So, how was your weekend?  Mine was cheap!

Friday night I took the missus to a secluded cabin in the woods.  Armed with microwave dinners, a six pack of Miller Highlife and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, we set out for adventure.  We failed to finish off the beer and ended up watching a romance/drama flick instead, but it was loads of fun.  I'll have to stick a pic or two up.  Maybe.

By the way, the "true events" that the Texas Chainsaw yadda yadda are based on having nothing to do with Texas or chainsaws.  Some dude just liked to wear human skin, that's all.

Saturday we went to a wedding.  An outdoor wedding.  An outdoor wedding that got rained on.  Rock.  It was fun watching the musicians cover up their gear and single people go running for the nearest building so that they might preserve their well-laid plans to look good and land a date with a member of the wedding party.  Lest you think I'm cruel, I can assure you that both the bride and groom were able to laugh off the turn of events and continue the ceremony indoors and unscathed.

Then we watched the O.C.  (sigh)

On Sunday I did a lot of stuff that made me feel like my dad.  I took my family to church, mowed the lawn, changed the oil, and went to softball practice.  That night, however, things got wild and crazy when the wife and I went to Albertaco's to eat.  Whoa Nelly!  They had a website, but it expired in April.  The place is definitely a class act.

Last night I saw United 93. 

I won't say much, but I will tell you this: it avoids politics, it is un-Hollywood, and shows a very human side to both the passengers and terrorists while still firmly establishing which are the bad guys.  It is certainly worth seeing.

And because I'm me, here's a video of a guy running a red light in the way that I would invision a camel going through the eye of a needle.
