Ok, so this movie wasn't spectacular. Lots of pretty scenery, but the plot wasn't exceptional by any means. The thing that made it worth seeing (besides the Goofy short beforehand) was Ed Harris. I'm not a huge fan necessarily, but he looked and sounded... like a certain professor.

I'm getting laid off* tomorrow. :-) That's actually a good thing, despite the negative connotations of getting laid off - it means I can collect a little bit of unemployment for a month or so, and, more importantly, that I don't have to spend my days scooping tarred rock from buckets into pans and baskets. I'll have a month and a bit to do ( Read more... )

I was just wondering, "Hmm, I wonder what's taking them so long to mail it from Houghton," when a knock came at the front door. Opening the door, a ~15" x 15" flat package tipped over onto my feet as the postman* drove away ( Read more... )

Busy weekend - skedaddled out of the Cities to go to George Crosby Manitou State Park to meet friends on Friday night.

I went there for lunch today, and the food was unspectacular, the potato things were dripping with grease, and they messed up my drink order twice. First time, I went back and exchanged the Dr. Pepper I'd gotten for what I thought was the Mountain Dew I'd originally ordered, but ( Read more... )

I got a call around 7:15 tonight from my friend Brandon, asking me if I wanted to go to the Twins game vs. Toronto. I sorta hemmed and hawed (surprised?), and he was like, "I've got four tickets, they were free, I'll explain later. Meet me at my house five minutes ago!" *click* So, with a story like that, of course I couldn't turn them down ( Read more... )
