Weekend

Kind of a weird weekend. Friday night we went to see Mirrors with Rachel. If you're taking the night watchman job because they had replace the last one in a hurry, maybe you should ask why. Or inquire why the old department store you're watching over burned down in the first place. And if you see weird shit in the mirrors, perhaps you should stop working there. This Kiefer Sutherland vehicle was working ok (other than some excruciating dialog that periodically made _me_ want to cut my throat with a shard of broken mirror) as a somewhat cheesy albeit occasionally very violent horror movie until about the last twenty minutes. At that point I threw up my hands and mocked it as an Army of Darkness/Evil Dead wannabe. Don't ask. Let's just say that I think the writers painted themselves into a corner and didn't really know how to resolve the movie.

Saturday we got up really late. And then there was reading. And then some eating. And then some more reading. And some video games. It was a good, good day.

Sunday we got up late again (boy I miss that) and some of Noelle's friends from VA were in town escaping from the fog of San Bruno, so we had a hot dog with them and caught up on what was new up north. Then we nipped home for some yard work before heading over to Palo Alto to have dinner with Zak and Angie at Zao. After that we decided to check out the Clone Wars animated movie. It was ok. Better than at least than Episode I. (Noelle liked it better than two of the prequels.) Plot summary: The Jedi Knights must rescue Jabba the Hutt's kidnapped son in order to move Republican troops around the space blockade established by their enemies.
