29 July
So I got a phone call yesterday from Philip about the fact that he needs four more publicity shots. Of course, I spent all Monday night in the darkroom, so God forbid that I had been asked this a couple of days ago, but I booked space to go in last night, anyway.
I left work early (no great loss, they shut the server down so I couldn't actually work or anything), went downtown, checked in at the darkroom, and couldn't find the negatives in question.
I keep all of my negs in my locker at the darkroom. Except for that set, natch, they were at my apartment.
Fortunately, they let me leave without paying for the time (the rule is that if you cancel your appointment less than three hours before the time in question, you have to pay pay pay) and I'm going back tomorrow, but it was pretty annoying.
I was sitting at work, and for no good reason I started thinking about Kate Winslet, which of course brought me to Sense and Sensibility, and I flashed on that scene between Edward and Elinor in the stable where she says how she will miss her horse, but could not take him with her when she and her family moved, because they could not afford him, and Edward says:
"Perhaps he can make himself useful in the kitchen!"
The second I got home last night, I watched that tape. And I wanted to see it so badly that it only took me five minutes to find it!
And considering the state of tape collection, that's really something!
So I got home last night and Katie and Molly were on the front porch, so I stopped to say hi, and Katie said to Molly "Why did the chicken cross the road?" Molly looked uncomprehendingly at her, and she continued "To get to the other side!"
Molly paused for a second, then burst into these peals of laughter! Katie told her the joke twice more, and each time she fair burst with glee at the sheer hilarity of the joke.
It was a lovely moment.
O, and by the way, the potty training update is that potty training is over!
About a week ago, Molly started the whole potty business (she's two and a half) and she is now dry as a bone, at night and everything! So she went from being woefully behind in the toilet area to pulling way ahead of the pack!
Cynthia said that she's like those kids that never talk at all until they're like three and then suddenly start speaking in full sentences.
