I did a bike ride Monday morning (8/7) then took a quick shower before heading to the Laundromat. I can’t beat it, I got 3 dialysis quilts washed, plus the tablecloth quilt I made for us….all for 8 bucks. My washer almost ALWAYS goes unbalanced when I try to wash even a small quilt (or towels….or sheets.....or even sweatshirts sometimes!!!) and then starts the cycle all over again with more water!!!
I decided to treat myself to a ‘’small cakes’’ cupcake on my way home….only to find out they have decided to close on Mondays :~(. I thought about it and decided no problem…..I’ll stop at Dunkin’ Donuts for some Praline Pecan ice cream….but they were out :~(. What's a gal to do? The small vanilla ice cream cone from McDonald’s in NO WAY assuaged my feelings of disappointment…..but, that didn’t stop me from snarfing it down!!!
Marcia & Maury swung by to pick up their quilt….and shortly afterwards, my honey was home from 9 holes of golf. They didn’t tee off until close to 11 AM…and Michael said the heat was BRUTAL!
I spent the afternoon checking out new quilting patterns to start, and basting a new customer quilt:
We had leftover Chinese for dinner and started to watch a new TV show called DARK SNOW. The premise is that a young high school aged woman was murdered 25 years ago…and the school has now opened a time capsule from that era and there are clues about the death in it. It is set in Australia and it sucked us right in!!! Then we tried to watch a DEATH IN PARADISE after that, but we both fell asleep half way through….so we’ve gotta watch that again :~).
And here's June and Laura at QUILTVILLE INN:
*** MMR – Michael’s Movie Reviews ***
Oppenheimer, is a 3 hour opus to the physicist who made the atom bomb possible and ended WWll. In doing so he put the world in a position to destroy itself. The movie does not flow chronologically, starting with Oppenheimer facing a congressional investigation of his past in connection with communism. Testimonies from friends and enemies are interspersed with flashbacks to his early life and his working on the Manhattan project in Los Alamos. I found that the most interesting part; if somewhat disjointed. Many characters were very soft spoken in the film and continuous background music drowned out (for me, and my friend as well) 30% to 40% of what was said in these more subdued moments. However, sound effects, the actual bomb testing noises and how Oppenheimer’s thinking processes were made, were used magnificently.
Cillian Murphy plays Oppenheimer very well; Robert Downey plays Lewis Strauss, kind of an enemy, and Matt Damon was general Groves, he seemed a bit miscast.
Over all a good movie, but a little over long. At the end of bio movies I like a written summary of info about all the main characters and what happened to them but that did not occur. Points lost! 3 fat quarters out of 5
*** I HATE having a messy house! Not enough to actually clean it…but enough to give it a really disgusted stare from my seat on the couch. ***
