Nine Years

H and I celebrated our 9th anniversary yesterday. We got a babysitter and went to an afternoon showing of Indiana Jones*, then had Middle Eastern food for dinner**. After dinner we visited this park near Major City. It was just lovely outside, which was a huge change because 24 hours earlier it was like a sauna outside. We didn't stay out too late, but sat out on our porch looking at the stars when we got home. We were able to see Jupiter even though we had scattered clouds. It was a really nice day and I'm glad we got to spend together.*** I love you, H!

There were so many ducks! I was only wishing the ducklings were still small and fuzzy.

*We both really liked the movie!

**OMG, was this place overpriced! I knew the prices from looking at their website, but I thought it was going to be on the fancy side since it was so expensive. Nope- it was just pretty casual. The food was good, but not fabulous and definitely not worth $17 for veggie kebabs!

***and that it didn't involve cleaning the house!

Movies that are hardly uplifting...

I came home from work at lunch time today and ended up watching a movie with H this afternoon. We've had some NetFlix DVDs sitting here, so we watched There Will be Blood. I enjoyed it, but H never likes movies where the main character isn't likable. Last week, we watched No Country for Old Men, too. I liked that one too, but what a terrible ending! H is ready to revoke my license to pick movies, because they were both so depressing. I had picked them because I knew they were both nominated for Best Picture and I usually like the Coen Brothers. I didn't know much about There Will be Blood, but that Daniel Day-Lewis was in it. I still have Juno sitting here and H already said he didn't want to see it, and I'm not sure I'm ready to watch a pregnancy-oriented movie right now, either. Have you seen TWbB or NCfOM? What were your impressions?

Dewds...

Is anyone else disturbed that they made another version of Hairspray? How can you possibly do better than John Waters?? (& Ricki Lake with Divine and Jerry Stiller? And Deborah Harry????) WTF???
