Didn't even realize it was nearing a week between posts. This weekend went just as described, and it kept me busy. Thursday night I ended up jumping the fence to hit the local high school track so I could calibrate my watch. My ninja like skills served me well. Friday we saw two movies, the new Hulk and The Happening. Hulk was okay, better than the last one but not worlds above. The Happening kind of sucked.
Suck might be too strong a word, but if I had known it was just a 90 minute movie about creative ways to commit suicide, I might have skipped it. Maybe people are too hopeful that M. Night Shyamalan films must be thought provoking. This movie was just a long Hitchcock episode. I think the tie for best suicide method was between the zoo keeper who fed himself to the lions (LOL at the special effects/physics on that one), and the guy who turned on the large lawn mower and laid down in front of it. Gotta love that crazy "act of nature" that disorients you, but still allows you to get creative!
Got my exercise in over the weekend, over indulged all weekend as well. Not only did my Mom get us the free night at Mystic Lake Hotel, but she ended up winning a few hundred dollars Saturday morning while going there to pick up the room keys. She was nice enough to throw in a little bonus money to pay for our dinner that night.
Back to the grind today, and a few long weeks until next month. Not quite sure yet what time off I'll take around July 4th, but definitely some. Hopefully some of the movies coming out this month and next will clear my memory of the not-so-good and mediocre ones so far this year.
