Well, it wasn't Academy Award-winning or anything, but The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull was one of the most entertaining movies I have seen in a while. In fact, I had to really go to the bathroom before the movie even started and I couldn't bear to leave for one minute. Here's a brief clip:
What's funny is the most popular film in the series, The Temple Of Doom, I haven't even seen. All I know is it had that Data kid from the Goonies. The 1st and 3rd movies were great though. The first time I saw Raiders Of The Lost Ark I was at my grandma's house with my sister and our cousins. It was late...and the guys opened the Ark, and the spirits came out and the guy's head melted, and I was scared for my life. To this day I feel like that was the day I conquered my fear of dreamland. Oh yes, there was a fear. As a kid you never know if you're coming back or not.
I did a lot this weekend so I will leave with this word(s) of wisdom: the more you know, the more you...grow? (shrug)

"It's Gardenin' Time!"
Well, that's what The Thing from Fantastic Four would say if he were out in the backyard with his shovel and wheelbarrow. Our backyard is huge...simply huge...and to make sure all of it looks great all the time takes a round the clock effort. So, I do the next best thing: split it into shifts. Shifts lasting as long as six months ha ha. We acquired a sandbox like a month ago but have been looking for a place to put it. So, we picked this spot:
Pretty awful looking ain't it. Between the water hose that came with the house and the fence slats that even the termites won't touch (not that we have termites), I knew something had to be done. Plus, it's a perfect spot under the oak tree. So, after three or four hours of digging (various trees that had managed to take seed), raking (all the leaves and wood pieces), tilling and planting, it now looks like this:
Well, it's a little better looking right? Plus we got some new sandbox toys so now we're "good to go"!
I seem to be missing weeks on here. I will try to rectify that in the future.
Emmy had a Build-A-Bear party last weekend. Had a good time but something they sold kind of had me puzzled:
Now um...why would a stuffed bear need this? Even if the kid (or adult) were in a wheelchair, why would he want his bear to be? Now I got to get some Batman pajamas for my koala bear Tex. Will put them on him at some point. Did you know the koala bear sleeps more then any other animal? 22 hours a day. I knew I liked them for a reason heh heh.
Been doing really well at ol' Healthmarkets. I still have times when the matter is so draining that my mind feels baked afterwards. Nice to know I'm one of the gang now. I've had so many jobs in my life that I wonder if I'm ever doing a good enough job. I have a kind of mental timeline in my head where every time my position lasts longer then one of the jobs from the past, then I feel like I'm accomplishing something. So far we're past Target (one month, 1990), Olan Mills (one month, 1991), and Aegon (two months, 2007). Now coming up is Domino's (6 months, 2002), McGraw-HIll (11 months, 2004-2005), and Parks Mall (1 1/2 years, 2002-2004). I think I can, I think I can...plus, next weeked is a 3-day offer!! Nothing planned yet...but I'm sure we'll find something to do.

"The Toys Are Here!"
And a movie I think too! Been waiting for this ever since I saw "Batman Begins". This is how it should have been done years ago. Maybe we didn't have the technology. What's important is...we do now. The Dark Knight opens this summer and I know...I KNOW...I will be there to see it in the theater. Missed it the first time...but not this time. Here's a preview:
As you may have noticed, my site is kind of Batman-themed. Would love to strike fear into the hearts of those who have committed injustice. But, after looking at me, they'd just laugh and do it anyway. Plus, I heard the Batsuit weights like 70 pounds. That's all I need right?
Found these @ Walmart the day they showed up, so of course I had to pick them up:
Too cool.
So many great guy movies coming out this summer. Besides Batman, there's Ironman, Indiana Jones, and Speed Racer. I may pick up an Ironman figure. But the Indiana Jones toys look awful. Teeny tiny heads with crossed eyes...will probably not get any. Speed Racer isn't much better. There's a die-cast Mach 5 for like $25 that's pretty neat but not $25 neat.
Mother's Day is tomorrow! I got Cari a few things and have one more in mind. As for my mother, I got her a Beatles' Abbey Road puzzle that she can do either here or when Emmy spends the night since she likes puzzles too. Emmy has a Build-A-Bear party this morning and a swim party this afternoon! I may look for a shirt for my Koala bear Max. Will have to get a picture of him on here at some point.
I hope everyone out there appreciates their mom and hope it is a good relationship. Some moms just weren't meant to be one. Parenthood is the easiest job to get and the hardest one to do. My parents had their hands full with me, this I know. Patience...that's the name of the game.
