Batman

I'm watching Tim Burton's 1989 Batman for the first time in years. I love to see what great directors and actors can do with good characters like Batman/Bruce Wayne and especially The Joker. Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger both turn out compelling interpretations of The Joker. In any case, this is a nice way to spend a Sunday evening.

I'm happily settling into new digs in beautiful Cincinnati. The apartment is way cute and my neighbors are nice. Ophelia seems to be settling in ok too-- except that she seems to want to wake me up at like 7am every day. I'm not sure if she hears the neighbors moving around then and it scares her or what- but suddenly she's all about laying right next to my face and smacking repeatedly with her tail. I roll over and scoot away to avoid her-- Then she'll move to the other side of the bed by walking over me and lay down on that side and wack me in the face. This continues for hours (though I occasionally kick her out of bed she comes back) till I finally give in and get up.

So, I started work yesterday! I settled into my desk a little, found my way around the building and asked a bunch of questions. It was good times. :) It feels so "right" to be back in Cincinnati. It really feels like home. I went to Church Sunday at the First Unitarian Church which is actually pretty near my apartment. It's a beautiful old historic church with Tiffany windows and carved wood. The people were all very nice of course and made me feel very welcome. I could see me settling in Cincinnati for a while. :)

Hmm.. what else is new? ...
