So yesterday I ended up going to see the early showing of Quantum of Solace, (love that $4 early show on weekends). I have to agree with the NPR review I heard of it with respect that it "does not break the bad theme streak." The white circle tracking to Bond is moved to the end credits which bugged me, I would rather it not be there (as in Casino ( Read more... )

Well I did not go golfing yesterday, I ended up going today and if you won by losing the most balls, Then I indeed would be the champion. On two holes I lost about seven golf balls combined with the other four or so I lost on the rest of the nine holes. I ended up shooting 15 over par, with only two bad holes, (taking those two and making them into ( Read more... )

Today was the first time since 1992 that my father and I went to a movie together. Then we saw Patriot Games and today we saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Last time the next day my father left the house and said he did not think he was going to be coming back and a little less than one year later he and my mother were divorced ( Read more... )

I went and saw Iron Man this afternoon and I thought it was very well done. As with all recent Marvel movies make sure you stay until the end of the credits to see an extra scene.

Not much else going on right now.

Well today I went and sold off my Magic cards, so that will leave me enough money to pay for a birthday gift and dinner with my mother next week. I also went and saw the new movie The Orphanage which was billed as a horror film but was much more suspenseful than anything else. It was very well done and because it was in Spanish with English ( Read more... )

For four days my left wrist was in near constant pain, no idea what I did to it to cause the pain, and because of that no idea what to do other than wrapping it, to help end the pain. On Thursday Jim got back with me about coming by the Haunt to help hang the new actor entrance door. Went and maneuvered the door mainly using my right arm because of ( Read more... )

Man, that is one thing that I am going to have to get use to being on the second floor. A couple of large thunder blasts have just rolled through and I swear it felt like the entire apartment was moving with as deep and as loud as the noise was. Now I have to deal with a very skittish Jiji. She woke me up around 7 this morning when the ( Read more... )

At about 10:35 or so last night the very heavy rains that hit the West Michigan area caused a massive power outage, (by massive I mean that as of 6 this evening there were still nearly 20,000 people in Grand Rapids without power and nearly 150,000 people across the state still without power. I do not know the total number of places that lost power ( Read more... )

That is right it is official, it is too damn hot. It was hot enough on Friday that Jim Burns decided to turn on the air conditioning at the Haunt last night so it would be cool today, I have no idea when he is planning on turning it off. It kind of freaked me out when I went and it was in the mid-seventies. I thought Tami had talked to him and she ( Read more... )
