I decided not to do Monday's post over the weekend since Friday's post
came in on Monday. Seeing as today is Tuesday it doesn't matter in the
slightest. Pencils ready. 10 points for the reference. Anyway this
weekend saw me seeing 2 movies with my girlfriend. On Friday I saw Mars
at the IMAX. It was cool, but short. I kinda felt slighted after paying
$9 a ticket for a 40 minute movie. Saturday I went to the Studio Movie
Grill - a dinner and a movie theater and saw 8 Below. It was a Disney
movie about sled dogs in Antarctica who get left behind for 175 days. It
was pretty good. It lacked any sub plots and was slow in points but it
was good. It reminded me of the Iditarod sled dog race in Alaska. I
remember when I was 7 seeing the race and seeing the dogs. I also
remember being on a riverboat ride and seeing the sled-dog kennels on
the shore where they raised them. Alaska was pretty cool. I remember
seeing the Northern lights on a couple of occasions. Really it looked
like green clouds. The moose were incredibly huge. Most of the time when
I saw them they were halfway submerged in a pond with algae all over
their antlers. It was interesting in Alaska. I used to play across the
street in the park and the forest. Me and my friends would dig through
dumpsters and find stuff to take back to our secret fort. One day we
struck gold and found a metal kitchen cabinet. We used it to put over
the large holes we found in the forest and we had dug a couple of
tunnels from one hole to another. Then we covered each hole with wood,
or a cabinet. Now that I look back it could've been really dangerous
cause we could've got stuck in our tunnels. I was afraid the bears would
get into our fort so I went home and got some lighter fluid out of the
garage. I figured they wouldn't eat our fort if I covered it in lighter
fluid and covered all of the surrounding trees in lighter fluid. I was a
bright boy with future CEO written all over me. That night there was a
big thunderstorm. I went back to place the next day and discovered black
ashes all over the place. Funny it was everywhere where I put the
lighter fluid. I wonder what happened?
