Endless

I have had a very busy weekend. Not all of it has been fun.

To start off, Pam had a birthday party to go to at the mall. (insert screams of horror here) The mall on a Saturday afternoon is hell. No joke. The party was at Build A Bear. I almost made a groundhog for myself. It just looked too cute. After the party we had to go get her dad and brother.

Aaron had a basketball game I missed due to the party going over. Aaron’s team lost, by a lot. They still haven't won a game this season. Aaron doesn't seem to care.

Then I went to Rosa Allred's baby shower. That was really fun. I normally hate baby showers, but this one didn't have stupid baby games. I even walked out of it with a nice bag of goodies.

When I arrived home, Jaime decided he was going to take me out to dinner and a movie. This I like. I really wasn't in the mood to cook dinner after all the running around and cake. We went to Red Lobster and Best Buy. I love Best Buy. I bought a few things I really shouldn't have, but oh well.

We ended up seeing The Eye. I wish we would have seen something else. Jaime and I both have a thing for Jessica Alba. That’s why we saw it.

The movie is about Sydney(Alba) a blind violinist. She is given the chance to see again after undergoing a corneal transplant. While Sydney adjusts to her surroundings, she is terrorized by visions of death. With the help of a reluctant doctor, Sydney sets out to discover whose eyes she has received and what the visions are trying to tell her.

The movie was OK. I just wish I would have waited for it to come out on video. The acting was not very good, everyone seemed bored or very tired. Also the story took forever to get moving. This was a remake of the Hong Kong film "Jian Gui". I am planning on watching Jian Gui.

Friday Night

I have had a very busy weekend. To start off, Friday night I went to see Sweeney Todd. I have always loved this musical so I was a bit worried.

I should have known that Johnny Depp would do a great job as the demon barber. I was laughing so much that my hubby kept telling me to be quite. I just looked around at all the others laughing and shook my head.



Then on Saturday, we went to see The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything with all three kids. They all had a great time. Even Anthony, the youngest, enjoyed himself. I was very surprised at how well behaved he was.


I may never be able to eat cheese curls again.

Then last night I was able to go to an advanced screening of U2 3D. I took the bus down to Pikes Place Market. Supricingly, I was able to get some writing done on the bus. Now the trick is trying to read what I wrote.

I was trying to go to a couple of shops there but I did not know that every thing closes at 6pm. I arrived at 6:05. To say I was mad would be an understatement. So I decided to explore a little. I had over an hour before I was to meet up with Jaime at the Pacific Science Center. I walked there. It was a fun little walk. I got called a whore by a very strange man. A guy who was waiting at the same corner as me said he didn't think I looked like a whore. I thanked him.


Once I meet up with Jaime we went in to get our seats for the show. For those not aware the movie is an IMAX 3D experience. The movie itself is a full concert.




The 2D trailer does not do it justice. It was a lot of fun.

Awake

Alright I know it has been awhile so here is the run down. I need a new damn computer. I need to get up off my ass and get stuff done. 'nuff said.

I went and saw Jesus Christ Superstar at the Paramount last Sat. I really enjoyed it. Although I did annoy my husband by humming Cult of Personality for the first few minutes. Corey Glover was Judas.

I wasn't sure I really wanted to see this but Glover held my interest. He has such a powerful presence on the stage. And his voice was full of emotion and kept the whole theatre wanting the night to never end.

The scene with King Herod wearing a bathrobe and his ridiculous calypso singers had me trying hard to stay in my seat from all the laughter. I succeeded while many around me did not.

I have started my New Years resolution early this year. I conned my husband to pay for half of the elliptical I wanted. He finally put the thing together last night. I did the easiest workout on it this morning and now I am ready to die. I knew I was out of shape but damn.

Tonight I am heading out to see National Treasure: Book of Secrets. Yea me. The last movie I saw in the theatre was Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix. It is wonderful having a child who I can trust to watch his siblings for short periods of time. I might get to go out more.

I did actually get some writing done this morning. I woke up at 3am and got some major work done on one of my stories.
