Weekend

This weekend, Marc and I put up our Christmas tree. It's a fake one we got a Target, I think it's 7' tall. It doesn't look bad, for being the first fake tree I've ever had. But Marc says since I'm all "Miss Pro-environment" I should have a fake tree. Grudgingly, I agree that he's right. It was a pain to assemble though. :P

So we got it all decorated, and this update was supposed to start off with a nice picture of our tree. As you can see though, it does not. Why? Because the day after we got it all set up, the lights didn't go on when they were supposed to. Why? Because the cats chewed through the lights. Yeah, like that Christmas movie with Chevy Chase, except our cat didn't get fried. Right now I can't decide if that's good or bad. So here we are, with no picture. Target sold out of our lights, so I guess I'm going to try to fix the wires and see if I can get it to work.

Once we get the tree going again, we might take a picture of us and the pets in front of the tree and send it out in Christmas cards like the weird pet people we are. Who am I kidding though, we still have a box of unopened Christmas cards we bought back in 1999.

Friday night we went to go see "Timeline." Talk about a sucky movie. I wanted to see it because I'd read the book, which was really good, but this movie stunk. Not to mention that we were surrounded by the most noisy people. But yeah, the acting? Horrible. The costuming? Horrible. The cinematography? Horrible. I mean, Paul Walker is cute, but he seriously couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. I'm just so grateful that Lord of the Rings: Return of the King is out now, and I can go watch it Friday and cleanse my pallet of that waste of film.

So yes, Lord of the Rings!!! I can't even begin to say how excited I am about it. I can't believe it's out already. This is going to be the best movie of the year, and I can't wait to see it. I would've gone to see the midnight showing (like I did last year for The Two Towers) last night, but I didn't feel like driving all the way down to Fremont to see it with my friends that late. So we're seeing it Friday. I have my tickets already. Eeeek! :) The only thing I'm bummed about is that this is the end of the trilogy, which means there won't be another one to look forward to next year.
