At least it was somewhere familiar!
I'm with you on that one. Buses really scare me. I seem to have a knack for getting on the wrong one. Then spending a couple of hours figuring out transfers to get back to where I meant to go.
One time in college I took a late night bus downtown Seattle to take some night pictures for an art class. I stupidly thought they ran all night. Wrong. I was on the last bus at about 11pm. Next bus to get back to school was at 6am.
That was a looooong night.
Did you get some good pictures, at least?
It was pretty fun. Almost Star-Warsy. Some excellent scenes and a few groaners.
Well, I'm finally able to check in after seeing the movie and attending our homeschool banquet at the church, only to find that the only time anyone has pinged me to anything is I got pinged to the dose...twice for some reason.
We saw the movie.
Now I will tell you this to put things into perspective. Joshua is very tender-hearted as you know. If Puffy gets in trouble, and I ground her to the coop, he will be just heartbroken and sit out by the coop with her. That's just how he is, you know.
Ok, I won't say anything about the movie other than there is one part toward the end where Obi Wan is speaking with Anakin in a most distressed and woeful way. It's a terribly sad scene. That was the only scene that upset Joshua and he jumped up from his seat, threw himself into my arms and sobbed into the side of my neck.
It was a much more serious a movie than any of the others, but I didn't personally think it was all that great. The political stuff was very understated and easily dismissed, unless you're just wearing a chip on your shoulder.
All in all, just like the other five (the only one I really ever liked was the first one, the original Star Wars), I found it to be a fair movie.
However, Matthew LOVED it and that is as it should be imo...it's a perfect movie for a 9 year old boy.
Evenin' I'm not really here.
Long day at the Bored meeting. Then more crisis management at the pool. We ~may~ have it under control, but for several hours today we were thinking we weren't gonna be able to open...at all.
Saw "Contact" (Broadway musical) tonite. Interesting show. Not really material for our church productions tho.
g'nite
Hah! I did! Fortunately I had a lot of film with me. :-)
Almost got beat up and robbed at one point... but all's well that ends well.
Last Starfighter?
Ping!
Heh... Good night... really :~D
Heh heh!!
Good night...see you in the morning.
Tomorrow is "Pick up the Freezer and Cedar Chest day!"
You ground your chickens? :-)
Mmmmm.....ground chicken....
That was last night's cheese.
Heh, well, I have to...usually she's picking on one of the other girls. Basically I separate her from the others so the others can have some peace. But to Joshua, that's being grounded...he's had experience being grounded and hates it...so he really feels a lot of sympathy for the bird when it's "grounded".
LOL!! It's a fun time around here....
If you don't ground your chickens, they'll get surges.
Drat, that must mean Jar Jar doesn't get blown to smithereens...
mmmm...smithereens...
(Jr. and I are gonna catch it this weekend)
No, but he has 0 lines. None at all.
Well, that's progress at least. Don't tell me anymore.
