Blarg

This weekend...

Twenty-eight inches of snow fell into my life. It was clearly uninvited. Did I use the enforced house bound time to my advantage, by say, preparing my taxes or beginning a quilt? Nope. I slept late, did laundry, shoveled out, took care of a friend's cats, and basically vegetated. On the day following the snow, I food shopped, pet food shopped (whoops, ran out of dog food during the storm, so they ate eggs), and took my niece out birthday shopping. I also almost got into a fist fight over a parking space. I really miss Hawaii.

This weekend...

CPM and I used the excuse of the Superbowl (which we care nothing about) to go to the movies. We haven't been to a movie in a theater in almost two years. We decided to see Avatar. I'm writing a complaint letter to James Cameron today in hopes of getting my nineteen dollars back. The special effects were incredible. The plot was lazy (oooh big bad company invades paradise to plunder it of its natural resources, the natives rise up and beat the bad guy) and there weren't any characters of note...no one to get really emotionally invested in, unless you count the moments where you root for the bad guy just to break up the monotony of boredom. I feel vindicated now for never seeing Titanic.
