Idiocracy was enjoyable. A little bit uneven at times, but on the whole it was a fun satire on our consumer culture. Luke Wilson was excellent. I am pretty sure he always is. I can't remember seeing him in a movie that didn't make me laugh a bunch of times. The best thing is he creates comedy out of commonplace unfunny dialog. if other people said it, I wouldn't laugh. But, he just has a delivery that makes me laugh. He was great in it, as was the woman who I had never seen before. It was an interesting cast, with lots of big names in small parts. And, a semi Bottle Rocket reunion with both Bob and Rocketman in small roles. It doesn't have the relevance that propelled Office Space to a cult classic. So, I think Idiocracy will just be a funny movie that Judge made, instead of a movie that everyone has quoted at least once in their lives. But, still fun. And, I am not sure why Fox did such a bad job distributing it. He doesn't seem to have good luck in getting movies into theaters. We'll see what he does next time.
I made chocolate chip cookies on Sunday and went the extra decadent step of crushing potato chips into little pieces and sticking them into the cookies. If you think that is a bad idea you have no idea what you are talking about, because they wound up being delicious. It's nice to bake when it's so cold out. Last night I made up a tuna casserole (I never made that before) and it turned out pretty tasty. It was just an effort to get rid of the extra minestrone veggies, but, it was a worthy effort.
I talked to my friends Pat and Jen this week and got some really exciting news. I am hoping that I can go out and see them at some point this summer. Actually, starting to think about my plans for the summer now. Fun speculation, hopefully, I can make most of it come true.
Here are a couple of pictures from a hike I took last week up to Inspiration Point.
Here's the view from the top at sunset. It was a bit cloudy so we couldn't see the comet, but it was still a nice hike.
And, here we are down near the bottom. I can't for the life of me, take a picture with my camera's night setting without shaking a little bit and making everything blurry. I don't know what that's about. So, this is the best I could do.
