Well where were we? Oh yes. Well wifey and I headed down to Macon this past weekend to see the in laws. We got there late friday night after a stop at the outlet malls to finish up the xmas shopping. We played Rumi cube to about one in the morning. For those who don't know what rumi cube is its like a game of jin (the card game) only with tiles instead of cards and you have to be the first to get rid of all the tiles. Wifey is the usual winner of almost every game, but yours truly decided to play for keeps. I won an unprecedented amount of times and like Terrel Owens on Monday night football i left the defense in the dust. Then if that weren't enough the next night wifey and I went to town on her parents in spades. We went and saw RADIO this weekend with her folks. Now I know what you're thinking, "radio come on chris thats not cool thats sentimental." Well kiddies, like I always say "Every good sandwich needs a good slice of cheese." The movie was perhaps the most moving, sentimental, and sad/happy movie i've seen in a long while. I'm man enough to admit it, it teared me up pretty good. I haven't been that teared up at a movie since Glory or Saving Private Ryan. It truly was a cute and wonderful story. If you want to go feel good, go see it. But leave your cynicism in the car, thats my new technique to movies, leave my cynical side in the car. I've ruined too many good movies by having a bad attitude.
We went up to Atlanta after church in macon to meet up with the Crabbs. We met up with them and went to another movie, this time it was ELF, another feel good movie. Elf was pretty dang funny I must admit. "You're not santa... You stink." It was another movie you had to just be a child and laugh to your hearts content. It also put me in the holiday spirit.
I felt bad for the crabbs, we went out to dinner and they're on the Atkins diet, or as I call it, THE DIET FROM HELL!!! We went to a steak joint but they're so sick of eating meet that they settled for salads. Wifey of course got a salad, so it was up to me. I felt bad for ordering pasta and eating in front of two people who couldn't touch a carbo. So i caved to the salad call, although it was the most expensive dang salad I've ever seen--ten bucks! Next time I'll bring my own lettuce... hmm, not a bad idea. Then we got home and I had the worst diarea ever, I'd go into it but I might offend my female constituency.
I rented a Ps2 game tonight but it stinks like most ps2 games i've come accross in my one week or so of owning it. I rented Red Faction 2, a game adapted from the computer. I should have known it would have stunk. Adapted games are never as good as they are on computer. Especially on PS2. This one i can't tell if people are shoot at me or i'm blinking. I also rented teh 2 towers. I didn't like it the first time but i rented the super edition to get me in gear for the third one. That's my weekend on the initial level.
