maybe they can put a starbucks there...

so, the berghoff is closing.... if you around in the next 2 months, try to visit.

Obviously they aren't putting a starbucks there, but it would have been fitting.

xmas photos

So since we didn't do much on Christmas there weren't many photos...

Me and Connie with the Weber Grill Man at the Weber Grill

Bill and Lily Christmas morning

Bobby practicing with his monster golf club.

Me and Bill on our first Christmas together.

Me and Bobbers --we are so cool!

Us on Christmas morning doing what we did the entire time Bobby was out- Playing smash. Please excuse the thumb, lily isn't used to our camera.

And so this is Christmas...

I hope you have all had happy holidays... Bill and I enjoyed having Bobby out and sitting back and enjoying Christmas. It was a bit different to not be rushing out the door 3 days in a row to visit all sorts of family, but it wasn't necessarily bad.

I hope to post some pictures tonight.

Later.

Congrats!

Congratulations Mr. Scott Ungar.

Going Ape -My side of the story

So you can check out Bill's review here. In the end the movie was good but at intermission (we still aren't sure if that was the theater's doing of the movies doing). I was highly disappointed in the film. 1.5 hours of my life gone and most of it spent on Jack Black. However, the movie redeemed itself and I too was amazed at how real Kong was, it was as if the had taught a really ape to act and then enlarged him digitally. I also really love the cinimatography. Peter Jackson -bushman though he may be- can really direct well. I was disappointed at the role given to Adrien Brody, though he did a good job with it. I was impressed by Naomi Watts, especially considering how hard it is to act along on a blue screen/scream bloody murder over and over.

Worst part of movie... icky bug moment eewwwww!

I was also disappointed that Jack Black didn't get it in the end. Dude should have been killed by Kong instead of getting to utter "no, it was beauty that killed the beast"

Also, Bill had told me that they guy that "played" King Kong was also the one who played Gollum. But he was also a regular character --the cook who gets it from the weird ass flobber worm looking things.

Anyway over all if you are into these types of movies this is the best I have seen, and if you aren't it may even be worth a gander (if you have 3 hours to spare).
