Movies

The picture I've attached has nothing to do with my post...it's just one of us at The Arch last July.

Classes are starting to wind down for the semester. This week we have enjoyed the calm before the storm--just before all our final papers are due. Rather than working overtime to get ahead we decided to relax and enjoy a few movies. Last weekend we watched "The Holiday." It's a good one--an endearing romantic comedy. We also watched "Stranger Than Fiction." It too was enjoyable, but a little bit darker than "The Holiday." Last night we watched the darkest of dark movies, "Children of Men." I do not recommend this one for a relaxing date night. This is a tragic, dystopic, thinker of a movie. Depressing with a capital D. We had to follow it with a few light episodes of "Friends" before being able to go to bed for a restful night of sleep. Oh, on Thursday night, after enjoying the 5th grade band concert at BHS, we watched Rocky Balboa--it's a good one! Okay, now I have to buckle down and spit out two papers---at least one, maybe two.
