weekend of fun

Monday June 27th 2005 09:37 AM PST

Saturday was the first look that I got at the house Jen's been drooling over for a week now. We went up to La Canada to meet our agent, and she took us to a few houses around the area. Most of the spots were nice, but not what we were looking for. So the last place was the one. Its not on the market yet, but as soon as it goes, we're putting an offer on it. So now we're just getting all our shit in order so that we can do it quick.

So house hunting took the better part of the morning. Then later that night we went over to Bob's for a little BBQ. Pete and Di were over with Di's two sister and Pete's sister, so it made for the normal greta family story-time. Bob pretty much killed himself preparing everything, but as usual it was amazing.

Sunday we dragged out asses out of bed early and started to clear off our patio. Our landlord is painting the house, and we needed to get EVERYTHING out of the way. So 2 hours later, we've got a clear patio, and Jen and I are both really fuckin dirty. Will calls soon after and we make plans for Batman later that day.

Will, Cookie, Steve-o and Juliet all meet us at Crown City Brewery and we sit down for lunch and a few pints. Then we meet Matt and Milkshake at the movie theater.

So after the 30 minutes of commercials....

Batman Begins honestly has to be the best super-hero movie i've seen since the original Superman. The movie studios have totally forgotten that a character-driven action-movie can actually be fuckin incredible. The character development does everything for the movie. Everything element of the movie took on a more realistic feel than any of the Tim Burtonesq films offered. I gotta go see it again just to focus on all the little details. Oh, and Cillian Murphy as scarecrow was a great casting job. He pulls off the performance with the most creepy personality. Before he puts on the mask and the FX take over, you're already scared of him.
