My cousin’s finally the same age as me again She spent the day driving to New York and sightseeing. Lucky for her with the sightseeing…not so fond of the driving part.
It SNOWED! And I got to SLED! Whee! Jen is happy. I’ll probably be more sore tomorrow what with having to walk back up Art Hill after sledding all the way to the bottom, but it’s worth it. And the new sled I got, while it did split up the middle on the bottom, worked wonderfully. Nothing a little duct tape can’t fix! It was a pretty even snow, not so much accumulation, but icy. It took quite a while just to get the ice scraped off the car…hopefully it won’t refreeze so I don’t have to spend more time scraping the car tomorrow morning! Maybe I’ll get into work on time. Last friday I somehow managed to turn off my first alarm but sleep through my emergency second alarm. So I woke up about ten minutes before I’m theoretically supposed to be at work, even though I never get into work until 15 after anyway. Darn walk from the parking lot gets me every time.
Anyway, after sledding Alex, Leo and I saw the Butterfly Effect. Interesting movie. While there were some horrifying moments I’m not disappointed I saw it. Ashton Kutcher is sort of a cutie, especially when he’s clean-shaven…It’s a good concept, and I think it was well done. It’s just not quite up there. Eh. I guess my standard is pretty high now, what with the LotR movies…shoot, they even influence how long I feel a movie is. Anything under three hours is a short movie now, haha. But yeah, about TBE…I’d recommend it, I guess, it’s pretty suspenseful. It’s not a movie you could see again very readily though. Part of what made it good was that you really didn’t know what would happen. So here’s my ambivalent-with-a-nudge-to-go-see-it vote.
And speaking of LotR…watched the end of the golden globes tonight so I got to see RotK win Best Original Song, Director and Motion Picture Drama (!!!Whee!!!) RotK also won best Original Score which means they won all the awards they were nominated for. Go RotK! At least the Hollywood Foreign Press got it right. Let’s hope the Academy are taking the hint.
I like snow.
