Had a generally quiet weekend here - yesterday was mainly blogging or reading the news or playing one of the empire building computer games (geez, even I think they take forever sometimes, when I would just like the game to go on autopilot and not make any decisions myself LOL).
Today was kinda more of the same - is going to be another tight crunch to budget for the next week and a half, damn my magpie tendency for nice shirts on Wednesday. So I did go out and see a movie (The Island) and had lunch out, even though I was stuffed to my eyes with popcorn and wasn't actually feeling hungry, but as for general shopping, no, none done at all. Maybe next weekend, IF I have the spare cash. Or perhaps better to save any spare cash as savings but where's the fun in that LOL.
The Island itself was really good, it surprises me how badly its opening weekend was in the States last weekend. Well, apart from basically giving away 90% of the plot in the advertising campaign, but it was better than the advertising indicated. Or maybe I'm a sucker for sci-fi. Although there was a bit too many car crashes and chase scenes for the brainy bits, but it is a Michael Bay movie, and overall it was good. As usual, Steve Buscemi gets the two best lines in the movie. Maybe a fuller review to follow shortly.
I was doing a count earlier today and I have seen twenty six movies in just over six months - basically one a week, apart from three weeks. Last week was one of those misses, but when the main choice is between Nine Songs and Longest Yard, and you are having a poor weekend, can you blame me for missing? The other two weekends I missed were when I have been with V, and hmm, I did want to see Wedding Date or In Good Company when I was in Melb, but to go see a movie and either leave or take the sister with us, hmm. And of course, the weekend I was going to see Friday Night Lights, we had a funeral to attend, much more important than a silly movie about American football.
V and I are talking again, kinda sorta kinda. On Thursday I was so ancient history, but over the weekend she was in Melbourne, and remembering our time there in May, and wanting my company again. But yes, it is going to be tough regaining the level we were at before Bloggate, but we are willing to give it a go. She kinda sorta kinda thinks I should find someone closer in location, but I don't think I need to.
See how things go (and yes, everyone I know DOES hate that saying LOL). We both want things at the level they were a week ago, but it will take time.
Michael Schumacher got pole at Hungary yesterday - the first Ferrari pole of the year. Can't actually link to any of the stories about it, because the race is underway currently, and the telecast is slightly delayed on TV here and I don't want to have the first half hour of the race told to me before actually watching it LOL.
Cute kid and wild animal and beer story for the day here - Vancouver Island off the mainland, and a cougar attacked a four year old. Cougar gets hit by cooler bag with a four pack of beer in it, and stops the attack. I can see either a Molson's or Labatt's ad coming out of that LOL.
Okies, Formula One coverage about to start, later peeps
