Today I installed the two light fixtures I bought, and I put in a shelf in the laundry room. The purpose of the shelf is more to keep the cats from going behind the washer and dryer than needing a shelf, but it’s actually a very handy and convenient place for a shelf (it keeps laundry supplies very handy). The light fixtures were an adventure, being that they are nine and eleven feet in the air. But they work and look great. In the kitchen I removed the horrible dangling ugly chandelier thing that had way too much chain and hung too low and now we’ve got a clean ceiling fixture that doesn’t dominate the room. The fixtures I got have frosted glass so you can actually look at them without seeing the bulbs, which is nice. They put out a nice white glow. I’d like to get a few more for some other rooms but those rooms aren’t wired for overhead lights. I dread thinking what an electrician would charge to install those, but I guess I’ll have to check. With my poor eyes, I need lots of bright light. I don’t like dim lamps linked to switched outlets; I much prefer overhead lights.

Pointless sequel. More misadventures of the Scooby gang. I didn’t like the cartoon much and the movies are even worse. In cartoon from the overacting and stereotypes are bearable, but in live action it’s astonishingly bad. I guess it’s a form of humor, but a low one. The cast is good for what they’ve got, but there isn’t much to work with scriptwise. Mostly dull with only the occasional smile. Appropriate if you’re in the mood for something mindless (like I was).
