Unexpected Reality

My own reality got me tonight.  I missed the finale of 'Brat Camp'.  My room-mate had free passes to a pre-showing of The Cave. (warning dial up. . .link shows a preview).  The radio station people who were sponsoring the free showing had to do their thing.  The theater was on the other side of town.  Anyway, you get the picture.  I made it back to my house in time to see the beginning of 'Lost'.  Crap.  I totally thought I could make it home in time when I agreed to go out to the movies.

The Cave wasn't too bad until about half-way through.  Then it got all hokey/cheesy/predictable and finished on a rather lame note.  If you can get a free pass, go to see it.  Otherwise, just pass.

So now I need to talk to someone who watched Brat Camp tonight.  Or maybe I should just write what I think happened and see how close I come to the reality of the end of this reality show.  Really.

Currents

Last week I showed my mother, sister, and bro-in-law my favorite movie.  They had never heard of it.  Most people haven't. . .it is rather obscure, in spite of the fact that the star is William Hurt.  My taste in flicks runs from the 'action/adventure' genre, through scifi and comedy, and all the way to drama.  This film falls squarely in the 'drama' camp. . .although there are surprising moments of levity and suspense.

Fun is Good

Went out to eat last night with the family and had Vietnamese. . .my favorite food. Then we all went to see Shrek 2. A most funny movie. My favorite part was when the cat coughed the hairball. There is something for every age here. . .my five-year-old nephew liked it and his. . .ahem. . .older uncle liked it too.

And this is most excellent fun. . .if your connection can handle animation. Equally pokes fun at both sides. . .I like it.

Cheers to Zoot and Tim and Mark and Tim G. and AnnieHall and my family for having my back. You make my world go 'round. :D
