Pirates and Oceans Oh my!

As I said in a previous post, I went and saw Oceans 13 and Pirates of the Caribbean 3 the Tuesday before last.

Pirates was great. Much better than the second movie. And the ending ended the tale without ending everything. If they make a fourth movie it can be solid, and not feel forced for the sake of a buck if the quality is as good as either this one or the first.

Ocean's 13 was excellent - but I have always loved the sneaky/thieving stuff anyway. I love Mr & Mrs. Smith, Mission Impossible 1, etc. Definitely something that you should watch the prior movies first if you have never seen them before.

Heres for Transformers on the 2nd :)

Life is at a moderate "Blah" level.

Today was blah. Best thing is I started making a lanyard. Of course, I had to go and do an 8 strand, which has always been my limit, after doing none at all for a couple years now.

Today would of been 100% better on a Motorcycle. Maybe 500%. I wanna ZOOOM.

Irony at the Insurer's Office

Today, after grabing a cheap bite to eat at work after watching Pirates 3 and Ocean's 13, I tried to go though this strip mall behind us to take the easier way back to the freeway.

At that point in time, we had one deli and an All State insurance office in flames. About 30 feet high. Wonder what their fire insurance premiums are going to look like next month?

And right as I see even more hoses get in to the action, I notice the big sports/auto/outdoors store is advertising their water sports sale. You could almost demo in the store.

One idiot almost got a ticket for not clearing out of the parkinglot when an officer asked him to (and the officer thought the guy called him a dick, maybe he did), and many more seemed to be upset they were not allowed to pull into the parking lot and watch.

The fire took a little off the top of the Supercuts next door, too.
