Midnight Madness
OK, so I went to see Star Wars Episode III last night (this morning) at midnight. Well, not exactly midnight. The ticket stated that it was a 12:05 AM movie. After all of the commercials and trailers, the movie started at 12:30. There were some decent trailers. Batman Begins, Fantastic Four, War of the Worlds. Some crappy trailers. Stealth. And some intriguing ones. I don't recall the name of the movie, but it's a Disney movie where some kids are transported to some magical realm. Looked a lot like Lord of the Rings.
Well, the movie itself...WOW! It was pretty exciting. It was a quick 2.5 hours. If 2.5 hours at work would go by that quickly. Again, wow! It was that good. Some of it was hard to understand (e.g. Darth Sidious communicating through the hologram). The soundtrack was nice and loud. Action scenes were intense. Dialogue was OK, other than the sappy love stuff and Anakin still being a little whiney beyotch.
But none-the-less, it was good.

Rain...Lotsa Rain
It happened to rain today, and boy did it rain. Flooded the street and everything. Never seen the water get as high as it did today. I didn't help that the storm drains weren't working as they were supposed to. I'm no storm drain engineer, but it seemed that it didn't seem as if they worked they way they were supposed to. But after about 45 minutes it drained out completely.
It didn't help that some peckerhead that lives 2 housese down decides to drive his yukon through the water...pushing the water up higher in my lawn, thus depositing the trash further up my lawn. He didn't need to do that. He came by one time, stopped and turned around. He could have easily parked his car in his driveway (he didn't have to go through the water to get to his house). But he decides, "hey, i'll drive thorough the water (even though I don't live on that side of where the water is)". And then turn around and go right back through it. Then park his car. No need at all to do that. I wanted to get a bucket of the water from the street, go ring his doorbell, throw the water on him, and say "that's what you get fucker, why you have to make the water go up higher on my lawn when you didn't even need to pass my house to get to yours?".
Luckily I moved my brother in law's car before that, b/c if fucker down the street rolled by, my brother in law's car would have probably been flooded out.
Ah the joys of the neighborhood.
