Sorry, don’t have a review. I didn’t see it. My wife and son did. They both loved the first one and made a date to see the second long ago. They seemed to have liked it. I just saw that it made a little over $60 million yesterday. That’s crazy.
I saw most of the first movie when it showed up on HBO or SHO or Starz or whoever nabbed it. I’ll probably see the second when it gets to DVD and off of my Netflix queue.
Someone should build a wooden coaster themed to the Transformers franchise.
Speaking of building things, you may have been looking forward to another “around the house” work update this weekend. I didn’t do one. This weekend we did a little concrete aork around the driveway near the garage. We’d actually like a whole new driveway done, but it’s a bunch of slabs and a bunch of cash and low on the list of priorities, so $50 and a couple of hours got us satisfactory results that will buy us some time. I also got all of the new deck lights up and working. I just need to decide how to hide the wires and give it a finished look.
Next up will probably be a full shed and garage cleaning and organizational session. After that the only thing left on our “Summer 2009 to do around the house outside” list is the retaining wall.
No more retaining wall work until someone decides to dens Daddy a check. I have a bunch of outstanding invoices floating around and I’m just waiting for someone to pay up and then we’ll be back to the brick work. After the garage/shed thing, the bricks/walls/edging for the landscaping around the front of the house is the last thing we absolutely want done before fall (and by fall, I mean school starts and we have less time outside). The actual plants can wait until spring if they have to. Just getting the brick work done would be a huge step in the right direction. We’re getting there…then it’s back inside with fall/winter projects. Notably, the basement re-do.
And to wrap this one up, Penn & Teller: Bullshit! returns for season 7 tonight on SHO. Things seem to be starting slow with the topic of orgasms, but looking ahead I see things like video game violence, 2012 and organic foods in the upcoming weeks.
Good stuff.
