

[freakykitten.livejournal.com]

I know! I loved the activist message. It was fantastic.

Although I didn't hate the first Batman movie, actually.

I feel like i'm way behind in LJ too... so don't stress about it.

I'm glad things are starting to settle.. take care of your back!!

[malaka.livejournal.com]

I've missed you!

Congrats on the compliment from the VP!

Why wouldn't I like Batman? I wanted to go see it this weekend. In fact, I rented the ps2 game this weekend and I've been playing. Just when you think you know me... ;)

[freakykitten.livejournal.com]

Well, actually, I figured I have such bad luck when I actually *do* suggest things to you, I'd play it safe and say "don't go!" and then you'll like it. :P

[maleficum.livejournal.com]

Oh, don't you just love the first bath in the new home? Something about that just screams "This place is mine now!"

Or maybe I'm just weird. But I'm glad you like your new tub anyway. :)

[sinndar.livejournal.com]

Ah, a bath in the new tub, that's not PINK. That's always nice. :)

So you're going to do yoga? That's great!!

[gruggach.livejournal.com]

Way to go, senor!

[mel-nic.livejournal.com]

LOL over the "Katie Holmes doing TC" comment.

And *yay* for moving in...I can't wait till you can post some pics...:)

[loesaurus.livejournal.com]

Is the blue coveing up pretty well? Painting sucks when it's maintenance rather than creativity. :)

Soon, soon you will be done. I'm so glad that you guys have a new place.

Kirsten Dunst in... well... anything that isn't Bring it On or Interview with a vampire. Bahahahahah! Those are the only two movies I actually like her in too!

i wanna go see batman begins, so much. i was crazy for tim burton's batman back in 89 and everyone tells me this one kicks that one's ass soundly, so, yay!

[rennmaus.livejournal.com]

Hey hoorrrray to senior tester - wow!!!

I think that Batman is no movie for me... but I like the way that Katie Holmes looks. I think she is cute. I also can not believe that she is engaged to TC...

Yeah I also have to start yoga again...

[spinsterbait.livejournal.com]

I've been hearing good things about the Batman movie. I totally ignored until a few people that really hated the earlier ones (not, of course, including the fabulous original Batman movie, but that's in a class of its own ;-) started saying that this was different. I'll try and catch it in the theatres.

P.S. Congrats on the affirmment!
