Unacceptably unconnected.

shiredancerOur home internet connection has been down since last Tuesday. Almost a whole week! Fie upon Earthlink, fie upon Verizon! And nobody seems to quite know where the exact problem lies. I've been online a few times here at work, but as I've noted, it's terribly busy and even lunch breaks don't always happen -- so for now it's catch as catch can. I'm terribly behind on everything happening on LJ, so if I've neglected a response -- I'm sorry. I'll catch up as soon as I can.
Meanwhile, we went to see The DaVinci Code at the movies this weekend. LOL! I *knew*, in spite of how much I don't like the book, that I would probably like the movie... and I did. Hey, it saves me from reading the rest of the book. As my friends here know, I'm terribly easy-going with movies -- very easy to please. So yes, I thought Tom Hanks did a fine job, and if he appeared "wooden", well let me tell you, that's not out of character for many academics. And lots of intriguing interpretations of artworks were involved, and all the mysteries were explained in about two hours. Even the over-the-top albino wasn't an albino! Just a guy with white hair. *rolls eyes* I might still finish the book (I put it down *again* and haven't felt any real urge to pick it up) just to see the details of some of the puzzles -- I know they would have had to cut to the chase, so to speak, in the film (thank goodness). And, I'm quite pleased that I don't have to eat my Renaissance Faire hat, as I was quite correct in my guess as to what pagan ritual was going on when Sophie broke off from her grandfather. Okay, at least in the film he wasn't wearing antlers, but I had the gist of it right. Ho ho.
And lunch break is over, so that's all the online time I get today. Pooh.
