Life has been good for the most part, though work continues to be stressful, and will for the foreseeable future. In other news, I'm working on a cross-stitch project for a coworker of mine who is due in October; said project being where all of my (not so) copious free time is now going to, in order to try to make it by her due date.
An amusing note, if you read my last entry about a shipment of music boxes that were sent to us to be analyzed for lead paint. I had rather wondered what we would do about them and what *is* the proper disposal for music boxes as samples. Well, today at the periodic[1] company luncheon, I found out.
*drum-roll*
Apparently, the proper disposal technique for music boxes as samples is to raffle them off to your employees, after the testing is complete.
As-is.
Which means, whatever paint got scraped off, oh well.
I didn't win one, which is probably just as well since I don't need and couldn't use one.
Saw Stardust, finally, after almost despairing of finding a local movie theater that was showing it. Liked it for the most part, though I was surprised at some of the changes. On the whole, I would have rather they kept the original story, although since Gaiman produced the movie, one would hope he had approved the changes. Said changes were, by and large, not too bad. The most egregious in my mind was the whole final battle at the Lilim's residence[2]. That seemed really unnecessary for me, and I kinda liked the original ending, with her/them surviving. Oh, well. It was good, anyway.
[1] I say periodic, because there really does not seem to be a set schedule for these. It's not monthly. It's not quarterly. It seems to fall somewhere between monthly and quarterly. Whatever, I'm not about to argue with free food.
[2] House? Palace? Castle? What would you call that sort of building, anyway? Hall?
