Today the clocks were pushed forward an hour and we got an extra hour of sleep – did we actually take it? Not at all, we were both up way too early, but we did get in a walk with Brocky in the morning, as well as some laundry.
My main mission for the day was to finally see Dune, the long delayed mega blockbuster I’ve been waiting for years for – and it was pretty amazing. It’s hard to really be wowed by a story I’ve heard and read and experienced so many times, but this is probably the new definitive interpretation. Amy got excited and seemed to really enjoy it, she even started reading the book tonight, and asked me a billion questions about all the obscure references and words in it.
Our secondary adventures involved going to Bed Bath and Beyond, where we got a new comforter, non-haunted ice cube trays and little egg frying forms, all thanks to a wedding card from my sister – we’ll still probably bug her for a tour of the Ottawa one, or we’ll just bug her in general.
We also went to Canada Computers for the first time in two years – miraculously, I didn’t buy anything – nor did I buy anything at Best Buy. Some day, we should return to the little plaza where Bed Bath and Beyond is – assuming we leave our credit cards at home – that plaza specifically has all sorts of cool places, including a different Canada Computers that we didn’t have time for, Visions Electronics, assuming I give them another chance, and loads of other places – that whole stretch of road has grown pretty rapidly – and it reminds us of Cameron, since she came from right around the corner from that locale.
