d_trektone_wSo far, this Labor Day weekend has gotten off to a good start. Last night, despite feeling a bit tired, I saw "The Bourne Ultimatum" before I left San Francisco for home. It was fun, but for some reason I kept getting pulled out of the movie, thinking "Joan Allen is such a good actress -- is she really invested that scene?" or "David Strathairn is usually excellent -- why is this such a shallow character? Was it written this way?" and so on.
[One thing I've found: w/the iPhone I'm spending less time managing personal e-mail at home since I'm able to catch up while waiting for public transportation and such. Yay! I'm also using the camera function more than with my other cell because it's so easy to sync up and use (the Verizon service I have on the other phone only allows pics to be e-mailed). In the end I guess I'm paying for the downloadability anyway, but it's simple and convenient. Anyway ...]
When I got home I finished up the bottle of Himmelswein from Montelle Winery (white wine grape, sweet, easy to drink -- thanks![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pezazul!) I opened earlier this week. While watching U.S. Open tennis I videotaped, I pulled out my mountain dulcimer and started playing around with it. I'd been thinking about it earlier this year, around the same time I got hit with a bit of bouzouki lust again, and remembered it again while cleaning a couple of weeks ago. Went to bed thinking about chord inversions.
It was great to be able to read in bed after waking up this morning. Usually it's get up, take a shower and get to work or other tasks. It's been feeling like "go go go" in recent weeks so being lazy was nice. After finishing the book, I watched more U.S. Open tennis.
Went to the farmer's market in the lovely warm (not too hot) weather. Didn't get ice cream. Figs! Three kinds! Peaches and nectarines still looked yum, too. When I stopped by the goat cheese stall, the guy asked about mom -- that was so nice of him!
Then more watching tennis and dulcimer-ing (a separate post about the latter will happen).
I'll need to do some work this weekend, but I think I'll get into it tomorrow. Maybe a movie tonight.
