way cool
I just finished watching Grapes of Wrath on my MacBook Pro. We got the movie through Netflix several weeks ago and Scott finished watching it on his way back from DC a week ago. So while laying on the couch tonight, I plugged in my earphones and watched it on my laptop. It worked out great as Scott was in the room playing his XBOX 360 and I didn’t have to worry about interrupting him.
Very cool. I am excited to be doing more of this when I have down time at work and on plane rides when I do travel.

Last night, I got together with my friend Amy. The plan was to go see the 8pm showing of The Ruins at the Arizona Mills Harkins. So I got to her place around 715 and after some visiting we headed tot h theater. We were both looking forward to the movie, me because I love to see scary movies and Amy because she also likes these types of movies AND she read the book.
But our plans were thwarted at the ticket counter when we were told that there is no 8pm showing. So we had to scramble to pick a movie to see and we chose Prom Night. This was pretty much a mistake as it turned out to be just like all the other teen scary movies, such as “I Know What You Did Last Summer” and “Scream.”
I will admit I did jump throughout the movie as I am easily spooked by things coming out of closets or around corners if I am not expecting it. But I also spet a good part of it laughng at how ridiculously predictable the movie was.
So the moral of the story is, always have a backup movie picked out to avoid last minutes, snap decisions that could turn out to be a huge mistake.
Luckily we salvaged the night by catching up on our lives, as it had been months and months since we last got a chance to hang out.

A friend of ours highly recommended to Scott that I see the movie, Once. Kate told him that it would change my life. So last week we got it through Netflix and I watched it last Friday. It is a really good movie. I personally don’t consider it life-changing but it is a wonderful story complimented by a beautiful soundtrack. It is a pseudo-documentary of two artists who find each other and through music tell their love story. The movie makes you feel like you are privy to parts of peoples lives you wouldn’t normally see– the struggles and heartache. If you haven’t seen it, I recommend renting it. I don’t think you’ll be sorry.

Friday night Scott and I went out to the movies to see Rush Hour 3 starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. I thought the movie was pretty good considering it is the third installment. For action lovers there was plenty of stunts. There was also a good amount of laughs. I’d recommend seeing it in the theater.
