HP 3D
Category: movies

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was a delight. I am glad to have seen it at the regal IMAX. 3D portion was fun.

It made me think that that whole scene could be made into an amusement attraction in the likes of Spiderman/Mummy found at Universal.

I never bought popcorn before at a movie theater. Somehow it just sounded good, and seeing as I was paying 12$ to see the movie, a few more bucks to round out the event wasnt going to hurt. Did you know that there are no prices on the "deals" board? A medium pop and medium popcorn cost 12$ I think. gah

They were both monstrous in size. Ridiculous, really, unless sharing. I didn't even see small as an option. Anyway, I ate a handful of popcorn and offered off the rest-- I made sure to eat all the butter coated pieces first. I don't actually *like* popcorn. It just sounded good.

I also realized that I hadn't been inside an IMAX auditorium before. Not that I recall, anyways. I really don't get out much to the movies.

Anyway, I enjoyed the movie--Good music, visuals, feel. And Snape. Oh yes, theres just something about Snape.

Go see it if you havent already! :)

Hope your weekend was fun!

yep, market arcade popcorn is so tasty i actually polished off a giant bag with terry and matthew once...i'm usually only good for 2 cups worth. the ghetto 4 seasons cheap seats has really good popcorn too.

I admit that I have never made it to an IMAX movie. I was at an IMAX Theatre as I was exploring a building in Toronto but I couldn't figure out how you got to the movie plus it was to late to see one anyways. One of these days I may make it to one, but the only one I know of seems so far out there in the burbs somewhere. Glad you had fun. Maybe the popcorn has to be huge because since the screen is bigger the Popcorn has to be in proportion to the screen :) , HA. Not sure if the regal still does it or not But it used to be if you bought there huge tub of popcorn you got a refill. I did that once I got one and not sure how I finished it. Saw a second movie I liked went to see that and got a refill but not sure if they still do that or not. In any event glad you had a good time.

i agree, market arcade has THE BEST popcorn i've ever had. i've actually stopped in there just to buy popcorn to take home.

we've seen harry potter already, but we're going to go to IMAX as well. how long is the 3D portion? i thought it was the whole movie?

and yes, snape....ahh.

oops...glad that was good. Ratatouille? not so much, but the Market Arcade makes the popcorn so worth it.

Point Breeze and BarnYard Adventures
Category: travel

Dana came over and we headed out in no particular direction. Our original thought was to find "Kraft Jet Puffed StrawberryMallows"- yes, they make excellent s'mores medium- more on that another time. Anyway, a few twisted and turns later, we found ourselves driving out on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon along route 18.

We ventured out to Carlton/Waterport, NY (route 18) to explore the Point Breeze area. Hadn't been there in years- I remember sitting by the water writing in a paper journal the last time I was there, several years ago. I am curious to find it and read what my thoughts were at that time!!!

Peaceful area, blink and you miss it. Located along Lake Ontario an hour east of Youngstown. I have always enjoyed the pier and looking out at the lake. Businesses have come and gone, but each time there is something new to explore.

Like Barn Yard Adventures! part of Brown's Berry Patch (farm market, ice cream, grill, pick your own fruit, etc:

Point Breeze:

Lovely Piers

Fit Has a Feeling
Category: silliness

I took my bike out for a good hard ride this evening.

I feel like vomiting. Apparently I need to step up my aerobic activity. Ok, admittedly I was riding a bit wild and fast. A speed nut, zip zip peddling quick and hard without warm up or warm down.

You know those commercials for Propel Fitness Water, where the tag line is, "fit has a feeling" ?

I can really identify with them.

Tonight, I was Lance Armstrong, lol

metalpeter - 07/07/07 10:36
When I read your tittle I knew it was a tag line for some product just wasn't sure what it was. Now I know you little Gorilla Markerter (kidding of course) Also when I read that first line the way it was writen I thought is a bike what she is really talking about. But seriously riding a bike is a great way to get fit. Just becarefull where you are ridding with traffic. Aerobic activity is good for the heart and the rest of the body, I know I don't get any at all. Hope you have a great rest of your weekend and if that encludes riding again that will be an extra bonus.
