Oh wow, out of the house and for fun!
I did something yesterday that I haven’t done in a very long time.
G and I went to a movie.
Actually, we went out to lunch and then to a movie. We do go out to lunch at least twice a month but it’s been ages since we’ve gone to a movie.
We went to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie and had a blast. If you haven’t yet had the pleasure of seeing it, make sure you sit through all of the credits, there’s a surprise at the very end.
They’ve redone the multiplex theater we usually go to (yes, we’ve not gone there in a long while.) The theater we were in only seats 61 people and the seats are so comfortable I wanted to bring them home.
Cooped up itis
Sometimes there’s no escaping it.
You can’t go anywhere for one reason or another.
The weather prevents you from even enjoying your yard or a walk around the block.
Try as you might to escape into a book, your spouse or roommate has no concept of “I’m reading, leave me alone.”
Even a blunt “shut up” doesn’t phase them, they keep talking.

Lost in a book
I finally surfaced from the depths of my book only to realize that midnight had passed by a while ago. Caught up in magic, dragons, dwarfs, magicians, unicorns and such, I lost track of time and place.
Found a good one in this freebie Kindle book, actually two books so far in this series. You can find the first one here but it is no longer a freebie. http://www.amazon.com/Wand-Makers-Debate-Osrics-Wand-Book-ebook/dp/B005JQ9D8A/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1427175924&sr=1-3&keywords=osrics+wand
I’m on book two of the series.
You all have a good one. I’m diving back in.
Repeats of repeats of repeats of….you get the idea.
I cannot watch one more old episode of Criminal Minds without going crazy. I swear he’s watched each one a dozen times. I still watch the new ones, he hasn’t ruined the show for me yet.
Why? Why do we have to watch them? He did the same thing with all the Law and Order shows, now I can’t stand any of them.
Is this a man thing? One must watch good shows repeatedly until your wife (who at one time loved the shows) can no longer stand to even listen to them?
We have dozens of new movies stacked up waiting, nay begging, for us to watch them. I am all for a nightly movie through dinner. There’s not a thing on TV that interests me at that time of day.
Well, last night I blew a gasket and told him to put a movie on. What does he do? He puts on one I wouldn’t watch on my worst day–bought it for him to watch when I was in bed in the mornings. So then he put in one we’d seen.
“What do you mean you haven’t seen this? We watched it together.”
“I don’t remember.”
“Man, I wish I had MS brain and could forget things all the time. We watched this. There’s a huge stack of movies there that we haven’t watched…”
He pouted.
I gave in but was mean enough to tell him what was going to happen throughout.
“Oh, oh! Wait for it…Great line coming…”
He has a brand new, just bought it Tuesday last, movie in the DVD player for tomorrow.
What we watching?
Superbowl? Nope. Books!
Nope, I didn’t watch the football game. I read two books. When I get the chance to read without The Curmudgeon yapping at me I can actually zip through two books in a day.
Getting that opportunity is a rare thing. I take full advantage of it when I do get it.
One large paperback and a heavy-duty hard cover book later, I am a happy camper.
See you later, I’m reading…
Ever since I first discovered Piers Anthony’s Xanth books I’ve been hooked. Yesterday his newest paperback showed up in my mailbox.
Never guess where I’ve been since it arrived. Well, maybe you will. Yes! I’ve been off into the land of Xanth. I’ll be back there when I finish writing my post and an E-mail to my dear friend E.
If you’ve never read the books, you can start with, ‘A Spell For Chameleon,’ and take your first journey into the land of living puns and adventure.
Bye-bye, I am diving back in between the covers of ‘Luck of the Draw.” You all have a good one!
Sherlock Holmes; a game of shadows
G and I went to see it yesterday. We both loved, loved, loved it! We are looking forward to more. I may have bruised G’s arm poking her with my elbow when the bull terrier appeared on-screen. Yay, for bullies!
We are also looking forward to Men In Black 3 the trailers looked like great fun!
For my birthday in March we are going to make sure we go to see John Carter.
