Okay, fine
Jackie’s right, ’tis been entirely too long without a post. Trouble is, I haven’t really had anything “blogworthy” happen in my life. There are plenty of blogworthy things going on in other’s lives, but it’s not my business to write about them. So. Let’s go…conjuring a post from thin air.
Saw a Flick.
On Friday night we went out with J & T. Had a little dinner at Max & Erma’s, then went next door to the new Atlas Theater by Great Lakes Mall to take in a movie. We saw Leatherheads which, while predictable, was funny. Have you ever noticed that many movies based in the ’20s seem to have that witty banter thing going on? This one had an overabundance of it, particularly between Renée Zellweger and George Clooney. Stephen Root, as usual, played an eccentric. This being a sports movie, I almost expected him to make a reference to Obscure Sports Quarterly.
Anyway, the theater is pretty nice. It seems all the theaters use digital projectors. The picture was amazingly crisp; too bad the only glasses I had with me were my sunglasses. So I alternated between seeing the picture kinda fuzzy or seeing it kinda dark. Worked out okay, though.
Bought a Mower.
Here’s something sure to get everyone’s heart thumping: we finally bought a new lawnmower. Since we moved to this house, Jul and I have been using the Honda that Dad bought back in 1988. Before that, we used a hand-me-down Toro that I got from my old boss. So this is the first mower I’ve ever purchased. I told Julie that the snowblower we bought a couple of years ago was the engagement ring; the new mower is the wedding ring. So now we’re finally committed for life.
Got What You Asked For.
A really boring post, conjured from thin air!
“The picture was amazingly crisp; too bad the only glasses I had with me were my sunglasses. So I alternated between seeing the picture kinda fuzzy or seeing it kinda dark. Worked out okay, though.”
Doesn’t that beg the question, if you didn’t have glasses and could only see the picture dark or fuzzy, how do you know it was amazingly crisp? Taking other people’s words for it? LOL
I could see the picture just fine with the sunglasses on. Just a little dark in the shadows.
Congratulations. We’ve hit a new low.
So you got a Lawn-Boy mower with a Honda engine? How cool is that?
Is it a 2 cycle or 4 cycle engine?
Who says this is boring?
“My hair!”
“Congratulations. We’ve hit a new low.”
This is the danger in only one guy doing the posting. :D
Was the game in Leatherheads broadcast on “The Ocho?”
So, glad the theater is nice…..apparently Great Lakes Mall itself is still not worth actually going in to?
My mower eats mowers like yours for light midday snacks. 15 HP with 18,000+ft/min. blade tip speed BITCH…..but hey– congratulations.
Up with boring posts!! Joe can be so judgemental…it makes me sad.
Yeah Joe, you crazy Canucklehead! Post something for us!
…..”so after we decided to let the police handle the stolen Winnebago full of killer squirrels wielding grapefruit knives, we stopped for some beef on weck”…………………………..is he here yet?
Mmmmm… beef on weck…
Woo hoo!! Like a moth to a flame.
