We tried a new to us Japanese restaurant, Nagomi Sushi, yesterday for lunch. Cordelia and I both tried some sushi. Our conclusion was that even the things not labeled as spicy were too much for us. We ate everything anyway, but I definitely worried about reflux later on.

I ended up with a lot of CDs from the library yesterday. A bunch of things I’d had holds on for a while came in all at once. I have a bunch of DVDs I want to get through, too.

I need to run two loads of laundry today and change the sheets on our bed (which yields a third load of laundry). I’m not sure if I’ll manage any of that because I’ve got cramps that scream at me when I move. I have stuff I can take, but it effectively stops flow, too, so that I can’t get through my period unless I accept the cramps for a few days. This is new since I got rid of the IUD, and I am not at all pleased by it.

At any rate, I think most of what I’m going to do today is sitting around, reading, writing, and watching whatever takes my fancy. I’ve promised Cordelia that I’ll make her a list of light hearted movies that she might like, so I’m also going to be browsing the library site and Netflix and Hulu to see what I can find. I have no idea if screwball comedies will appeal, but I’m hopeful that she’ll like at least some of them.

I’ve started using Adium to get to AIM. There are things I don’t like about it, but they’re mostly small irritations that I’ll get used to. The one that’s bugging me most is that it puts an icon in the bar at the top of the screen. Every thirty seconds to a minute, the damned thing moves an inch to the left and then back. I catch just enough of that movement to think that something major has happened and then can’t figure out what.

I ended up with three television show DVDs. Fortunately, they're short run series but how am I supposed to shoehorn them in with my regular TViewing? They all have holds on them, so they can't be renewed.

Good luck finding light movies Cordelia wants to see. I can't even think of one.

I hate when that happens! I usually prioritize, in those cases, by how long it will take for me to get to the top of the hold list again if I don't finish. DVDs are mostly one week check outs here, so I can estimate a week and a half per person ahead of me on the hold list (things can stay on the hold shelf for up to six days but don't generally sit that long. I figure it averages to half a week).

We have Hulu, and they've got a bunch of old sitcoms like the Beverly Hillbillies and Bewitched and The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Hopefully, she'll find something that she likes there.

We get three weeks on all checkouts, so you'd think I'd be able to get through 10 hours of television. I just can't focus long enough to do more than an hour of television any more.

I hope those sitcoms work for Cordelia.
