the clovehitch killer

This movie was about a kid who discovers that his father might be a serial killer. Overall, I really liked it. The movie really held my attention and was the perfect length. If there is anything negative to be said, it would be the fact that the police weren’t involved with the plot at any point. But, still I thought it worked.

My rating: 4/5

blown

One of the speakers in my car has been blown for what seems like a year (but it’s probably only been a month). I finally got around to ordering a pair of replacement speakers last week and I installed them on Sunday. What a difference! I didn’t buy high end speakers (as I’m hoping to get a new car in the spring, so no sense in spending extra money), but these sound amazing. I think they sound even better than the stock speakers (which shouldn’t be a surprise, I guess, but I always thought that the car’s stereo system sounded pretty good). Anyway, I’m finally able to listen to music again so I celebrated by buying the new Tool album yesterday. I don’t have any opinions on it yet, but I’m just glad to have some new music.

eric tessmer

The Johnstown Area Heritage Association sponsored a free concert last night at Peoples Natural Gas Park. Eric Tessmer was the featured act. I have been a fan for a while, so I wasn’t about to miss it. It was a great show. As a bonus, he was scheduled to play from 8:30pm-10pm so I didn’t have to stay up past my bedtime.

under the skin

I found this book while rearranging books on the bookshelves and I didn’t think I read it before, so I put it in my queue. It was quite an interesting story. I don’t want to give anything away, but it had a cool twist at the beginning. I wasn’t a huge fan of the ending, but at least it wasn’t open-ended.

My rating 4/5

walk, walk, walk

As I mentioned previously, the Humane Society changed their operating hours. So, under normal circumstances, I can only volunteer on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays now. I missed the past two Sundays due to other obligations, so I decided to cut out of work early on Friday to walk the dogs (this was my volunteer day for last week). On Saturday, I did the pack walk, as usual. Then on Sunday, I walked dogs again (this was my volunteer day for this week). Whew! I wish I had one of those mileage trackers on my phone. I’ll have to get one of those because I’m really curious how far I walk in two hours. It has to be at least a few miles, right? Most of the dogs walk pretty fast, but there’s some downtime in between dogs. One thing is for sure, I am tired right now!
