Saturday the last- Groceries and homecoming. We went to Berea for Ellice's big day, and unfortunately fewer showed up than the year before, but we still saw some of Ellice's old buds and she got to sing with the really good choir. We went to a Mexican place in Berea that is very much below our standards here in Richmond--felt quite ill afterward. UK (football) rebounded after their tough loss a couple of weeks ago with a victory over Vanderbilt 27-20.
Sunday-Church, had lunch with Ellice's mentee Andi. We had her cook for us for a change-Spaghetti. We rested after that.
Monday- Dr. Appointment- that would be my asthma guy and allergist. Things are going as expected, keep taking the same drugs, try to stay active, which is getting more difficult to do with our time-consuming schedules.
Tuesday- Ellice's Obi-gyn (sounds like a Jedi to me) apptmt. We saw pictures of the newest Gullett. Congratulations to us, it's a little alien. Two volleyball games; won one, lost one.
Wednesday- After work paid bills, went to church, had a Final. Got my video lesson back--I got an A!
Thursday- Watched Survivor and some other TV shows on DVD. It was good to take bit of a break.
Friday- Got paid, went to Lexington for shoes, minis, dinner at Outback, and Beowulf. First actual date we've had in a while, great fun.
Saturday- Game, groceries, Kentucky got whipped by Georgia (again Football) after blowing a second quarter 10 point lead. Final, 13-24. All that's left next week is Tennessee, and whatever bowl game UK ends up with this year (two in a row, that's incredible for us!)
Beowulf
Are you the one they call Beowulf?
I know it's a CGI cartoon, but hey, so were the last two Star Wars movies, and they rocked. I wasn't overly excited to watch this one; just thought it might prove interesting. It was, and I was pleasantly surprised by it. Very graphic, rather gory, but I thought it was an excellent visualization of the epic. A few dramatic licenses here and there to keep things interesting, but for the most part, it followed the story and old world feel. I recommend this one for those of you who are none too squemish. But I mean really, how would you depict a monster that kills two dozen men without spilling a little blood...and disemboweling a warrior or two...and ripping people in half...you get the picture. The acting is good and translates to CGI well. Don't let my review put you off, it's really a cool flick. ***

Isn't that the story they claim was written BEFORE the Bible and is about the flood just like in the Bible?
I had no idea that was a movie.
Nothing I know about a flood. That's probably Gilgamesh. Different dude.
Yeah, the Epic of Gilgamesh was written before the bible was complete (although it falls some where in the old testement) and does talk about a flood.
That's it! Thank you!
First I've heard what happened at Homecoming, so I'm glad you posted it. Need to talk to your wife for all the girly details. : )
Guess where I was on Sunday??
Oh, and "Children of Men" = waste of time. Unless you like dystopias with lots of blue.
