la_samtyrThis morning started out as cool and chilly so I could not work in the yard as planned. Instead I thought about doing some baking and then I decided to run errands and try to catch the 1pm matinee for POTC 4.
So, I drove in and arrived on time (yay!), actually a little bit ahead. I priced some new shoes and yikes! the price! =/ I did like them though and I should have a really nice pair for special travel etc. I hesitate to spend nearly $100 on shoes but I think I will invest in a really good pair anyway; as the saying goes: no hoof, no horse. And a lot of my shoes are pretty shabby-looking right now since I use them for hard work. (They've lasted a really long time though.)
Then it was off to see the movie (more on that later, under the cut just in case). From there I went to see if I could manage to get a newer cell phone in case of emergency -- while driving mostly -- since my new telephone is a landline only. That took longer than expected, and I picked up more kitteh nomz at the Evil Empire. A quick supper of fried grease and sugar water, and I came home early.
About the movie:
It was good, and I really enjoyed it. *However*, I did not *love* it as I did the first for a variety of reasons but I do believe that a good part of the reason is because of the damned 3-D. I mean, I am aware of the 3-D effect but there are times when I am only aware of the 2-D. Why this is, I don't know. But it does give me a headache, and honestly I think that most of the current movies are just too damned long. I have said this before and I will say it again: cut them down, make them lean and fast -- there's a reason dvds and blu-rays have room for deleted scenes, and *this is the reason, damn it!* There were a lot of good things in it but again, too long and bloated.
Ok, I need to take a nap now. Back later on, maybe? Ttyl!
