orangerfulDidn't have to stay late at work so YAY, and tomorrow - no work! yay again. Also managed to re-arrange my schedule so I can help Al & Jules move in Sunday. Another yay to the list.
We watched "Hidalgo". Kind of a let down. When there was action it was cool, but all the slow bits in between were kinda slow. They should have picked one part of the story and gone with it. I know it's a based on a man's life, but they had about 3 different plots going and it kept dragging the movie down. The whole thing with the girl was sorta silly, since she wasn't really anything to him. And he leaves her there in the end, when she kept telling him how miserable she was the entire movie. Plus it slowed the whole movie down because instead of the race, we watched him almost get his balls cut off and then sneak out to rescue her. The whole time this is going on I'm like "um....what happened to the race?" And it was very weird to watch a movie about the middle east with all the stuff going on over there now. Viggo was cool though. His character was a lot like Aragorn, so AD kept doing LOTR quotes. I think they should have just stuck with the "coming to terms with who you are" story rather than trying to toss some half-assed romance in there.
I just happened to get up to the part in "Devil in the White City" where Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show is getting better attendance than the fair. (Frank & Hidalgo were featured in the show after the fair I think). Apparently there was a similar race across the US to celebrate the fair. no mention of Thompkins, but the book came out prior to the movie so who the heck knew who he was? They just opened the first box of crackerjacks though. And shredded wheat (which didn't go over big). Ferris wheel isn't done yet though. Who knew the Ferris Wheel was invented to top the eiffel tower? madness. Oh, and the psycho killer guy has opened up a hotel and he's only letting women rent out the rooms and most of them are disappearing. yeah. Ew.
I pulled some muscle in my abdomen. I attempted to do crunches a few days ago, and I had been in pain all weekend. Then Monday night I wake up, I don't even remember why, one of those "oh I need to get up right now" moments that happens after an intense dream....anyway, I sat up using only my abs, and I think I broke the one on my left. It still hurts. I sneezed while at work today, bought passed out from the pain. I haven't been able to sleep thru the night either because every time I roll over, I feel it pulling. HEAL DAMN YOU HEAL!
Hm, all the icons I made today were for contests so I can't show them to you just yet. :-)
