Over-connected

OK, so I've had the blog thing for awhile now.
Then I got into MySpace. (not a big fan)
Then it was Facebook. (this is now my fav).
My friend George got me doing Twitter (still can't figure out the point).
Plus I have pages for Aims on MySpace and Facebook that I update.
I am starting to understand why the Unabomber disconnected from everyone and went to live in a shack.

W

Saw it this weekend and thought it was pretty good. The acting was incredible. I couldn't believe that was Thandie Newton and Condi. Brolin was amazing. My fav though was Stacey Keach who played W's preacher/advisor. He was really awesome.

Bad movies

Two stinkers...
1. In the theater, Tracy and I saw Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. This is getting good reviews generally but it was so dumb. Huge plot holes. NO laughs (gum and puke aren't funny in a rom-com). No chemistry. I have no idea what EW and others are thinking by talking this one up so much. Maybe I'm just old. But personally, a good movie should transcend age (Juno did!).
2. On DVD, "A Good Year" with Russell Crowe. Tracy really wanted to see this. It was terrible (she agreed). It was horribly directed (Ridley Scott should stick to action flicks!) and horribly edited. Wasn't funny or touching. If wine is the central focus of a movie, I'm usually a fan. That's how bad this was. So far, this is my pick for the worst movie of the year.

I voted ... now leave me alone

So, I got my mail-in ballot in today. So, how do I tell all the damn political people to quit bugging my ass!?!?!

Other crap ...

Saw "Flash of Genius" over the weekend. Good flick. Not sure if the point is how an obsessive personality made him lose his whole family or how one man could give up everything to fight for what is right. An idiot or a martyr? Still interesting especially since it was about windshield wipers.

Had two soccer games last weekend. Won one. Lost one. Season is going well. The kids are fun and my two other coaches are great.

Saw Uncle Bill, Tannae and Billy over the weekend. Uncle Bill is looking good. He's lost 40 pounds and seems to be getting around great. We're hoping to see him in Tucson when we go for Spring Training in March.
