My Mom and Dad, along with Molly and Seamus, came to babysit Fiona so Amy and I went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory yesterday and we really liked it. Johnny Depp is, by far and wide, the best actor to come from 21 Jump Street. He is also the best actor from our generation. who can come close?
typical to a tim burton film - the movie was visually pleasing. my only gripe comes with some of the dialog was a wee bit contrived.... that crap drives me nuts. There were a few lines that were hilarious and a few sight gags that made me laugh out loud.
overall - i loved the movie. i will probably get it on dvd when it comes out.
after the movie, amy and i went to Lancaster Brewing Company . I decided to do what i usually do at a place that brews it's own beer: i get a sampler. The little menu thing on the table had 5 beers and so i thought the sampler would have 5 little glasses of beer. Well well well... i was a little off base. LBC has 12 beers, of which i recieved a 5-oz sample of each. Yeeaaahhh.... all of a sudden there is 60 ounces of beer in front of me. Michael P. Holland from 10 years ago would have reveled in teh prospect of 60 ounces of beer to drink in short order. However the current version of Michael P. Holland (or MPH v33.0) looks at 60 ounces of beer and thinks: "ugh.... i don't want to get drunk in the middle of the day... i have stuff to do.... and i will be hung over tomorrow... and i will have a headache... and and and.... I JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO BE DRUNK RIGHT NOW!!!" Anyway - i drank about half of the beer - most of which i found to be very tasty. Amy drove home, i was a little headachy, it rained so i didn't have to do any work at home, anyway. We rented the Will Smith/Doug Heffernan movie Hitch which was fun to watch, but was very very predictable and outlandishly contrived, but enjoyable none the less.
went to bed around 11:15 and slept until 10:00 sunday. all in all, saturday was a really really good day.

I kind of like your blog because it's like talking to you (sort of). I guess it's like hearing you talk to FOnze and Dewey while K and A and I hang out with the babies. Also, I really like Ed Norton and Matt Damon as far as actors from our generation go. I probably like more, but my head is like a colander when it comes to movies...I can remember which ones I liked, but rarely any details unless it was an exceptional movie. Hope you're o.k.
Love,
Jen
