Middle America's Worldview

My night out with my wife for our 10th anniversary was great! Her dad picked up the kids a bit earlier than expected. I was hoping to get out early as well, but that didn't work out. My scheduled conference call lasted 1.5 hours. I was thinking more of a 20 minute call would occur. Someone took my on-call for the night, so no worries there.

We went out to a resturant we had not been since we were engaged. Being young and new, we had gone to it as a celebration of our marriage engagement, so only fitting to return to it for our 10th anniversary.

After dinner we went to Books-a-million and walked around. I love looking at books and it was a pleasure to view my interest (computer, ect.) without a bother. It was also interesting to see the people already showing up for the Harry Potter book release. They had setup a table in the back and the employee's was dressed as characters. I never read any of the books, but there was much chatter about it.

Saturday
I was awaken with work issues, so the one night relief was good to have. I took the kids out to watch Fantastic Four. I know Aggressive Voice flamed it pretty hard, but I personally liked it. I had a friend inform me, it was worth just seeing Jessica Alba. After seeing it, I have to agree. Man, I need to start watching Dark Angel. I admit the movie was nothing more than a intro to the characters. I also know the main actors/actress signed up for a 2 movie contract. Thus in my opinion, it's a clear attempt to gain more money by having this and another movie draw out the audience, toys, ect, ect. There was a couple of moments, I was concerned for my kids viewing, but they seem to roll with it.
