Weekend update
This has been an eventful weekend. Friday night, we went to the E Street Theater in DC to see Bubba Ho Tep — afterwards, Bruce Campbell answered questions about the movie. It was great. Campbell was very funny and honest (though he would not disclose who he supports for president for 2004), and the movie itself was great fun — I believe Campbell was born to play The King. The movie theater is brand new — Friday was the first night it was open. It was quite nice.
Also, I bought a new digital camera as a late Christmas gift for myself. It’s a Canon Powershot A70. I came home from store to find this outside my apartment building:

As it turned out, there was nothing major wrong — a water pipe burst behind our building. We have no water at the moment, but nothing was on fire.
I think it was pretty cool that the first picture I got to take with my new camera was of a firetruck.
And since I have a new camera, here is an obligatory picture of one of my cats, Oscar:

He has a nice profile, doesn’t he? Other than that, it was a quiet, uneventful but fun weekend. Just what I needed!
