My 17th Post!!!

So I've discovered that I am terrible at keeping up with this blog. I guess my life is just that boring so there's not very much to write about. However, since I haven't written, I have a few things that I would like to cover.

Movies: Superman Returns: It was alright... of course no one will do it quite as well as Christopher Reeves... but this new guy comes pretty close and it is a little creepy how much he looks and sounds like Reeves. Another wannabe was played by Kevin Spacey as Lex Luther... again, Gene Hackman played it the best. All in all, it was alright... entertaining (which a movie should be) but a little too much sappiness.

Pirates: All I can say is that it was good to see the gang back together again... however, it was as if I entered midway through an action-packed book of sorts--no beginning and no end! There was so much flying at the viewers that even my little brother had a hard time following it. It was a brilliant economic strategy, though, because the end will entice everyone to NEED to see the third and final film. So I don't want to say too much, but shouldn't some of the supporting characters from the last film be dead???

Fourth of July:
Jim and I had a blast! I was so excited that he could come with me to stay the day at my Aunt's and Uncle's house in Occonomowoc. We went boating, played around in the pool, and had a really good cookout with bbq-ed chicken and different sausages. The fire works the night before were alright too. We had the most perfect spot to see them--nearly right beneath them when they opened up! They were about 45 minutes late and all due to what rumors say was the operator's fault for being on oxycotin. I was a little unimpressed with their finale... they shot some off in succession and then a few more went off but it was nothing all to finale-ish.

Wedding News:
After a very trying day with my parents, and as they seemed slightly reluctant, we were able to put a deposit down on the Vineyard (see link above). I absolutely love this place and I know that Jim is just as crazy about it as I am! We're so excited to have our wedding reception there! It will be a good time had by all!

School News:
I just finished my first and final class for the summer. I obtained an AB in the course, which will hopefully raise my GPA slightly. Otherwise, it is sad to think that we only have a month and a half of summer left and then school and then... coldness!

North Korea:
So, I tend to keep my witts about me for the most part and gather as much info that I can on a subject before I let myself be worried. Therefore, who do I think knows all... nobody but Jim! Recently I asked Jim if he had any thoughts about whether or not there was a possibility of attack by the North Koreans. He really didn't tell me anything more than what I already knew... but it was comforting to hear him say it. There's always a risk of attack when a nation that doesn't like us much, begins developing nuclear weapons. I don't know, the world is shrinking so quickly that it's almost a rediculous thing to attack another nation.

Remaining Plans for the Summer:
-Finish a 2000 piece puzzle
-Go to the Milwaukee Public Zoo
-Go to Noah's Ark in the Dells
-Finish big planning for wedding
-Rent a dozen more movies to watch with Jim
-Make Jim dinner... hmmm... that could be hazardous to his health...?


Thanks for reading! :) Stay cool!
