Jesus Christ. Too much happening at work! And just when I thought: oh, I have some breathing room between now and when I start my Christmas PTO next week!—suddenly a huge task I thought I had until the end of next week to get done, I need to try and get done by Wednesday this week. I was going by published deadlines for my tasks, mind you. We may want to take a closer look at how these get chosen for next year.

Thank god I already posted about Friday and Saturday yesterday. Sheesh!

All I have left to tell you about then, really, is the movie I went to see with Laney yesterday: Flow, an animated Latvian film about a cat navigating a biblical-scale flood with several other animals.

And it was absolutely spectacular. Laney and I were both blown away by it, and in spite of a couple of super minor nitpicks, I not only gave it a solid A, that secures it on my top 10 for the year. I struggled where to rank it, and currently I have it at #4.

The movie was at 2:30. Laney and I met at 1:45 at the Light Rail Station, as we had to go to the AMC in the U District to see it. This gave us the perfect amount of time to catch up, as there was actually a lot to talk about just since we saw our last movie on Friday.

This made for an incredibly busy day yesterday, in which I also did laundry—a time-consuming task on its own. I had about half the regular blog post written in a draft before I had to go meet Laney. I was not able to sit down and start writing the movie review until 5:00. Around 6:00 I scrambled to get the regular blog post done before Shobhit got home from work around 6:30. Still he couldn't understand how my day could have filled up so much, particularly because he never understands how long laundry can take. We walked over to Trader Joe's to get some frozen naans to have with the large amount of the leftover potato paneer dish he made on Saturday.

Then we watched this week's episode of Dune Prophecy, which was fine, and then we started with one episode of the new Netflix series Black Doves, which was also fine. I'm interested in watching more, at least.
