Extra Time

Guess I don't have to worry after all. The Rick Springfield date is the night before the Def Leppard/Bryan Adams date so I'm doing both! That will be an awesome weekend.

I have been having so much knee trouble over the last month. It's almost like I don't have feeling between my knee and ankle, except for muscular pain. I also get a weird bone popping sensation mostly in my right knee. When I go to bend it forward it feels like the knee joint wants to take my knee sideways. I hope to see the doctor on the 15th, but I have to find out what the up front costs are. I have the best coverage at my job, but there always seems to be some initial out of pocket expense that costs a fortune. I still haven't seen a chiropractor due to that. It stinks getting old and feeling it.

It has been a wonderfully quiet weekend. I've seen a couple of movies, watched a Dead Zone marathon. Got a new battery backup so that my second PC can run now, and have done a few chores around the house. We are grilling out tonight. It might be a roommates evening hanging out.

The movies I saw were War Of The Worlds and The Longest Yard. War Of The Worlds is such a tough story to translate to the screen. I can see why the family story was done so that you have someone to cheer for. The real draw back is that humans don't defeat the aliens. The aliens just can't survive in Earth's atmosphere. That makes the end kind of dead. I expected that so the movie was pretty good, in my opinion, but I can see where others will have trouble getting it and it won't be the blockbuster that everyone expected it to be.

The Longest Yard was hilarious! I know it isn't a true remake of the original since it isn't as gritty, but this is still a very funny and entertaining movie. I was very impressed. My roommate, Derek, loves funny movies, but he doesn't usually laugh out loud. During this movie, he was laughing out loud. I'm not really a big Adam Sandler fan, but he does make some good movies. This one was hilarious!

Next weekend I have my daughters and I will take them to see either Herbie: Fully Loaded or Fantastic Four. I grew up on the Herbie movies and I love them all. I'm also a superhero fan. I will see them both, but they get to decide which one they want to see. I'm just nice like that.

Hopefuly, we will have some nice weather and get to go swimming, too. I'm actually getting tanned in a few spots!
