Oh pumpkin pie.....

I am both sad and relieved that I used the last of my pumpkin puree yesterday. I'm sad because we've already eaten one of the two pies I made yesterday, and since I don't have another pumpkin to roast, once we finish the second pie, that's it. But....I'm relieved because I've eaten more pumpkin pie in the past few weeks that I would've though possible.

It's oh so good.

I watched 'A Good Year' last night. Despite all the bad press it got, I really enjoyed it. Then again, I do have a huge acting crush on Russell Crowe ("acting crush" -- I am in love with him on the screen...based mostly on talent. I don't really want to make out with him or anything. I'm just impressed by some of the roles he's done). Anyway, Sonja did production design for that one, so she's proud of it.

I finally ran out of deodorant at the end of the week. So I went to Boots (British version of Longs/Walgreens) yesterday to buy deodorant and a toothbrush and also to check and see if I could find a substitute for my expensive hair product that I've also run out of. Sadly, deodorant here is most an aerosol affair. Which is completely strange. Can't just buy a stick of shower fresh Degree. So I sort of stood in the deodorant aisle for a few minutes, comparing the few non-aerosol options that I had (to be fair, the local Boots isn't too terribly big, so it doesn't have a lot of selection). They did have my same toothbrush though. Hooray! And, as luck would have it, I also found a cheap replacement for my depleted stock of hair product. Double hooray! It was a good run to Boots.

My fingernails and toenails are painted bright pink at the moment. I'm feeling cheeky.

I have three essays due within the next three weeks. Sadly, this means I won't be able to do anything extracurricular until they all get handed in. Maybe I can get a jump on things and hand them in early....

I got locked out last night. Took some pie over to Neighbor Clare's house. Sonja, Julian, and Conrad had gone to a movie, so I had the house to myself. Anyway, took the pie over, got to chatting, next thing you know, it's midnight. Try to let myself back into the house.....the chain is on the door. Whoops. Slept on Clare's couch. Apparently they assumed I was in my room asleep and thus put the chain on. Whoops.

Okay. I'm going to watch 'Time Bandits' now. I keep falling asleep during the opening credits. Oh. Tea first. Then movie. Then sleep.

Keep on truckin'.....
