50 first dates

Last night was a migraine and a movie night, so no Margaritas were had. Better luck next time. The movie was 50 First Dates. We caught it on HBO. In comparison to Along Came Polly, this movie was a masterpiece. We both thought it was really funny. My favorite scene was when Drew Barrymore beat Rob Schneider with the baseball bat–it was hilarious. Any movie that makes me laugh till I cry gets a thumbs up from me.

The Flick Filosopher did not review this movie. Apparently she thinks that “Life is too short to watch Adam Sandler movies.” Sheesh. I have to admit, I’ve never been a huge Adam Sandler fan, but a lot of his movies are quite funny.

along came polly

Brian and I watched this movie last night. I have to say I was a bit disappointed. I thought it was going to be half-decent, but it really wasn’t all that funny. The best parts involved Hank Azaria’s character, Claude. I never knew he was so buff (and he looks pretty cool with longish hair as well). Other than that, there’s not much to say.

The Flick Filosopher agreed.

motorcycles

remember?

Yeah, Brian doesn’t either. You’d think with all of the motorcycle! motorcycle! motorcycle! he’s had on his brain the past 6 months, he would have remembered to sign up for his motorcycle safety course on Tuesday. I mean, he was even talking about it on Monday and spent a good chunk of last weekend reading the motorcycle safety handbook. Luckily, his friend John was also signing up for the course, so he called here Tuesday morning to see what class Brian got into.

Since Brian hadn’t mentioned anything to me about the course, I presumed (correctly) that he had forgotten to sign up for it. So, I IM’ed him and that was indeed the case. By the time he logged on, the first course was full, so he had to sign up for the second one (which John is also in). Doesn’t really matter, I guess, though the first course would’ve been slightly more convenient. However, if John wouldn’t have called, I wonder if any courses would have been left by the time Brian got around to signing up.

It just goes to show, it’s not just the stuff I ask him to do that he can’t remember. I mean, if he can’t remember to do something related to his motorcycle, what else is there?

weather

happy march

Well, here it is, the first day of March, and we’re in the midst of the biggest snow storm of the winter. To tell you the truth, it doesn’t really bother me. And, I wouldn’t be surprised if we had one or two more of these before the end of the month. It’s hard to be bothered by snow in March. Especially when your daily commute to work normally involves walking up 14 steps inside your house. Plus, I’m scheduled to start planting stuff for my garden (indoors) this coming weekend, so I know spring is right around the corner.

Brian got screwed yesterday. Because all of the weather forecasts were calling for major snow yesterday, on Sunday night he decided that he was going to work at home on Monday. So, of course, we hardly got any snow yesterday, but today wasn’t so good weather-wise. At least he made it in to work OK and on-time.

Think spring!
