Weekend

Friday night Jen and I went and saw Jumper with some of her co-workers.  By the way, I knew movies were expensive, but my goodness I almost pooped my pants when the lady, who we will call Witch, said 19.50 for not five tickets but two tickets.  I had to ask her how many tickets I just ordered, but Witch confirmed it’s 9.50 per ticket.  I asked Witch if they had Military Discounts and she promptly said “No, it’s AMC’s policy”.  After some discussion of how ridiculous it is that they do not have military discounts I paid the 19.50 and left.  I guess when I turned my back she didn’t know that my lovely wife Jen was watching and she caught Witch laughing.  I talked the manager, but the manager about Witch laughing, but that was pretty useless.  I’m half tempted to put AMC theaters on the “List” they would be joining a highlighted cast of Wal-Mart, Orlando, and Jacksonville…we shall see.  Back to Jumper, it was an alright movie I mean I wouldn’t nominate it for an Academy Award.  Jen said she kept waiting for the climatic part of the movie and before she knew it was over.  She felt like nothing really happened and I can see that.

Sunday night was the premiere of the new Knight Rider TV movie.  I grew up watching Knight Rider and I still watch it if I can catch an episode of it on TV, so I was really looking forward to it.  Jen and I watched about an hour of it before we went to bed.  I probably would have watched the whole thing, but I was a bit disappointed.  The opening song was somewhat like the original and the acting I think could have been better.   Don’t get me wrong there were some good parts in the movie, but nothing that really grabbed my attention.  I’ll watch the rest probably tonight and just hope that NBC does not destroy my childhood show.

All they need next is to remake Airwolf, but if the TV movie destroys that memory I don’t know what I will do.  Maybe they should just leave it how it is.

So most of you know about my decision of reenlisting into the Guard and I’m going to get with the recruiter sometime this week and sit down and talk about the units around here.  Pending on what happens with that, I am more than likely going to reenlist.  Eventually I will need to take physical fitness test so I started running again so I can back into shape and boy oh boy my legs are killing me.  Long distance running has always been my weak point so I really need to work at it.  For the test I need to run 2 miles in 16:36 so I really need to get to work.

Till next time folks….

Question..

It is a Friday night and I am sitting in the downstairs lobby of the Hampton Inn can life get any better. So we are in Orlando right now or at least until Sunday morning. What are we doing in Orlando you ask. Jen got her PE license today..eh, well actually she took her exam today. However I am being very confident for her, because she does not want to be over confident. So somebody needs to do it. So it was a pretty long day for her exam started at 7:15 this morning and she got done about 6 I guess and we will find out the results in December sometime.

My mom came up today for the weekend to visit with us since we could not get down there to see her. We would have loved to go down home, but after an already long drive I could not bear find the energy to drive another 2 hours back home. It’s really good to see her I just wish I was able to see everyone else. I do not know when we will be able to get down to see the rest of the family, but I hope one day soon. Stupid money and everything being expensive. I wish I could put money on “The List”.

So tomorrow we’ll be going to Sea World because military and family can get in for free. It’s funny because Sea World was never in the plans. Here’s how it went down Wednesday night at dinner Jen and I ran into one of her old friends from New York who happens to have a job at Sea World. He said he would try to round up some extra tickets for us and get us in the back to pet the penguins. He was not able to get us the tickets, but I remembered the military thing so it works out. He said he would still get us in the back with the penguins though. One word…awesome.

So I have been in Orlando a whole two and a half days I have come to the conclusion that one, I do not miss Florida and two Orlando people are jerks. So Orlando and Jacksonville are both on “the list”. Actually Jacksonville has always been on “the list”, long story, but now Jacksonville has company. By the way I got lost in a parking lot twice today. Well not really lost it was really more stuck then anything. Parking lots here are limited on exits..must have been a supply shortage.

So yesterday marked a very important day. ::Drum roll please:: the preview for 24 season 7 came out. I cannot wait for this season, it looks to be probably the best yet. Do not get me wrong last season was good, but it could have been better. Tony is back with a huge twist, CTU is gone, and, Jack is well doing what he does best, killing terrorists. So it’s only October and the new season starts in January. By my math If you start watching Monday I think you can get through all of the seasons before the new one starts. Can’t wait to hear what you think. Till next time.
