It's a great weekend out there

I was outside a few minutes ago w/maggie and the weather was just as pleasant as can be. It's 6 days until Halloween and 10 days until the election. I was going to get some tickets for Cats in December online but i think i'd rather go in person to the ticketmaster to get them. It's quicker that way. Quicker in the sense that i'll have them in my hand the same day.

I was watching some of the stuff i recorded during the week. I watched this week's episode of Two and a Half Men and the Mentalist. I still have about 14 titles to watch, some NCIS, eleventh hour and csi. All in due time.

Ran some errands earlier, all done before 11:00am. That's awesome. Had to get some postage stamps and mail out some bills. I'm feeling a little sick this weekend so i just came home after i went to the bank and walmart to get some toiletries. Maybe i'll go out later or tomorrow. Maybe i'll feel better then. It must be the change in the seasons but i've got a slight cold, nothing too bad. Just a sore throat and a few sneezes but i'm medicated so i'm okay.

gotta go, got lots to do, which include finishing up, or in my case, starting the assignment that's due tomorrow. Always at the last minute but i think better under pressure.

Mid week hello

Went to see Max Payne last weekend. I thought it was another superheroe movie but it turned out to be a movie based on a video game. I've never even heard of it (so I'm not a gamer) but i wanted to see it anyways, it looked like a good movie. It was. Even though it was killed by the critics (who really cares what they think) it liked it, it was pretty good and the action rocks. You don't even notice the time go bye. That is my measure of a good movie. when it ends and all you can say is wow, where did the time go. I recommend it. It was a free movie anyways because last time we went to see Babylon AD the sound was so bad that the manager gave us two passes.

Also made another batch of rum balls, you can't get enough of those.

Last night's episode of Heroes was pretty good, it featured Mr Petrelli, the father and at the end of the episode, he stole Peter's abilities. All of them. He didn't die but now all those cool abilities are good. He also stole them from Adam who was an immortal so of course he withered and died. Finally. Tonight is House and Fringe-that's a cool new show and it's a good thing is comes out after House. Tried watching Dancing with the Stars but it's more boring than usual this season. Too bad they canceled Reaper, that was a good show, oh, well, but they insist on showing more episoded of 30 rock-like anyboy ever watches that show.

This week they're having a golf tournament across the street at the Oak Hills Country Club. Yeah, this people shell out money to play golf but are too cheap to pay for parking. Here's two of those cheapskate using up the space in front of our house:

Congratulations to Juanes for winning four MTV latino awards, one of them being Artist of the Year. I just watched to live performance of Odio Por Amor. The video is supposed to have premiered yesterday but it's not on You Tube yet. It's gonna be in the live version of the recent cd. It has comes w/video. It's coming out next month.

Enjoying the weekend

Had to go to work for a couple of hours this morning but the rest of the weekend is free to enjoy. It's been awhile but it's been hectic, been putting in 10 hr days at work but here i am. Last weekend i came across a recipe for key lime pie, which is one of my favorites, probably because it's tart as opposed to sweet, which i rarely eat. Tried it out, since we have plenty of lemons from the three trees in the backyard.

Here's the latest crop:

Used up almost all of them and the rest were made into lemonade. When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade :) The pie came out pretty good, although next time i'll probably use less than the suggested one cup of lemon juice but after it was left standing for a few days it lost some of the punch from the juice.

We tried a couple of slices and i think there's still some in the fridge. Took some to work a couple of times and i think it's time to throw it out. There's another recipe that uses cool whip and strawberries that requires no baking all you have to do is freeze it so maybe that's my next project.

Last weekend we went to see Eagle Eye. It was pretty good, i think it was over two hours long but it was one of those movies that keep your interest and you don't even notice the time going by. We still have those two movie passes that we got last time when the theatre sound system was all screwed up and they couldn't fix it. At least we got a free movie out of it. Maybe tomorrow we can catch one because today we are at home doing some organizing, you know, paperwork and stuff. There's some new movies coming out this weekend but since Halloween is this month, almost all of them are scary ones.

This week in tv viewing was okay since there was no new episode of House because of the presidential debate. Have to wait til next Tuesday. Heroes was pretty good on Monday but this thing keeps going and going, it's always "to be continued". I hope i don't get tired of that and decide it's not worth the effort like when i used to watch Lost. Maybe this will be different because it's cool since it has to do with superheroes. My next favorite day to watch tv is Thursdays because i watch smallville and supernatural. You know me, i'm a sci fi geek and proud of it. Recorded other shows to watch on the weekend since there's nothing on tv. Maybe i'll go watch those now.
