June 9: Housewarming

We had a great idea for our housewarming party. We would show a movie outside. Our back yard is totally set up for it: You hang a sheet from the bottom of the upper balcony, set up a LCD projector (borrowed from school) and invite people to have a seat. It was such a good idea.
Friday night, Matt and I hung the sheet, got the computer, projector and speakers all hooked up together and turned everything on. It worked! There was much joy. This was going to be so cool.

Saturday dawned gray and overcast. I hoped it would burn off once the day got going. Instead it started to spit rain. Spitting turned into sprinkling, which turned into showers, which turned into constant rain for several hours. It was chilly, too. We took down the sheet, threw it in the dryer and rehung it in the living room. Sigh. Everyone enjoyed the movie, but Ghostbusters would have been that much better watched outside under the stars.
