Saw this, and thought it might interest some of you.

Blindspots is a continually-updated collection of movie reviews based around one very interesting concept -- how accessible they are to the visually impaired.
Movies that score high in accessibility include "The American President" (10/10) and "Ghosts of Mississippi" (9/10). At the other end of the scale are "101 Dalmatians", "Buddy", and "Spawn", each receiving 2/10.

Not that there's anything huge and bad going on for me right now, but I feel decidedly out-of-sorts. Gotta talk with the woman from HAND (the agency that will possibly find someone to help me with cleaning) tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to it one bit.

On the plus side, I snagged some awesome Mononoke icons made by [info]kaigou from [info]mononoke_anime. Usually I make my own icons, but the subtle animation on these was too good to resist.

The maintenance guy is also supposed to come by tomorrow to see how the heater is doing. I'm a little unsure; it does this weird thing where it clicks for a while, tries to start and fails, clicks for a while, tries to start and fails, and does that four or five times before starting properly. So I don't know if it needs more work or what.

And after that's all done I need to go to the store for some groceries. If nothing else I need to have something in the house for the dreaded Thanksgiving. something protein-y that is not turkey (meatloaf?), maybe creamed spinach, perhaps some pumpkin pie... and of course milk to mix with my lime liqueur, because it is a day which demands a bit of numbing. And of course, listening to "Alice's Restaurant". Movies would be good too. Any suggestions?
