For an NC-17 rated film, this sure was a snoozefest. It was a story about a guy who was a sex addict. The story really didn’t have much of an ending. I think I’ve had my fill of indie films for the year. Time to watch some blockbusters.
pool party
Jake had his annual birthday pool party yesterday. It was a nice day for swimming, but not quite as nice if you were sitting in the hot sun all afternoon. I don’t know what it is about the sun, but it exhausts me even if I’m not doing anything. But, the kids had a great time and everyone was well-behaved, so we’ll call it a winner.
harry potter and the order of the phoenix
Another day, another Harry Potter movie. This one was less fun than the previous movies, but the special effects were just as dazzling. Three to go…
birthday
While my official birthday might be today, we did our bulk of celebrating over the weekend. Friday night was the Polka Fest. We almost didn’t make it there due to the storm, but things let up and I was able to get my pierogi fix. On Saturday we had a Family Movie Night and watched The Muppets. And, on Sunday, Brian grilled up a delicious lunch and we ate on the patio. I got an awesome hammock for my birthday, but have not had an opportunity to give it a good test. Brian did get it hooked up on Sunday night but it was a bit too cold to be laying around outside.
I’m off work today due to a new “birthdays off” policy we implemented at Prime Design Solutions for 2012. Sometimes it pays to be a policymaker. I have nothing special planned for the day, though. I’m just getting caught up with some things that I have been putting off. But it should be a relaxing day nonetheless.
the muppets
Last night, we had The Muppets and a Margarita night, which is not normally a combination you see in the wild. The movie was ok–it had a little too much singing and dancing for my tastes, though. And, I couldn’t get past the fact that Kermit didn’t sound like Kermit. I mean I’ve heard better impressions of Kermit than how he sounded in the movie. Other than that it was nice to see the Muppets again.
