Netflix's German movie Brick was intriguing. People end up stuck in their building when a mysterious black wall suddenly surrounds it.

I thought the explanation at the end was solid (movies like that tend to either leave you without an explanation or have an explanation so basic that no explanation would have been better).

Matthias Schweighöfer (Ludwig Dieter in Army of Thieves, Jack of Hearts in Heart of Stone) stars in this.

PG&E doubled their damn rates. My landlady told me my electric bills should go down once they hook up the solar panels, which I thought they already did. There's supposed to be a bldg meeting about that Thursday, the odd thing is they're having the meeting 2 and a half hours after they normally leave.
I also got a new watch, the band on my old one broke, I was just going to have the band replaced but I found a nice watch in this second hand store that sends its money to cancer patients and they only wanted 5 dollars for it. It probably would have cost a lot more than 5 dollars if I just got a watchband at some other store. Plus, of course I'm all for helping cancer patients.
Looking forward to tonight, I'm going to the East Bay Gay Men's chorus concert!

I was so out of it when I got up this morning that I turned on the wrong stove burner when I was trying to make tea and I got a bunch of smoke in my apt. that stupid smoke alarm goes off if I just turn the stove on to do anything more complicated than make tea or if I turn the oven on at all unless I open the window and turn the stove fan and box fan on full blast (and, yes, I cleaned the oven). It's a pain because I love to watch TV or listen to music when I cook and I can't do that anymore because the fans are very loud and I can't hear the TV or music at all well when they're on.
I think deviled eggs go great with barbecue ribs so I hard boiled some eggies and put them in the fridge and I will devil them later.

Went to the grocery store, among other things I got some ketchup and whisky to make barbecue sauce, I have some baby back ribs I got out of the freezer and I'm gonna make cornbread.

Tunnel of Love
Journaling: The romance of summer! What do you love? Write about anything you feel sentimental about or that gets your heart pumping.
Creative: Write a love poem to anyone or anything you like

Well, I'm an August bank holiday baby (even if Mum says I shouldn't say that since I wasn't technically born on the bank holiday, but eh, close enough), so I always had my birthday in the summer holidays rather than having to spend it at school (which I later found out I would have had to have done had I gone to school in Scotland rather than England, where the holiday dates are different).

But what I would mostly say for summer memories is spending time with family (bit of context for anyone who hasn't known me very long or doesn't know me at all, my family is pretty much scattered across the UK) so the summer holiday was always the chance to spend time with people I didn't see enough of.

I'm just hanging around here until I have to go to physical therapy this afternoon, looking forward to going to skeptics in the pub tonight once I hear from Dave. My legs hurt too damn much to go swimming the other day. I wish my neighbors would shut up, they're yelling at eachother, I don't know what they're arguing about and it's none of my business anyway but one of them has a very annoying voice.

Well, I have employment to March next year. Which is interesting, because usually it would be until January - ie. "6 months". That said, they will be getting 6 months out of me because of the vacation. So...

Anyway, continued employment (shy of colossally screwing up) is assured. Huzzah.

Had some orange blossom tea. I would have loved to get together with L. today but she was busy. Forwarded some SS threatening shit to my dad at his request and got a bracelet repaired by this super nice lady who works at one of the bookstores in my neighborhood (the jewelry stores were all closed, contrary to what it said on my cellphone). I heard today was world chocolate day so I went to my favorite cafe to get a piece of chocolate peanut butter roll cake but they stopped selling it. Booooooo! They didn't do the lemon cake anymore either, I know there's no chocolate in that but I really love that lemon cake too. Double boo! Ordered some new teas, one Yunan for me and one red chai for L. Talked to T. and confirmed that he will be picking me up Friday at 4:30 to go to the concert. I have been wanting to go to the movies lately but nothing seems to be playing around other than movies I already saw and wasn't that impressed with and the usual superhero bullshit. I heard there's something around called Fucktoys that sounded really interesting but it's not playing around here.
