Well, on one hand, I am working and have been somewhat productive this morning. On the other hand… I’m at home right now, working from the kitchen. As I was leaving work last night, my car’s transmission started seriously acting up, so rather than take the risk that it MIGHT get me home okay, I called AAA and had them tow it to the Saturn dealership. So, right now, I’m in the kitchen, logged into the corporate VPN, and have my office phone unconditionally forwarded to my cell phone. I’ve already taken care of a couple of support calls, but for the most part I would have rather been at the office.
I went and saw Delirium on Saturday, as I stated before. I rather enjoyed it, but my parents did a little less so. I think the problem was that Delirium was much more of a concert performance, with the dancers and acrobats being a bit less involved. I love the music in Cirque du Soleil shows, but for my parents it’s more about the on-stage performers. The opening act was a woman named Nitza, whose performance I really liked. Too bad she doesn’t appear to have any CDs for sale on Amazon or the iTunes Music Store… I also looked at getting the double CD set for Solarium and Delirium at the event, but they wanted $45 for it. I can get it for about $26 off Amazon. I’ll just have to remember to order it at some point.
I went out to dinner with Robin again on Sunday night… just dinner at Chili’s, but it was still nice to get out of the house and see her. We’re already making plans for doing something on Friday, but it really depends on whether there’s a movie she’s wanting to watch and whether we can get a table at the Cheesecake Factory in decent time to catch a movie. I’d rather go to Cheesecake Factory than see a movie if I’m forced into a choice, but that’s just me. At least at dinner we can talk. :-) Though, granted, while I’m partial to V for Vendetta and wouldn’t mind any other movie… I’m tempted to avoid Failure to Launch as I’ve already gotten shit from coworkers about it being similar to my living situation…
Oh, well. In the meantime, I should call Saturn and find out how my car is doing. Fun fun…
