Well Ladies and Gents, its Valentine's Day that wonderful holiday where women around the world have 1 more reason to be upset at their man. There is one lesson I learned this time around: If you post a comment about the two possibilities a man has for the end of Valentine's Day ... and your wife reads it ... the good ending is completely out of the question and sleeping in the same bed is a question mark. It's all good though since we have comfortable couches.

Now, that's not to say I didn't do anything special, if you call watching TWO movies special and neither one was really a chick flick. We went to see Miracle and Lost in Translation. I'm lucky enough to be married to a hockey fan, so going to see Miracle was as good for her as it was me. Kurt Russell was phenomenal as Herb Brooks. The hockey games were believable, even edge of your seat type games. The movie does not pretend that we don't know the outcome, but tries to portray the emotion of that time and those games. Even if you are not a hockey fan, this is one good movie. I do have one complaint about the movie. Well ... not so much about the movie, but about the previews. We're watching a macho hockey movie and in the previews they have this stupid Julia Stiles movie called The Prince & Me. When this trailer played, there was an audible sigh from every single woman in the room. GREAT! Every man in there got screwed because now our wives are going to make us watch that stupid movie. *sigh*

Lost in Translation was a very good movie, but a little bit of a head scratcher. I can't say I understood most of it, but Bill Murray was excellent. Scarlett Johansson is one serious ... wait ... that's right ... my wife reads this ... Scarlett Johansson is rather nice looking young lady and I'll just leave it at that.

Finally, I would like to recognize the most romantic couple I have ever seen: Gomez and Moritica Addams. These 2 were the most loving, caring, into each other people I have ever seen. Congratulations to the happy couple and may they have many ghoulish returns.


HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA .... As Alf would say, "I kill me!"
