Weekend Happenings...

Wow am I sore today. On Saturday morning Rachel and I drove down to Raleigh to Ashley and Andrews birthday party. The party was at this place called Pump it Up. The moment you walk in you are greated by two large men with cheesy Austrian accents wearing gray sweatsuites. Just kidding.

Pump it Up is pretty awesome. The one we were at had three party areas. The one we were in had 4 large inflatable play areas. The 1st was an inflated basketball court. You can get some serious air in there. The 2nd was this giant inflated slide that was just awesome. That is the primary reason for most of my aches and pains. The third was an obsticle course. And the 4th was a sort of inflated ski ball/basketball themed inflated station.

Rachel got a great shot of Ashley and I crash landing after we came down the big slide. I didnt get a chance to pull the pics off the camera yet, but when I do, I will post a few on here.

One of the funniest/scariest moments was when my brother-in-law Mike's dad sent his little 1 year old grandson down the giant slide. He couldnt have weighed more than 15-20 pounds so he didnt have a whole lot to keep him weighted down. He went down so fast, and so out of control that he nearly went airborn. Lucky he was ok, and wanted to go right back down the slide again. The kids looked so out of control when they went down on their own. I got a few shots showing that as well. Everyone seemed to have fun. We even got my mother in law to go down the slide with the kids.

When we got back last night, we watched Two For the Money. Man this movie was awful. The movie had no point to it, nothing made sense, and it was way too long. Don't waste your time with this movie. One of the stranger things about the movie was the football footage. The movie was supposed to be about sports handicapping of college and pro football. I guess the NFL and NCAA didn't want the bad stigma associated with sports gambling, so the movie only refered to teams by their state or city names. So it was like "So should I take Texas over Oklahoma on Saturday?" And the game footage they used was awful. It looked like it was from CBS circa 1982. Al Pacino has this really technically advanced office. They're sitting watching the game on the this giant plasma tv, but it looks like crap because it's old analong footage. Pretty silly. Horrible movie. After seeing this movie I think Jeremy Piven and Matthew McConaughey shouldn't be allowed to be in any more movies...EVER! I didn't like Jeremy Piven before this movie, but I dislike him even more after seeing him in Two for the Money and that stupid discovery channel show he does. It's basically Jeremy Piven making fun of people as he goe through god forsaken, poverty striken parts of the world. It's bad enough these people are dirt poor and starving, but then they have to deal with this moron. But what do I know? It will probably win awards for being a ground breaking documentary.

SO in summary, Pump It Up...AWESOME!!!!

Two For the Money...COULDBT SUCK MORE!!!!

McConaughey...talentless, eye candy

Piven...Class A moron

Pacino...A creepy old man

Rene Russo...starting to lose her looks
