Turtle update...

We had some pretty wicked storms roll through the area last night. So when we looked out this morning, there was no sign of Tony the turtle. We thought the worst, and thought Tony was gone. Well Rachel looked out a little while later and not only saw Tony, but she also noticed that Tony had been digging in the mud. Now turtles usually dig for two reasons. 1) For shelter from the elements or 2) to lay eggs. We're hoping it was to lay eggs. I also did a little research and we're pretty sure that Tony is an Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene Carolina). Males usually have redish eyes and the females usually have yellow or brown eyes. Since Tony has yellowish eyes, we're guessing HE is a SHE. So the new name will be Toni with an I the turtle. So in a few weeks we could have baby turtles. Woohoo.

Over the weekend got to see two movies on DVD I've been meaning to see for a while. The first being Kill Bill Volume 1. We're probably the last two people to see this movie. I like Resevoir Dogs a lot, and though Pulp Fiction was pretty interesting and well done. Didn't like Jackie Brown. So I wasn't sure what to expect of Kill Bill. Turns out I really like the movie, despite some annoying parts. I didn't like the music by that 3 piece girl surf band, and I thought the cartoon in the middle of the movie was a bit odd. But overall I thought it was beautifully done. The lighting and camera work were amazing. The fight scene at the end in the snow was just so visually stunning. And I thought the fight between Uma and Vivica Foxx was HOT!!

The 2nd movie which we watched last night was The Cooler. It starred William H Macey, Maria Bello and Alec Baldwin. Despite showing William H Macey's naked ass way too much, the movie was fantastic. Very dark, very grim. You'll never look at Alec Baldwin the same way again. He's a real prick in this movie. I highly recommend it.
