a few things...

I missed the window to send my Grandma a card for her 85th birthday...although I do have a decent excuse for the distraction. I still feel like a worm. Talking to my dad, she seems to be doing better, and doing more things by herself then she used to do. So maybe she is turning a corner....lets hope.

Spiderman 3 wasn't near as good as 1 or 2, but still ok. Seeing it in IMAX was...well..obnoxious. I'm not sure it would've been better on a flat IMAX screen, instead of the dome, but it did lead to some oddness as far as it goes with curved straight lines and having to look over to see some things. I also felt that in some of the fast action sequences it was hard to follow...What we saw of the ScIowa was pretty cool and we still need to get down there to play (read this as a chance for nieces/nephews/Matta kids to come down and go there).

We went to Ban Thai over in the East Village before the movie. Much goodness. Though their hot wasn't very hot for me...I'll try their very hot next time. I had green curry and Shannon had some fried rice. Very good. Crab Rangoon was very good to...seemed hand made and lightly fried. Beautiful presentation.

We also wandered over to Gray's Lake to see the flooding...It was fairly high, covering parts of the trail around Gray's Lake.

Sunday I was extra super lazy. I played several games of Supreme Commander, while half ass watching some movies. Some of them were testing devices (seeing if they were worth the time to build), others were testing speed of building up a force (one time taking down a supreme AI in just over an hour).
