My absence over the past days can probably best be blamed on the fact that I worked the last ten days in a row without any time off. That streak ended last night, and there was much rejoicing.
Walked down to Channelside Friday evening after work for dinner and a movie with Kurt and Nikki – a pricey night, that’s for sure, but it was nice to go somewhere other than straight home after work! Another of my many desired “tourist stops,” I’d never actually been down there before, so it was kinda neat to see what all of the fuss is about, between the shops and the street performers and the live music – pretty cool. Of course, the main draw for the evening was an opportunity to see Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban…
And what better place to see such a beautiful movie than at an IMAX theater, right?! Wow – the scenery in this latest episode truly was amazing and I think the five-story screen really played a huge role in helping to portray the setting…no pun intended. I even found myself agreeing with the critics on this one – not only was this the best Harry Potter movie to date, but I think it was the first one that I’ll say was accurately transferred from paper to film – they really did a good job with this one. Did I mention that it was an IMAX film???
Today was just one of those days best spent sitting around the house playing video games and writing because tomorrow is going to be one of those days where I have to drag my ass out of bed at the butt-crack of dawn on a Sunday to go in for a meeting at work where we’ll all be treated like grade schoolers for a period of three hours. Topics of discussion are said to include how to dress for a business environment, how to clean up after yourself, and how to get your lazy, border-line unemployed ass to work on-time – should be a good time for all!
Not that I’m at all bitter about it – we are being provided with free bagels, mind you…
