Month: March 2003

Junior wanted to watch Batman: The Movie. You know, the GOOD one. Who am I to deny him Adam West?

Something just occured to me for the first time. See, Bruce and Dick are out for a Sunday drive and they race back to Stately Wayne Manor. Their aunt is out front in the flower beds and they wave as they run in to take the poles down to the Bat Cave. It occurred to me for the first time – what if Aunt Harriet wants to come in the house and ask Bruce a question…she won’t be able to find him. Wouldn’t she get worried if she saw him go in the house and he disappeared? I don’t care how big their house is, you would eventually wonder why two people who are home aren’t “home”.

Something to think about, anyway.

We took an Animal Crossing break (well, *I* didn’t want to, but hey, you know how it is) and went back to playing Ty the Tasmanian Tiger again. You know, sometimes you just need a break once in a while to open up your eyes. That and cheat codes.

Okay, yes, we did a cheat code, but it only helped to a certain extent. We couldn’t figure out how to finish up the Ship Rex level. Four of us all had turns. I finally looked in the water and noticed a tunnel. Duh. I can’t tell you how much effort we put in to trying to climb OVER the rocks (unsuccessfully) when we really needed to go UNDER the rocks. So the Ship Rex level was the first one that we officially “finished”. Nothing left to get at that level, and it let us get the fire boomerangs. Did I mention that I love talking about games like this because out of context it just looks surreal to say things like “get the fire boomerangs.” If I haven’t plugged it before, go buy that game. It’s only $20, and everyone who’s ever played it on our GameCube has raved about it. So go. Enjoy.

I don’t want the people running the Awards tonight to hunt me down for trademark abuse, so I’ll just call it That Awards Show.

I have no predictions. I have strong opinions, but as has been the case for the past couple of years, I haven’t seen all the movies. I’m lucky I’ve seen ANY of the movies. I wasn’t going to watch it, but then I remembered Steve Martin is hosting, and I love him. What if we meet someday, and our ongoing relationship hinges on whether or not I saw him host the 2003 That Awards Show? Well how can I not watch?

Also, picked up Inspector Gadget 2 for Junior and decided that French Stewart is a total cutie. I have loved him since 3rd Rock, but man, he’s just so excellent in this role.

Junior and I are just kind of hanging out today. He’s already done some playing outside (riding on his scooter…his bike is way too small now but we haven’t figured out when we’re going to go out to buy a new bigger one. He has some birthday money (from January) coming from Grandma, so that should really help. I’ll have to give her a call about when we’d be able to take him shopping.

It’s colder today than I thought it would be, so if you are inside using the computer (like I am) I forgive you.

If it’s New England and you are reading this during the day on Sunday, why on earth are you in the house?
