Weekend Update
Mar. 14th, 2005 12:50 pmFriday
Went to see Robots with Java. I think it was a fun movie. I loved the degree of completeness of the world. I also really liked a lot of the twists on common phrasees and the entire 'marble house meets Rube Goldberg' scene.
Saturday
Did some house stuff and watched some DVDs with Java.
WentBarn with Mom and got to see Ms. Echo be a pain for Peter. I had been in her stall earlier working on her mane a little and something hit the side of the barn and really spooked the poor thing. Finally, Peter was ready for her so I did her up as quickly as I could and got her into the ring for walkies waiting for him. She was OK at first but a bit quick so the side-reins went on. She was still going quick enough that she was getting into her own way and that was making her mad. When he swapped directions (to her slightly stiffer side) she didn't want to do it (as in backing away when he asked her to go). She did go (and was not lame, just stiff-legged landing due to rushing and thus sliding a bit). He (of course) won the discussion but she was rather put out and wasn't in any frame of mind to work with me so when she did something really well, we called it a day. She also managed to step on the medial bar of the shoe on her right fore. Fortunately, the farrier was there and was able to nail it back on. Meant getting home later than I planned but it was good to have her done.
Played some WoW with Java and went to bed.
Sunday
Planted some more seeds (4 o'clocks and some more snaps ... not that I need more snaps ... I will need to thin the ones I have) and put them in the computer room, watered them and opened the shade. Played a little on the upstairs computer (better graphics than the downstairs one). Then off we went to the Hoff to see "Meet the Fockers" which is just as cringingly funny in many ways as the original. Poor Java was squirming at some of the foreshadowing (not the most SUBtle movie out there). Giggle. However, 2 matinee tickets, 2 popcorns, 2 sodas and the parking (we were running late so used the garage) for less than the 2 tickets for the movie on Friday. I love working here (even for evening shows, it is a deal for us due to my job and his alum status).
We went to the grocery on the way home and stocked up on some stuff (mostly on sale), played WoW for about 2 hours, then off to bed with me. I finished one of the books I was reading. Need to get my hands on the rest. GRIN Need to start 2 others on the docket (including one out of the library) but with break coming soon, I will get a lot of reading in.
The previews for movies that looked at least interesting to me. "Good Company" "War of the Worlds" "Love Bug Loaded" (yes, I am silly) "Episode III" "Miss Congeniality II"
I know there are others out there as well that are opening soon (or have already opened). Just need to find the time (preferably at matinee prices ... $9.50 for a ticket at the theater closest to home is rediculous).
