Hi, everybody! Busy weekend. Friday night, DH and got a babysitter and spent seven hours watching movies and eating dinner. It was awesome!
Todd, I really think you might like Speedracer. Critics always hate cult classics because they don't know anything about the original. The green screen stuff was very well done. They managed to bring the cartoon to life, but the effects were never chaotic enough that you lost track of what was happening. They used a LOT of stuff that happened frequently in the series, and the character interpretations by the actors was very good. Again, nothing that would impress a critic, but after all - they were trying to act like cartoon characters in the flesh. We had a lot of fun watching it, and Brent decided to take Jared the next day.
After Speedracer, we ate dinner at a place across the street from the theater and then went back for Prince Caspian. It was WONDERFUL! I used to read the entire series every week (yes that's a book a day everyday plus the assigned reading for class) while I was in fifth grade. This is a long-running love of this series! They really got the characters perfectly, and were very true to the book for the most part. Any changes were very minimal, and you can never include EVERYTHING when you make a movie from a book.
Saturday was busy too with errands, shopping, and a grouchy baby. I tried to get a set of luggage on sale for our upcoming trips, but they didn't have the pieces I really wanted. Found them online at a different store for even less than the sale price at Belk! Hooray!
Taught two lessons and led music in church today, then collapsed for a nice long nap at 3:00.
The End
Mac, hope Baby Mommie's pain is under control and her meds are helping her. And I hope you're okay. You're in my prayers.
Welcome back Bonnie and Lee! Can't wait to read all about your trip.
Rosemarie, glad the shower was a success and you got to connect with your mom's cousin. When is the wedding? I'm sure you'll be glad to have all of that stress out of the way.
Tlinus, glad you get to go again! Southern schools are out, but most of them don't rush to vacation spots as soon as the school doors close. The crowds will be bigger a few weeks later, and even bigger the last few weeks before school starts again. You should be fine! Especially with FOTL.
Lawrence, glad you found out why you weren't feeling well and got some medication. Hope it does the trick and you're back to feeling chipper soon! It'll probably help your arm heal better, too, to have your BP under control. Best wishes!
Now I need to find the time to see Iron Man. DH and Jared saw it last week, so it's my turn. This is a good year for movies!
