A Grey Weekend
Well, it's been raining for the past two days on and off, the big highlight has been reading my Aunt (in Rhode Island) and Uncle (back in Bda's) blogs, they are on a different blogsite so I won't list them here (I'll probably link them from my Website soonish).
I ditched the 90 minute presentation that I "won", last night for some travel/timeshare thingy, and went to Moxies instead, with Roanna. Eight bucks for a plate of Calamari that would have had a hard time to fill a coffee cup, what a rip. Roanna had pizza which turned out pretty good, went back home and watched Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade, we watched the whole series this week. After watching the Temple of Doom, which to be honest was about my 4th time since it came out, it wasn't that bad as I remember. I loved the first one, which is the best I thought.
Anyhoo, Maxine the cat, got out on the roof yet again, I tacked up some chicken wire in the spots I thought that she was getting through, but apparently there are some more! Ah well.
Aside from that, went and saw Episode III on Thursday night and really enjoyed that, might have to see it a few more times when it gets to the cheap theaters.
But I was telling Roanna, they showed the usual theater commercials while you are sitting waiting for the movie to start, which is better than showing them right before the movie (you know when the lights darken and everything.
They showed a Xtreme! Gattorade commercial, if you have seen it, it does the alphabet from A to X using sports themes to show the letter (like the "U" being a boxers mouthguard after is has been punched out of his mouth). Well I was telling Roanna, they got to "K" which was a shot of sports fans holding up the letter K on small plack cards for thier team, and ther of course are three fans in a row, who hold up thier plackcards all together so you get the KKK look, then a couple of fans around them put up some more. I acutually burst out laughing in the theatre, I don't know if it was obvious to anyone else, or if they cared but it was just very odd.
Hey, if they can digitally reduce Lindsy Loahan's boobs, and digitally make her wear T-shirts in the new Herby movie, cause it offended family groups, some one dropped the ball on the Gaterade comercial. Which of course brings me to the name of the Herby movie, I mean come on "Herby: Fully Loaded" works on so many different levels!
Anyhoo, supposed to go for a walk in Fish Creek park this morning, supposedly it is time for the ducks to hatch, so there may be lots of baby ducks to be seen, will take the camera.
Tonight, we are off to April and Mark's to watch a movie, and have a curry dinner, so that should be fun.
Eveyone stay safe,
Ian
