It's that time of year...March Madness and boy is it mad. And a lot of UK fans are mad too.
A tornado struck the Georgia dome last night during the third game of the SEC tournament, and they ended up postponing the UK game (game 4 of the day). What's really wild is they had to move the UK-Georgia game to Saturday, changed the venue to Georgia Tech's campus, and are going to refund the tickets for the rest of the tournament. The only people that will be at all the rest of the games are families of players, workers for the games, media, band and cheerleaders. UK has thousands of fans there, and they are going to be uppp-set. Not only that, but the SEC tourney has to be finished by Sunday at 5:30pm because that's when the automatic bids to the NCAA tournament. That means that if UK wins at noon, they have to play again tonight at 8:30pm. I don't know if that's ever been done in college basketball, especially in the modern era. It will be surreal with hardly any fans there.
Some camera shots of the damage from the winds were pretty dramatic. CNN is located elsewhere in downtown Atlanta, and they were covering the whole thing. It was interesting to see the sports announcers turn news reporters, but it looked pretty scary. Live footage of the dome roof swaying and buckling. Creepy.
In other news, we finally got out to Movie Tavern to see a movie and I'll review that one soon. My food review is good, worth the buck. My review of Applebee's on the other hand is that they are no longer worth the trouble. They don't even include bread any more with their steaks--I'm done with them. They are overpriced, lackluster in service and have lowered their food quality.
Still no books read, but I'm working feverishly on my schoolwork. Ellice has like 8 books read already. I'm languishing here. Maybe I'll catch up this summer (yeah, right).
10,000 B.C.
This one was just good fun. Predictable but definitely has that epic feel, grand in scope and feel but not overly long. I didn't have any problems with this movie, though it didn't stand out as one of the greats. **1/2

I don't know if you were talking about the Applebee's in Winchester or not, but I agree with you! I do not care for them at all and haven't for a long time.
I've never been that into prehistoric stuff (i.e. Jean Auel).
And I agree with you about Applebees. I remember when it used to be a big deal to eat there, but that was also when $12 seemed pricey. Now $12 is nothing, but instead of upping prices, they've lowered quality. Some food has tasted freezer burnt! But my town has few decent restaurants, so it's where we hang out after a show.
It is all applebees, brad was talkinga bout the one in richmond, but then due to circumstances out side our control we went to the one in winchester and it was jsut as bad.. so I think it is all of htem. I would rather pay less and go to wendy's.
