Movie preview and whatnot

It's Friday! That is a good thing. I'm glad of it not because it signals the end of the work week, but moreso because it means I can stay inside under my electric blanket for two full days. It is COLD outside, people! Right now it's -9°F outside, but with the windchill it's -25. Blech. But today I prepared: long underwear, two pairs of socks, a blouse and sweater, a scarf wrapped around my head 3 times (thanks, adjrun, for making it extra-long!), my hat pulled down past my eyebrows, sunglasses to protect my eyes, fur-lined boots, gloves, and newly-sewn tight buttons to keep my winter coat closed. Supposedly next week it's going to get up into the 30s, which means that if there's no windchill it will feel like a 50° change in temperature. Heh. Break out the shorts and flip-flops, Chicagoland!

In other news, my cough is almost gone. I am glad of this.

Last night the Scientist and I braved the super-cold weather to drive downtown for a preview screening of Coraline. ( Thoughts and/or spoilers. )

I also got to see taraljc briefly, and celli even more briefly. Tara, as always, smelled lovely.
