Fourth of July

I find it a bit depressing that I only had one post last month. Work has been busy and more stressful than usual. It’s not just me either, but for everyone in my department. The three day weekend has given me some much needed downtime.

On the forth, I slept in and went to my Mother’s house to cook out. Later that evening we managed to catch the fireworks show as we were heading home. We didn’t exactly plan to see them. We just happened to hear the percussion of fireworks as we left the house and drove in that direction. They were very impressive.

On Saturday, Alexis, Tyler, and I went to see “Hancock”. It’s a movie about a super hero who’s a miserable drunk that, while trying to help people, tends to wreak everything. The movie exceeded my expectations with an original character who is likable despite being flawed. I don’t consider this a typical Will Smith movie. Like his character in “I am Legend”, he isn’t all smiles and jokes.

On Sunday, Alexis and I went with her parents to see “Wall-E”. “Wall-E” met my high expectations for a Pixar movie. As Alexis had pointed out to me, the movie had very little dialog. The machines generally only spoke their names and when the humans spoke they furthered the plot. The visuals were great as was the story.
