The weekend was nice. Slept until sometime in the middle of the afternoon on Saturday, which was very needed. Watched To Live followed by Soylent Green. Both were interesting movies, if a little weird. Soylent Green got an unplanned intermission due to someone plugging in a hair dryer and tripping a circuit breaker. Imagine a room that's effectively light-tight with normally a decent amount of lights from not only room lights but also VFDs and LEDs. Then imagine that room without power - yea, it's very dark. So after resetting the breaker with enough delay to force a move of the hairdryer to a different bathroom, the ending was uneventful. After that I tried to sleep some more, which was interesting since I hadn't been up all that long so kept waking up and having to fall back asleep. Sunday was church, and not sleeping through Sunday School this week. After that it was attempt to control the Asian Beetles. After a few times vacuuming and cleaning up a dozen each time, I found and cleaned up a bunch in other rooms as well. Then I watched The Legend of Drunken Master. While dubbed to English rather than subtitled, it was still one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. I mean, with quotes like "What does it mean when there's a picture of a skull!" with the the reply being "Good Stuff!!!" and "If you have job, you wear the pants!", how can one go wrong? Then more cleaning up the beetles, involving removing the light fixture to clean up more this time. After cleaning up the ones inside the light (not many), it was good for a while but now I see 3 up there. Talk about annoying little critters...
