The Roller Coaster of Activity

Friday: Nothing, just the climb before the weekend.

Saturday: Out with John to Beckett's, then Games of Berkeley, then Jupiter, and then multiple attempts to see "Inception".

We looked at the schedule, and thought it was too Long a wait to see it at the UA in Berkeley, so we got on BART and went to his place, got in his car, and went to AMC at Emery Bay. Where it was sold out. There was still plenty of time to get to El Cerrito to see it at the Rialto, but it took us 20 minutes just to get out of the parking structure. We got to the Rialto just as the previews started, but were forced to sit to the left on cowboy row.

Still, a pretty cool movie. All I can say about it is that begin paying attention the moment it starts. And while the effects are very cool, the movie itself is not effects driven like so many have been recently. It actually has a story.

Sunday: Jennifer and I had and amazing breakfast at Magoo's (cinnamon and vanilla French toast for me), then his the bead sale at JoAnn Fabrics for Jennifer's latest distraction.

The evening, I went over to my parents' for dinner for an early birthday celebration, and had some of the best corn on the cob I've had in a long time.

And today, we're back to the weekly events.

Except tomorrow should be Stage 2 of birthday festivities.
