We went and saw Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocal this afternoon. That was a lot of fun (if bad for someone with vertigo). And on top of it, there was a woman of color in a strong role who kicked ass. Who kicked off her high heels before kicking ass. Who changed into sensible clothes to go kick ass. I'm going to go swoon a bit now. :)

So, we went and saw Cowboys &. Aliens this afternoon ( Read more... )

Friday morning, I went out to the community college to talk to some of their faculty-in-training folks; once a year Mac asks anyone who can make it out to come talk to the newbies and help them with lesson plans, reassurance, etc. Well, when I got there, I was paired with someone who is graduating from the same program I am, that I've tutored in ( Read more... )

- A-Team!

Trailers: Dinner for Schmucks3, Predators4, Knight and Day5Movie itself: big, boomy, silly, actually ( Read more... )

So, yesterday, through a bit of schedule convergence, I didn't have to be at work anywhere yesterday (while Community College is still in session, my Friday classes this semester were all Uni classes, and they're on exam week now). Jeff and I took advantage to go on a date. :) We did Qdoba for lunch (craft2, how I love thee), stuck our heads ( Read more... )

Yesterday we went and saw the first showing of Sherlock Holmes up in Burlington (nice theater, early bird special, crowded but not badly, will go to again) and then Jeff's mom bought us a late lunch at Brixx Pizza (10 percent off with a ticket stubb, too ( Read more... )
