Mothers Day Gardens
Category: photos
Well Mothers day was interesting we wound up going to the botanical gardens. Maybe it was just me but it seemed smaller since I went last, I think some of the rooms might not have been opened. There will also be some pictures from Buffalo also.

Thanks for all the nice comments. It was a nice time, I'm still not sure that I got to see everything. The waterfall wasn't going and it didn't seem as warm as I remember it being in the past.

I love the botanical gardens. Its is so nice in there, even when the weather is not so nice outside.

That is my Niece Maya, she is being held by my sister but you can't really see my sis in that picture. She is also holding her so she can put her hand in the water later on in the pictures and in another picture in the set someplace. I have more pictures of them that I didn't post. I have to admit I wish I had the Camera Skills of a few people on this site, But I'm happy with the pictures I got. Yes having better what I call photographic vision would still be pretty cool, it just isn't a talent I have. I tried on the outside pictures near my place (going to the bank and coming home from Star Trek). The other pictures of buffalo where through the window of a moving car, the highways didn't line up right to get any of the AUD. Hope everyone had a great weekend and for those that did something had a good mothers day.

Star Trek and More
Category: entertainment
So I went to see the new Star Trek Movie. I don't want to give anything away so I can't say to much. The one thing that did bother me a little bit was that I know one of the Main Characters as someone else from a TV show, it was hard to see him as Spock when you know him as this other guy who is nothing like him. Besides for that I found the movie was very good. I also want to mention the previews for The Transformers, GI Joe and the new Terminator movies all make them look amazing. I don't think they can be as good as the shows. It is a different media and so it can't be as good as animation can be.

Busy Week
Category: entertainment
So the week has been busy. It started out with dinning out for life. Yes there is a long wait everywhere and so you have to factor that in. I think it is a good cause. It gets people to go out and eat. Hey if the food is good they will come back. Then money goes to a good cause as well. We went to Boomerangs on Niagara St. The food was very good and I tried this chicken wing soup that was very tasty. I even got home in time to watch Fringe.

So On Thursday Night I went to go see "L Save the World". I will admit it wasn't the same as the 2 other movies. First of all with an event like that I now found it is better to go as a group. But I still had a good time and had food at applebee's before the movie. The movie was different there was no Kira and Yes it was a Death Note movie so there was one and a Shirigamie but that wasn't what the movie was about. It was L trying to stop a Biological attack. It was good just not what I thought it was. I get that people like to talk to the movie but the stuff that was being yelled just didn't seem to make sense. The movie started late do to some issue and because of that I got a pass for a free show, well everyone did. I used it to go see the new Wolverine movie it was very good. Lots of action and story and all that good stuff.

Last night was Jerry Seinfeld. I thought he was pretty funny and so was his opening act. I was a bit back but it didn't take away from anything. He talked back to hecklers that was funny. He answered some questions at the end. Before the show I checked out this place called Caberet and since I didn't have a reservation sat at the bar and ate. I thought the Roast Beef and drinks I had where pretty good. Plus the person who waited on me seemed to be running the place taking orders making multiple drinks at a time. She was blond and hot and really good at her Job. Plus the place wasn't to costly either.

Other then Lets Go Bandits I feel like I'm forgetting something.....

little cheesey to do this but here is a little update:Last Night I went to the Bandits game and we won a tough Game vs. Boston. I wish I could go to NYC and go watch them play the titans the winner is the East Champs. So that added to the busy week. Then On monday I go back to work and go to Monday Night Raw. That should be a fun time. So Hopefully I will start the picture process of up loading and downloading and posting then.

I also heard an ad for someplace else I want to try in that same building. Hope everyone has a good weekend, unless you are a Titans fan then I hope you have a bad weekend. I'm hoping to go see Star Trek either downtown or on Elmwood at sometime on Saturday.

Stardust and Shooter
Category: movies
Well on Sunday I did get to see two movies that I wanted to. Often I don't know where the time goes. The third movie I wanted to see I couldn't stay awake for, "Super High Me" . Some comedian made a documentary where he doesn't smoke weed for 30 days and then he smokes weed for 30 days in a row. I thought it might have been interesting oh well, maybe that station will show it again.

I don't know how to even talk about stardust. It is an adventure movie with kings trying to kill each other over the thrown and then there is a love story, there is a unicorn and witches and stars and stardust. I thought it was pretty good and really enjoyed it.

Next I watched Shooter. Mark Walhberg plays a sniper in the army. The army leaves him for dead and then years later he is needed to stop an attempt to Kill the president. He winds up being set up and then there is a mystery and lots and lots of action. Hey I'm not a fan of his acting style but it was a pretty good movie is that is your kind of thing. I watched both movies through the Showtime on demand service.

I thought Stardust was great. They did a really nice job adapting one of my favorite books! I was surprised how well it turned out.
metalpeter - 04/28/09 17:34
Yes I should Have mentioned the Robert De Niro part, that was a great part of that movie, well all his scenes where the way he was one guy to the crew and he was this other guy really, what a great movie.
theecarey - 04/28/09 15:33
I have Stardust- loved it. Much better than my initial expectations. Robert De Niro played a fun character :)

Haven't seen the other one, Shooter.
theli - 04/28/09 09:45
You forgot "Robert De Niro playing an extremely effeminate pirate captain."

Go, Gaiman! Go!
