Calling, flying, hiring, movie, Duchess

[cjsmith]

Square dance calling in Los Angeles on Sunday. TOMMYBURGER! Plus, on the flight back we got to see the sunset multiple times. It set before takeoff, "rose" as we climbed out, and set again a couple times in the air as it kept sinking behind various ridge lines.

I took cell phone video of a large fire 7mi east of Gorman. (Hey, don't look at me like that. I had the "phone" part of the phone turned off. (GSM phones make annoying noises in our headsets. (So does radar.))) Smoke topped out around 10,000 feet. I'm glad we were flying upwind of it.

STILL screening people for an opening at my company. Man, this is dragging. I have new insight into how much "hiring manager" means "major time suck". I also now realize, I think, some of the ways I tend to do well in interviews.

Rob and I watched "Sordid Lives" last night. I liked it. The stereotypes (on both "sides") were all there, but not too cardboard; the twits became more human as the film went on; we could laugh with the knowledge that we were also laughing at parts of ourselves.

Duchess continues to do well. She's perky, she's maintaining her (new) weight, and boy does she know the routine: the opening of the fridge door means treats coming soon.

Sordid Lives

Don't you love "Doctor Eve"? She's such a great character.

Watch some of the "deleted scenes", especially the one where the corpse speaks.

Doctor Eve was a basket case! Doesn't help that she slightly physically resembles some therapists around here, too. ;-)

Ooo, we didn't watch the deleted scenes! Must go do that.
