My Weekend

I don't really have anything important to say but I feel like exercising my fingers, so I am going to write about my weekend. :D

- hubby returned home from 8-days underway; happy happy joy joy

- went and watched Shek2 in the theater, very very cute. Do take you female partners, or your male partners who appreciate cute-sy movies to see it :)

- watched Nicholas Cage's Matchstick Men on DVD, pretty decent movie

- also watched Red Water, not bad for a monster flick, at least it's not one of those monster flicks that uses porn stars who can barely recite their scripts on screen, with cheesy dialogues and nudity/girl-girl make out scenes littered throughout the movie for no obvious reasons

- attempted in buying a TV for the bedroom, got TWO bad TV's in a row, from TWO DIFFERENT places, what's the odds of that? (apparently pretty good!) Hubby was not a happy camper. When we finally got one that works, turned out the cable outlet in the bedroom does not work... and the watch-TV-bedroom saga continues...

- got into a stupid discussion with Republican hubby, which I am not going to go into details here. If I am more talented, I'd starting drawing satire, political comics about Democratic wife & her Republican husband and I could well be on my way to my $3.5 million dream house. :D But do political cartoonists make that much money? Let's see, up until yesterday, I can't name one political comic strip off the top of my head (the Sunday Doonsbury strip made quite a fuss today), and you can't make cutsie stuff animals from your characters like Garfield, Odie, or even Dilbert, Dogbert, Ratbert. Mousepad, coffeemug, tee-shirt, anatenna balls are pretty much out of the question. I guess I didn't miss much for not being able to draw. :)
