A Review of Sorts...

I'll try keep this short... just some thoughts to share...

So last night Ray and I went on a date.

We decided to check out the Studio Movie Grill since we had never been and nearly everyone else in the world has. In a nutshell... we loved the concept, but thought the execution was lacking. Normally people go out to dinner and a movie... this place just had the bright idea to put dinner and a movie together... so you can get home earlier. =) What stunk was you have to line up to go into the theater in like two different groups... and it seems like if you're in Group 2 you're totally going to get an awful seat because you go in last. You just kind of feel like cattle being lined up and driven in the right direction. So not classy... ugh. =P haha

On top of that, everything is WAY overpriced. We decided we might go there sometime just for dessert and a movie. They have hot cookies. Need I say more? =)

Now... as for the movie. We saw something I was very skeptical about seeing cause it seemed like it could be completely stupid... Tron. Ray had seen the first one back in the 80s and loved it so he was looking forward to it. I went because hey, it was PG so I knew it was going to be relatively safe... and I was trying to be a good date for once.

I have to say.... I really liked it. I thought the story was pretty interesting... but what really sold me was the music. Daft Punk did the entire soundtrack and they kept an 80s feel to much of it. I will be buying the soundtrack today. =)

So, have any of you seen it? Anyone want to explain it to me? haha There are still a lot of gaps I can't fill in and it seems like it'd be a fun movie to dissect and talk about.

Hope everyone is doing well! =)

Sad...

Ray and I saw a dead one of these next to the road yesterday...




It was still there when I passed by again this morning. What in Barb's closet is a beaver doing in the middle of the city????

Don't you wish you could rewind life sometimes and do things over? If I had a rewind button... I would go back before that beaver died and made sure it stayed out of the street... and in the process... we could have become good friends.

Then again, if I'm going to be real about things... I'd only use the rewind button for that if I had unlimited rewinding privileges. For all I know, that beaver could have been a jerk.

I have to apologize for the quality of my posts lately... it'll get better... promise! I invented something yesterday... I'll take some pics and post about it soon! =D
