Zzzz. This movie wasn’t terribly interesting. It wasn’t terrible, either. Maybe I just don’t find the lives of turn of the century magicians all that interesting. The twist at the end was rather unique (Brian missed it because he fell asleep), but I think they could have cut a lot from this movie and it would have made it better.
cookout
We had the neighbors over for a cookout yesterday. It was a lot of fun. They have three kids that Jake plays with all of the time, so I thought it was time that the adults got together to talk while the kids played. Evidently the evening was a success, as they stayed until midnight. We just had the typical BBQ fare–hot dogs, burgers, and chicken. We have a ton of food left over. I’m not sure how that always happens.
happy anniversary to us
Brian and I celebrated our 11th anniversary today. All three of us went to dinner at Numero Uno to celebrate. We all enjoyed our dinners. The portions were kind of small if you compare it to other restaurants, but I thought they were just right. I mean, just how much food do you really need to eat, anyway? The prices were quite reasonable as well. We’ll definitely go there again.
As for anniversary gifts, I got Brian a piece of luggage for his bike (this will come in handy for the motorcycle trip we’re taking in August) and he got me a pair of motorcycle boots (this will come in handy when I’m riding a motorcycle). So, for all of you who didn’t know, the traditional 11th anniversary gift is motorcycle-related.
by the light of the moon
This was another Dean Koontz novel. I think I’ve had my fill of him for a while. The book was ok, but it took me over a month to read, so that tells me it wasn’t that great. No matter how busy I am, if I’m reading a really good book, I’ll finish it quickly. This book kind of fell back on his old formula–there was a guy who met a girl and they were both in trouble and they overcame some evil and everyone lived happily ever after. The end.
rum party
We went to a rum party at Doug’s last night. The food theme was New Orleans, so I made my famous muffuletta for the occasion. Apparently it was a hit because it didn’t last long. I made an extra one for us, so we’ll be enjoying that for the next few days. The party was fun and the food was good (I do love that Nawlins cooking).
After spending a few hours at the party, we decided to head back downtown and check out more motorcycles. Here’s a slideshow of the pics Brian took on Friday. Enjoy.
