05-18-2012

I think I'm ready to start using this again.

Clearly, I haven't been keeping up with updating, but not much has changed since I last wrote.  I haven't been watching movies as frequently.  I was on a good roll in the month of January, but events in February blindsided us all and I think we all reevaluated certain things in our life.   Our group of friends bonded closer, and I know Elizabeth and I have been trying to spend more time together.

Work is still work.  I've applied to a few places recently, but never hear back.  I think I'm at where I suppose to be, so I do my best to make the best of it.  if things do change, I'll write about it.

The summer movie season began 2 weeks ago, with the release of The Avengers.  Dave, Robert, and I went to the midnight showing of it.  Lots of fun, and the best part of the movie for me was The Hulk.  I'm really surprised that Marvel was able to pull off such a good team movie.  No one really overshadows the other, which is an aspect I didn't think they could pull off.  I'm not sure DC could ever have a movie universe like Marvel has, which is sad.

My favorite movie so far this year theatrically has been The Cabin in the Woods.  It's just a lot of fun, with a twist to the horror genre, and the last 30 minutes or so are just a pure blast.  Dave and I saw it together, and then Elizabeth and I had a date with the Spicers to see it.  Shockingly, Elizabeth even enjoyed it a lot.

Last night, Elizabeth and I had a date night here at home and finally watched The Muppets.  It was a lot of fun, and a great movie to bring the muppets back into pop culture.

I think that's it for now.  I'm glad to be writing again, but we'll see how long I actually keep up with it.
