Not that I’m greedy or anything. It just that I once again managed to let a holiday weekend slip by without doing anything worth mentioning.
I got back on the exercise horse with short, awful runs on Saturday and Monday and Bowflex action on Sunday, but so what? I dipped to a new low weight for this weight loss effort, too, but bounced back up a pound or so.
My mother had a nice deck party on her brand new deck on Saturday — that was pretty much the highlight of the weekend. She and her cohorts are now talking about starting a rescue not just for Danes but for all sorts of giant dogs. (I figure that’ll make Miracle Ed smile.)
After Ma’s I went to check in on my friend David’s birthday party, but apparently it had just broken up after BJ Penn beat up Sean Sherk. Since the party (and DJ) were winding down, Erik and I went to his house to throw darts and play a little ping-pong. Yep. We’re wild.
Sunday was a failure, as I decided not to ride my motorcycle figuring I would do that on Monday. Well, Monday turned out rainy, so no Bonneville time for me. This bummed me out since Erik had come over last week to help me get the Bonnie running well after a long bit of garage rest.
So it goes, eh?
A couple media notes:
- Don’t waste your time with Revolver. Gah.
- Sweeney Todd, by contrast was good times. On Helena Bonham Carter — Me: “I wonder what she’s like day to day… You never hear much gossip.” Wife: “Yeah, I don’t know. I was just thinking she’s got to be the oldest goth chick around.” Me: “Still totally hot, though.” Wife: “Well, yeah.”
- Also, if you’re cooler than me (by which, in this case, I mean you own a Blu-ray player), you might be interested in Amazon’s Blu-ray sale.
movies finally watched:
dvd
rambo iv: better than expected (kind of like the last rocky) though i my first comment after the credits started rolling was, “was that a movie?” it was more like a rock video set to the sound of gun fire.
there will be blood: wow. i don’t think i was supposed to laugh at the parts i laughed at. or be quoted by daniel day lewis like that but still, it was amazing and deserved the acclaim it got.
theater
iron man: really good movie.
indiana jones iv: much better than i expected. people have been talking about the first three as if they were sacrosanct which was kind of lost on me. in my estimation the first one was mind blowing, the second one blew and the third one was ‘okay’. i would say this latest one was the second best of the four.
..and jake should update more often, not that the corcoran brothers do it often enough.
