Last night, after imbibing some wine (Sav Blanc from NZ always a winner) I watched Stranger than Fiction from the Comcast On Demand menu. It was actually a really cute and clever movie with Will Ferrell, Emma Thompson (love her!), Dustin Hoffman and Maggie Gyllenhall.
Well, I should say I watched 98% of it. For some reason the cable crashed right at the very end of the movie, and I had to wait until the cable came back this morning to see the complete ending. It was very frustrating.
Before ordering that up, I watched the new episodes of The Venture Bros and Metalocalypse on the Adult Swim website. It's not quite as good as watching it on TV, but I'm also never able to stay awake to watch them Sunday nights either. Both were strong episodes, although I thought that Metalocalypse was particularly good.
Finally, today I drove out to the Eastern Shore for a family reunion. It was a nice enough drive; I have a really fun triangle sunburn on my chest from where my V-neck shirt exposed my skin. I've been listening to my Dethklok CD fairly regularly lately, so I decided to peruse our CD collection for some more CDs to enjoy on the ride. I listened to a fairly wide variety of music: Metallica's Black Album, No Doubt's Return to Saturn, Alanis Morrissette's Jagged Little Pill (sang myself hoarse!), and Def Leppard's Hysteria. I had U2's Joshua Tree, but I didn't feel in the mood for it. If I had had Achtung Baby, I probably would have sang myself hoarse a second time (I love that album). I had been looking for Motley Crue or Nirvana, but I couldn't find them before I left.
Tonight I'm looking forward to a little more wine and the BBC's version of Robin Hood.
