whether you go all-out as some folks do, or consider it a hallmark holiday i hope you enjoyed your valentines day weekend. the wife and i usually do cards and token gifts and this year, being it was on a saturday, we decided it was as good an excuse as any to go to a movie. i like going to the movies it's just something we don't get a chance to do very often. it's a real treat when you get to spend $8.50 on a ticket, pay the outrageous mark-up for concessions, and be treated to the sights, sounds, and distinct smells that a movie theater has to offer. i did notice that the film was shown in digital format so there was no whirring projector or eyelash moving about on the projector lens, so that was kind of cool. we saw "slumgdog millionaire", which i have to say, i enjoyed a lot, which should be significant coming from me as i generally hate most movies by default. i'm hoping that slumdog gets the oscar nod for best film, because i'm sure it deserves to, even though i haven't seen any of the other films that have been nominated.
i discarded my #1 rule, and payed the price until 1:45 am this morning. no caffeine after 6 PM! why do i continue to challenge this?? gave me a chance to catch a new show on msnbc called "dead men talking". still, should have been sleeping by then.
the rest of the weekend saw alaina's hoops squad go 0-2, a 30-36 thriller, and a 50-5 beat down. she continues to improve and play sound defense so i'm hoping she'll want to play again next year.
today i played home repair guy (with some help from father in law) and replaced some parts on my toilet to prevent it from running constantly. a seemingly small victory but things like this give me more satisfaction that they probably should due to my handyman skill deficiency.
