Stardust
It was my time to make my weekly trek into Austin...after giving the car a quick wipe down, I cruised into Drafthouse just in time to order a goat cheese salad and enjoy the movie Stardust...it was 'baby day' at the theatre- normally you cannot bring children to the Drafthouse (yet another reason we enjoy the place), but they have one day a week where parents can bring children and allow them to rant and cry all the want...I was cool with that, and there was a little blond girl who was happier playing on the steps with the string of lights in the floor than watching the movie...but she was cute and didn't make noise..and I know going in that its baby day, so hey - if the kids cry, so be it...
I enjoyed the movie more than I thought...I'm not big on Claire Danes, but she was pretty decent...Michelle Pfeiffer was gorgeous and really good and DeNiro was nutty...I didn't read the book, so I didn't know the story, but it was fun all the same...on the way home, I saw dark clouds, so I pulled over just in time to put the top up and about 100 yards from me the clouds opened and the rain came down...timing is everything...but now its sunny again...I don't think it even rained here at the house...
I'm off to get to work...things to do, and all that...more stitched pieces are framed and ready to be picked up...I'm hanging stuff all over the house, its crazy...I spotted yet ANOTHER giant spider in a different part of the yard (near the bird house) but it was so high in the sky, I couldn't tell what it was...when I came home, it had disappeared...maybe a bird got him...
