The witching hour is upon us

It’s midnight, movie night is over (we watched Zodiac, a bit slow in parts but good), and everyone has toddled on home. Sarah’s already asleep like a good student should be…

So I’m all alone in the quiet of the house…

as Dave was leaving, I found my nail clippers, which I had been on the point of tearing my house apart for earlier. But I decided to let it go, to not panic. So when Dave was heading out, he asked, “where would your clippers be?” and I replied “right here,” reached down, and picked them up. I swear I looked there earlier, but such is the way of seeking and finding,

German-themed movie night

My first themed movie night went well! I couldn’t find much in the way of sausages (I bought some brats and maple breakfast sausages at Stop & Shop) but everyone seemed to love ’em. I also couldn’t find the brands of beer I had in Germany, though I did find some German beer at a local liquor store, which was tasty enough.

We also had some German chocolate I brought back, and some coffee Hagan-Daas.

Then we watched Run Lola Run.

Good fun.
