Saturday
“…in the park, I think it was the Fourth of July.

Actually, it was the Fourth of May, but Chicago Transit Authority (more commonly known as ‘Chicago’) didn’t do a song about the Fourth of May, so deal with it.

Today was a good day.

  • Talked to Mom and Kris. Mom told me that a friend of mine interviewed for a position at my stepdad’s school; I told her that I knew about it last week. It was one of those “You may be the parent, but I knew something that you didn’t” moments. We laughed about it. Things are going well there. Mom’s school chorus Spring Concert is tomorrow. Hopefully, she’ll have someone videotape it and will send me a copy.
  • I finally saw Spider-Man… and the trailer for Ang Lee’s Hulk. I liked both. Quite a bit. They did a few changes in the basic Spidey story, but nothing that isn’t faithful to the character; in fact, they were similar to the changes that were made in and for X-Men.

    I am happy to say that the teaser for Hulk was just that: A teaser. No giving away what the Hulk will look like, but you get the idea that he is a powerful and destructive force. I still think that it was funny how Ang Lee slipped a little foreshadowing of this movie into the mini-film/commercial that he did for BMW last year. If you haven’t had a chance to see it, click here; see if you can spot what I’m talking about.

  • Bowling was also good. My scores were acceptable, but Angie owned the lanes tonight.
  • Traditional late night eats at Village Inn. Jaysin waited on us tonight, but Jon and Mike came over to say ‘hi,’ too.

Quote of the Day: We were talking about the Hulk trailer at V.I. and Angie spouted this gem:

    “Wasn’t the Hulk on vegetables? No, wait… that was Green Giant.” Larry and I got a good laugh out of it.

I think that covers everything.

Peace.
