Robots and Girlfriends
This weekend I went back to my old home town of Wichita Falls. Not much really changes there. They might have had a couple of new places pop up and the old highway is finally finished, but it is still basically the same. If anything it has gotten older. I went and saw "Robots" while I was there. They revamped the theater, but kept the seats the same. Here in Dallas our movie theatre seats are stadium seating and the seats recline backwards. In Wichita it is like you are at a rodeo. The movie was pretty good. I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars. What it needed was more subplots, but I guess for being a kiddie movie it wasn't that important. I go see most computer animation movies and compare them to the old movies. I heard some people talk about how it was better than Shrek 2. Nope, there weren't very good textures and the robots all had this computer generated type feel to them. There was some off the wall humor that made it funny. If I were 10 I would've loved it. But, it was entertaining. This time I saw the Star Wars Trailer on the big screen. It looks really good. I saw 60 Minutes on Sunday with George Lucas. They asked him about why he is single and he is like "Every single person is told that they have too high standards." I was in total agreement. I don't think I should settle just because I want a girlfriend. I'm after the gold. Anyway, if you want a short laugh I'd recommend Robots.
Thought of the Day
"Can I have a medium diet coke?"
"Do you want the medium size or the middle size?"
"What's the difference?"
"Well, we have three sizes - medium, large and jumbo."
"What happened to the small?"
"There is no small. Small's medium."
"What's medium?"
"Medium's large and large is jumbo."
"Okay, give me the large."
"That's medium."
"Right. Can I have a small popcorn?"
"There is no small. Child-size is small."
"What's medium?"
"Adult."
"Do adults ever order the child-size?"
"Not usually."
"Okay, give me the adult."
"Do you want butter?"
"Is it real butter?"
"It's butter flavoring."
"What is it made of?"
"It's yellow."

We didn't do much this weekend. I worked on Saturday morning. We had originally planned to go to WF this weekend, too, but the wife was still a little too sick. We did enjoy some of the very nice weather, and played with our daughter in the back yard. Saturday night, I consumed a few jim Beam and cokes while we watched 2 movies. Sunday, I did see the Star Wars segment on 60 minutes. It's hard to imagine George Lucas doesn't at least have a girlfriend.
