Mondays Suck (In General)

They really do.

Weekend Recap:
We had talked about going out to eat on Friday night but neither of us (read: me) felt like going anywhere. So we just hung out and watched a movie. (Reviews Following). Saturday, I went to get my hair cut and even treated myself to a manicure. Exciting - I know, but hey, it's a treat for me!

Also on Saturday, WWH tried (again) to go snowmobiling but his riding buddy's sled didn't want to cooperate. "One bolt", was what I was told when he came home only 2 short hours after leaving the house. Apparently a bolt that does something pretty darn important was missing and when they tried to replace it, nothing worked and after futile efforts, the ride was called off. He was pouting hard-core so I took him out to get a bar burger and to try to cheer him up. I was amazed at how many people were in our neighborhood tap at 3:30pm on a Saturday afternoon. And these were not young people, these people were OUR age, and drunk! I saw one 45+ year old lift her shirt. I couldn't help it, I had to squinch up my face with disgust - No one wants to see your 45+ year old boobies deary! Keep 'em to yourself please! Another movie followed.

Sunday we went out with Ma and Pa Keller to our local IHOP, that was an experience. Not that the food or service was bad - both where what I expected. But Ma and Pa went west to their IHOP and we went east to our IHOP! Thank goodness Ma figured it out and called us and they met us at our IHOP.

Then we went home and WWH chopped away at our ice skating rink (a.k.a. Our Driveway) and I finished some laundry and kept looking at my nails all day. Why can't I do that to my own nails? How much is manicurist school anyway? Maybe I could start a whole new career.....wait, they work Saturday's right....Nahhhhhh.

We watched the third movie in the afternoon and just relaxed.

Movie Reviews:
Feast of Love
I had never heard of this movie but it had Morgan Freeman and Greg Kinear in it so I thought it had to be at least tolerable. I was relieved to find out that it was a wonderful movie. A good message about LOVE. Awwwww...yes, it had some super sappy parts but I thought it was well worth the watch. WWH really liked it too!
3.5 out of 5 (I need to come up with some sort of symbol for this rating system).

We Own the Night
Anything with Mark Wahlberg and I'm all over it! I love that man! Anyway, back to the movie. Also starring Joaquin Phoenix and Eva Mendes, it's a story about 2 brothers - one is a night club manager and the other a cop. It was predictable where this was going - the night club owner (Joaquin) gets a warning from his cop brother (Marky Mark) that drug deals are going down and would he help out the cops by doing some informing. Also starring in this movie is Robert Duvall as the father of both boys and also the Deputy Chief. WWH liked it but I thought it was predictable and kind of boring save for the eye candy to look at.

25th Hour
All the right actors for a fun movie viewing experience: Edward Norton and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Them there are some righteous acting chops. But no such luck on the movie. It wasn't horrible but there wasn't much there of any substance. It was directed/produced by Spike Lee and it should have been written by Mr. Lee as well. In the middle of the movie the lead actor (Edward) goes into this tirade that levels shots at all minorities, except of course the Irish, which is supposed to be one of. I think it was trying to be Spike Lee film but fell very short.
