Stuff.

So it seems my body no longer likes Daylight Savings Time. This morning I woke up a half hour early. This is after waking up early on both Saturday and Sunday mornings. What the hell, body? Do you no longer enjoy sleeping in like some kind of sloth who ODed on NyQuil? Bah.

This weekend I finally got around to watching Let the Right One In with my sister-in-law J. She had seen the American remake (Let Me In) and wanted to compare/contrast. She liked them both, but liked Chloe Grace Moritz (aka Hit-Girl) better than the girl who played Eli in the Swedish version. Seeing as how I never saw the remake, I have to say that I liked the movie. Very slow, but very good.

I also took down all of the Halloween decorations this weekend. Scratch that, I forgot about the Jack Skellington head lights that are still hanging in our front window. But the Scientist thinks I should just transfer those to the back window. Maybe I'll do that and add some festive Christmas lights as well so I'm ready for that season when it hits.

He and I went for a walk at Argonne yesterday. Guess what happened. Guess! I got ticks. That's a new experience for me. Yay, nature! Thankfully when the Scientist saw them they were just crawling on me and hadn't bitten/burrowed yet. In happier news, we discovered that Argonne has an unused swimming pool over by the summer student lodging as well as a frisbee golf course. And I got to see where they used to bury their nuclear waste, so that's fun. AND I got to touch part of the Omega bellows from the old particle accelerator. I bet most of YOU haven't touched part of a particle accelerator. (Though I'm sure several of you have had ticks.)
