This weekend actually seemed longer than it was; and I’m not tired out or anything.
Sarah’s test went better than she expected – of course she won’t know the results until November! Oh the wait.
To celebrate we went out for dinner and a movie. Dinner: Texas Roadhouse; t-bone steak just OK. Movie: The Hulk; just OK.
I have to differ with Jack and Kristen on The Hulk. I’ll try not to give anything away for those who haven’t seen it (and are actually reading this), but it was slow. Beautifully filmed, neat comic-book inspired transitions (sometimes), and really slow. Even the big desert fight scence was amazing slow for an action sequence. The upside, the CGI was better than I expected. I think cutting the first 40 minutes would greatly improve the pacing of the movie. But even then there would need to be changes to the pacing of some of the other sequences.
So, unlike Kristen, this does not make my “must see” list. Caveat: It really does look good on the big screen, so if you’re going to see it, hit a matinee or bargin theatre.
As for the rest of the weekend, Saturday afternoon/evening was the end-of-year staff party for Sarah’s school. This year is was up in Richmond. One of the teacher’s lives on 20 acres in the middle of almost-nowhere. It was nice walking around the property and sitting around the campfire. Too bad more people didn’t show up.
Sunday we did a little work around the house – I finally organized my racing boxes – and then headed to Adriane’s (Sarah’s cousin) graduation party. Then watched Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. Even Sarah started laughing at it this time around. It’s just that ridiculous.
That’s it for now.
