A few tidbits to share this afternoon:
1. We watched Million Dollar baby this afternoon. Wow. I just wrote a review and posted it here on Hambones.
2. It’s hotter than blue blazes outside. I went outside late afternoon to water some of my flowers. They are just so wilted out in this heat. My outdoor thermometer was in the shade and read about 105 degrees. Geesh.
3. I was reading the Sunday paper this afternoon and in doing my favorite part (looking at all the ads), I noticed one prevalent theme — everybody is having Back to School sales. Gee, it’s still July. These poor kids go back so early these days, in early to mid August around here. I don’t remember much, but I swear I remember from some point in my elementary or junior/high school years that we didn’t have to go back till right before Labor Day in early September. I know I remember this because I remember thinking every year how silly it was that we had to start one day or a half day before the Labor Day holiday on Monday. Why not just let us start back that Tuesday? I guess that’s what you call “the good ole days”🙄
We watched Million Dollar Baby Friday night. I’d wanted to see it since its release and I knew there was a lot of controversy regarding the ending so I never read much about it in the film reviews. Not knowing anything about it other than from the previews, I must say I was surprised – it was nothing like I thought it would be. I enjoyed it but Scott didn’t like it at all.
