The Weekend....an update

So, as much as I wanted to go the movies, I ended up at my cousin's for dinner and a few games of Scrabble (I won the first one and lost the second). My track record remains steady. By the time the second game was over, we had hit 2:40 AM. No way I was getting home so I walked back to my aunt's place and spent the night there. We didn't get up on Saturday until 11 and by the time I met up with Dan, it was 3PM. He wasn't up for the movies so we rented a few and went home. We watched "The Final Cut" which has an interesting premise and perhaps the best DVD layout and presentation that I've ever seen. The menus are excellent and though the extras are not great, the presentation is outstanding but the movie left a lot to be desired. Still work seeing but not great. I also rented "Primer" because I need to see it again to understand it. And so, "Aeon Flux" is on the back burner until later in the week. Surprisingly, Dan has agreed to watch "Narnia" with me on Friday night so on the way home tonight I'm going to pick up the tickets. I'm excited, it looks quite good. I'm a bit concerned as to why some groups are promoting it as "a good Christian film". Not that it matters but I'm not sure where religion fits in with this...

I did watch something with Dave that made me scream at the television. I've always been aware of how biased Fox News is but we watched "Outfoxed" on Saturday morning and I threw a fit. Honestly, how can the station say it's "Fair and balanced"? Can the citizens not sue for misrepresentation? It bothered me even more that when I was reading some fo the comments on the IMDB, some people said it was a crummy documentary because anyone who would watch FNC regularly would be aware of the prblems with it. Hello? Did you miss the point buddy? There are people out there THAT USE THIS AS THEIR ONLY MEANS OF "NEWS"!!!!! Ok. I'm dropping it here because I'm going to give myself a coronary if I keep thinking about it.

Yesterday, it snowed and Dan convinced me to go out grocery shopping for ingredients for a stew tonight. We did go out in the snow and it was fun. When we came back, instead of doing homework, I layed on the couch like a vegetable and watched tv. Actually, the TV watched me because at some point, I fell asleep and had a nice nap in the middle of the day. We, actually I, prepared everything last night for our stew and this morning I just turned on the crock pot. I don't know how I ever lived without one. I love it. So tonight I have to finish my 800 word research essay. God, I can't believe what an easy assignment this is.
