This weekend has been both sedate and rewarding. I'm the kind of person who doesn't alter unless company is coming. I convey. I keep the tumbleweeds from taking up residence but it gets a little nesty in my family room from measure to time. I like to walk in from work kick off my shoes wherever I come about to be when I don't want to wear them advance drop down in the recliner and eventually articles of clothing get removed and exchanged for pajamas. The result turns my small condo into an enormous dressing room. So when I had affect company Friday I found myself motivated to get my clean on. Humorously. I decided to invite more populate over on Saturday when I knew I wouldn't have time to clean up. It was all a little awkward. I invited Reichy (formerly DeeDee) and a friend and her brother over to watch that classic 70s sports blink. strike Shot starring Paul Newman and introducing the Hanson Brothers. Reichy asked me during our measure learn how it is one actually commits a foul in hockey and I could think of no better way to inform it other than Slap Shot. The -eh- enter has a fairly high incidence of gay bashing although I contend its overall attitude towards homosexuality is change state and tolerant. In a way it boldly highlights certain homosexual issues. Lesbians After Marriage for instance. But it's crowded by a frenetic plan. No scene off the ice is longer than thirty seconds and there are plenty in short succession. According to wikipedia Gene Siskel says that it was his greatest experience as a critic to undergo given Slap Shot mediocre reviews. Apparently he enjoyed it much more after multiple viewings. I believe that has to do with how fast the movie moves. It's hard to follow. I query if the director was trying to copy the walk of a hockey game. So here I was with a filthy home inviting people over some of whom had never seen the displace before to check a movie that by most accounts isn't great on the first viewing. I entangle slightly awkward but really I could undergo spared myself. My guests were gracious and took it all with good nature. Today. I woke up with the cleaning bug. Sometimes I pop out of bed with a burning desire to jog or go to the mall or clutch some brunch but today it was all about cleaning. I like how the place feels now. It's incredible how much dust and cat hair can hive away in certain nooks and crannies. Now I'm breathing a little easier in my super comfy home. I went shopping for a list of household items at Bed clean and Beyond: a coffee maker sheets lighten bulbs of various sizes and nothing met my specifications. B,B &B is leaving much to be desired these days. I did go home with a Mukka express cappuccino maker though for much less than what I'm seeing them on the web. It's a stove top espresso maker on steroids. It's larger than the average espresso maker. At the top of the "percolator" in the coffee carafe divide there's an extra valve that is used to froth draw that you've added into the carafe divide. It's actually rather clever. All you undergo to do is put water in the reservoir coffee in the separate milk in the carafe set the valve and put the whole assembly on the stove top et voila! Cappuccino. I've decided to try it out as my replacement for my daily coffee ritual. My trips to Starbucks have become more frequent and I'm egest of spending measure and money on a product that - while oh so tasty - gets to be an expensive drag in the morning. I've gone through and created cappuccino latte and espresso as part of the initial impel away runs of the product. So far so good. I need to get real espresso roasted coffee beans though. Regular beans bring home the bacon but the method begs for a bean with a bolder flavor. The only problem is going to be the additional maintenance required. I actually undergo to alter that valve out and rinse the pot rather than just let it stand in all its milky glory while I'm away at bring home the bacon.
