I Pity the Fool

Now that I've been off for a while, I can honestly say that I have been a busy bee. I am still balancing work and family life and have now added job hunting and contract work to my list.


At least now I have time to actually "hang out" with my loved ones. We love going to the movies. Recently we went to go see A-TEAM and Karate Kid.


Both:

• offered cheesy 8o's charm from the original but with some new twists
• had a ton of action and laughs
• kept me entertained the entire time...hello Bradley Cooper
  

Of course, Jaden Smith made me cry. I hope his parents keep him in the straight while his fame and acting career flourish.

Crap, Flooding and Thieves

I had a quite an eventful Saturday. My morning started out with getting pooped on by my client JW's new baby girl. In the afternoon the ceiling was leaking (more like pouring) from the rain storm and caused havoc at work. The work day ended with some people trying to steal a whole bunch of stuff down the fronts of their shirts. Phew. What day. I couldn't wait to get out of there.

To end the night we went to go see a movie. I wanted to see Hangover so I could have a good laugh but it was already sold out so we ended up seeing Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. Again. I cried. Twice. Yep, twice. (I cried the first time I saw the movie too.) Have I mentioned before I'm a suck? I believe I have. Sad huh? Doesn't matter I really liked the movie. Anything was better than the day I had. Maybe that's what really brought on the water works....

Follow the queue

Saw Kung Fu Panda last Sunday with the family. Hilarious. Jack Black was perfect for the part of the Panda named Po. Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan and Lucy Liu were also in this movie. They didn't really have alot of dialogue but were also great. When we got to the theatre our desired showtime was already sold out. We went bought tickets for the next showing. We had an hour to kill so we played in the arcade. It's pretty fast blowing your cash at the arcade. We love video games. To spend an hour at an arcade isn't really killing time for us. I must admit some of the games are very violent so we just stuck to the usual stuff. Car racing, air hockey,and some army shoot 'em up game. I got my butt whipped on all occasions.

This past Wednesday I spent my whole morning at the MTO to do the written test for my M1 license. What an annoying processes. First, there is the long line up at the general inquires desk where they check your I.D. and then give you a ticket number for another line up. There, you pay for your test ($17) and they check your vision (20/20 I find this hard to believe since I have glasses even though the prescription is not much). I am then sent off to the written tests room. Yes another line. It's so quiet in there you can hear a pin drop. Quiet until a mother and her poor hungry baby come in and her little boy that is running all over the place. There is also a family of three boys running amok with the first little boy. Now it looks like a day care. A staff member comes over carrying the first boy and tells the mother to control her child. All this is very distracting for the others who are trying to write their tests. My name was finally called and when all was said and done, I got my little piece of paper that permits me to ride and went home. Woo Hoo!

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Saw this last night with the family. Indie is back with his whip and hat. Good family entertainment. Classic Lucas/Speilberg style film.

I'd like to thank all my viewers who have been checking out my blog. It's been 2 months and I've had 200 hits. I've been gradually introducing some new things so I hope I can still manage to amuse everyone.

Well, I'm off to go see my Cecilia so she can whip me into shape!
