A rainy day today. Lightning has been burning a path across the sky as thunder rattles our homes and vibrates in our bodies. It was a dark and stormy night... Felt good to be snuggled up in my bed, hiding under the warmth and safety of my comforter this morning as the gods fought in the clouds... (at least, that's what its sounded like all day). There's something so soothing about sleeping during a storm..something that connects you with the raw power of nature in a way you otherwise are not (especially when trying to navigate in a storm, then you simply feel at odds with nature).
For the record, I didn't like XXX or The Adventures of Pluto Nash. We saw them both this weekend (yeah for cheap matinee shows) and I didn't really like either. XXX had more potential, but got bogged down as the movie went on by more and more stupidly contrived plot points (shooting a harpoon at a boat as you're racing down a road at 90mph from like 300 yard away? *sighs*) It lost itself in the need to get unbelievable. I'd give it like a C-. Now, Pluto Nash...ugh. Had some funny moments, but was very poorly written. Felt very loosly strung together - like there was no actual movie, just a bunch of scenes that were sorta connected loosly to each other. I'd give that one a D-.
Not much else to write about so I'm out.
