Weekend are so short...

A few weeks back Rachel and I went to see the horror flick Saw. We enjoyed it. But what struck me was a movie we saw the trailer for before SAW began. It was called Life Aquatic and starred Bill Murray. The movie looks so promising. I hope its more Royal Tennenbaums and less Lost in Translation.

Man do weekends go by fast. But I do have a 4 1/2 day weekend to look forward this coming weekend. Im sure Rachel will keep me busy. She's already hinted that she wants to get the Christmas stuff out and decorate this weekend. If it were up to her we would have decorations up 365 days a year. But I do have myself to partially blame for her love of decorating. A large percentage of the stuff we have for decoration is stuff I either purchased for her as a gift or bought because I saw it and thought she would enjoy it. I'll try to post some picture of our "winter wonderland" once all the decorating is through.

I stayed up to watch the end of the Packers-Texans game last night and man am I dragging ass. The game didn't end till 11:45. But Im glad I stayed up to watch it. Brett Favre performed some of his late game heroics. The Packers won by kicking a field goal as time expired. And it was a VERY close call. The kick skimmed the right upright and just stayed inside. Since Brett Favre has hinted that he may retire at the end of the season, it could be one of the last game I see him play in. The game even had Rachel's attention. She stayed up and watched with me.

I finished Digital Fortress the other night. I highly recommend the book. Really good stuff. Easy reading. I started reading Lullaby by Chuck Palianiuk. Im about 130 pages into it. The books main story is really good, but all the side banter about antique furniture, cults, etc is getting on my nerves. Maybe it will all tie together at the end, but right now it just seems like Chuck is using it add some weight to the book. We'll see how the last 150 pages are. He has a way of making you want to read on. I hate to put the book down once I get started.

If this is my lasy post before Thanksgiving, have a happy freakin Thanksgiving everyone....

The Life Aquatic is one of the movies we want to see as well. It looks more Royal Tennenbaum. We didn't like Lost In Translation much. We thought we would but didn't.

I would too have decorations up 365 if I would also. Can't wait to see pics.
