I put my blog on a two-day hiatus to concentrate on studying for an online exam, but I am back now, and I'm enjoying it.
So my godson and his mom are staying the weekend, and that's pretty dandy. What's not dandy is the fact that they went to see the Harry Potter exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry without me. Not. Okay. In what universe does my mom exist that she thinks leaving me asleep at home while they go to what is probably the coolest museum exhibit in the history of cool museum exhibits ever? Oh well, at least it's going to be here all summer.
Today we saw back-to-back movies in the theatre. First, it was Pixar's newest movie, Up, and then it was the new Star Trek movie. Avid readers of my blog will know that I have already seen Star Trek. This is my third time seeing it, and it has not lost any of its novelty. As for Up, it's a very different sort of Pixar experience. It's a bit darker, and it's got a fair bit of violence, but it continues the proud tradition of taking every main character on some sort of journey and personal growth. It presents itself very well, and makes a lot of really funny references. The ones that stuck out to me were a reference to a famous painting and a Star Wars reference. It was very funny, and also very heartwarming, but also a bit more grown up than previous Pixar works. This is not to say that Pixar has not had some very grown up stories, but Up is grown up in a different sort of way than its predecessors. To say any more would be to cross into the realm of spoilers, which I refuse to engage in, so I will move on.
Today I also went to the driving range with my dad. I don't really golf much, but I hit a few balls. Mostly, I sat in the shade drawing and watching my dad hit balls.
And now you're all caught up.
Thing I like about the past 24 hours: Good movies.
Thing I dislike about the past 24 hours: Didn't get to go to the exhibit. ...mrrrrggggh...
Song addiction of the day: "ABC" by the Jackson 5. It's just fun. And makes for a great Clerks II dance scene.
Number of caffeinated beverages in the past 24 hours: 0.
