Merry Family Day to All
Feb. 18th, 2008 09:27 pm... and to all, a good three-day weekend.
I hope you all spent as much time as possible with your families on this silly made-up holiday, whether you wanted to or not. I got an hour with my father, playing Boggle and teaching him how to use the text-messaging feature on his cell-phone, and then I went to see 'Step Up 2 the Streets' with my mother and sister.
'Step Up 2' is, as expected, a little light on plot, but -- as expected, again -- the dancing is always fun to watch. At the beginning the thought "I think I may be too white for this movie" kept running through my head, but I learned to stay focused all through that crazy "street" slang once I realized that all the actors in it were also too white for that over-embellished dialogue. Including the black people. I loved the character of Moose, who is adorable, and I think the last dance sequence in the rain is worth sitting through all the strained lead-up.
But who am I kidding? It's Monday, after 9pm, and I'm posting. Obviously, I'm going to talk about Prison Break.
