Weekend, part 2
Had a swell walk today down along the Poudre river, Kristen and me and the dogs. Not much sign of live down there, however: just a couple of other hominids, mostly engaged in riding two-wheeled contraptions called bicycles; several dozen bovines, a few equines, a flock of pigeons and a few swallows or sparrows, small birds flitting in the trailside underbrush. Perfect weather, tho, sunny, blue sky, warm, or December warm: mid 50s.
Later, we went and saw Oceans 12, Kristen, Reade and I as Connor went with Annette and her friend to see Lemony Snicket again. Oceans was OK, a chance for the stars to get some screen time and look nice with a mostly secondary plot, but enjoyable, fine popcorn time. Came home and watched The Day After Tomorrow on DVD, horrible script, mostly wooden acting (Quaid looked awful) and some keen special effects, like the weather channel's Storm Stories on steroids. No thumbs up for that one. Anderson out.
