UP, UP,...AND A WATCH OUT!!!















My wife and I have had few dates in recent times, so tonight we decided to do the traditional dinner and a movie. On route to Bugaboo Creek, Sarah let out a startled noise, which was similar to "Mughhh!" or a "Heeblaha!" or some other invention that would earn you a win in scrabble. The sound was in reaction to a deer that was standing next to the road. Now the stupid thing for the deer to do, would be to try to cross the highway. This means, that in any second, that's exactly what the animal would do. Sarah hit the breaks, which certainly saved us of car repair costs and air bag burns. The guy beside us was not so lucky. He was too concerned with his cell phone conversation, which makes his accident bittersweet.

I never knew that deer could fly. Reindeer sure, but not your traditional Bambi. A rotating deer flew through the air, over the top of his car and to the other side of the road. Something hit our car as well but we're still not sure if it was a piece of totaled car or a piece of totaled deer. Regardless,...it was pretty insane, and certainly sad. 

We carried on to Bugaboo Creek but had forgotten about the creek's decor. I didn't take the time to count the deer heads on the wall but take my word there was a lot. That was the irony. Having witnessed a deer get killed on the highway and then eating at a restaurant that stares you down with murdered deer noggins. It's an interesting position to find yourself in. To be stared while comforting your cravings for meat. Thankfully we ordered the shrimp. 

As for the movie? Pixar is AMAZING. Disney would be screwed without them. Think about it....what was the last Disney hit that was actually Disney's? Exactly. All Disney has is sequels to their previous hits, which seriously makes me laugh.  (and not in a good way) For those of you who can remember back that far, or who have seen the original Disney classics...they all seemed to open like a story book and like all great fairy tales ended with the, and I quote...."They All Lived Happily Ever After." (flash forward to the present day) Welllllllll.....apparently their characters DIDN'T live happily ever after because they forgot about the time that Ariel got lost in space,......when Pinnochio traveled through time, and when Cruella De Vil fought for her lesbian rights. 

Regardless of money issues, Sarah and I opted for the slightly more expensive 3D rendition of the film. (SPOILER ALERT) The film is fun, but do not expect 3D to mean that things are going to be coming right up to your face. It's just enough to break the "wall" of the screen. NOT Watching it in 3D will be just fine. The 3D glasses, if you go to that version, are designed to look like the glasses worn by Carl Fredericksen, the old man that you've seen in the trailer. Everyone in the theater looks just like him, which is funny when you take into account that, SQUIRREL!!! 

Hi there.
