At about 11:50p on December 31st, my husband and I rushed out of our apartment and started running towards the Bay Bridge. With just a few minutes to go, we thought we could get to a prime viewing spot of the fireworks that would be shot up over the Ferry Plaza. Well, while we were running, the fireworks started going off. Oh well. We wished each other a 'Happy New Year' mid-run. We missed the count down, but we did find a prime spot and watched the beautiful fireworks in the air. I love the ones that end in a cascading veil of glitter. The smily faces too.
This past week has been movie week for us. We've tried to catch up on several of the movies we have on DVD. Movies we've collected over the last several months, but have been too busy watching the miriad of TV shows we enjoy. Yes, we watch too much TV.
Anyway, you already know we watch the new Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Memoirs of a Geisha, but this week we also saw Fantastic 4, War of the Worlds, Batman Begins, Ocean's Twelve, Sin City, Constantine, and The Life of David Gale. My husband watched The Island on his own (because I had already seen it), and Seabiscuit.
All in all, the only movie that pissed me off at the end was War of the Worlds. It made no sense, and was a total cop out. The special effects, however, were excellent. All the other movies were very good. I think my favorite of the week is Memoirs.
The TV shows are starting up again this month. It's just a handful of shows this week, so maybe we'll squeeze in another movie or two.
Only 13 more days until VEGAS!!!
