Welcome to Our World

The following is the text conversation that occured today between Josh and I.

J Text 1: What did you think of the movie we saw [transformers]?

Josh Text 1: So the problem with the movie last night was that mann isn't a good director. He does good action scenes, but that's it. The knock on him is that there's never
Josh Text 2: a plot. So for this movie, he went overboard and included every single possible plot line - there was the wierd parent relationship with the 5 minute crying room
Josh Text 3: scene, the development of the relationship with megan fox where he leaves to go to college but they're still together, there was the stuff with his roomate, the
Josh Text 4: girl stalking him straight out of terminator, the college experience of animal house, the fight in the forest, him being captured and rescued for like an hour,
Josh Text 5: them finding tuturo as the old S7 guy - using the same lines from the butler char in that adam sandler movie, the american pride war scenes with the desperate
Josh Text 6: for a pay check tyrese, the random fight just so they could include twin black robots who looked like monkeys and couldn't read, and some huge back story
Josh Text 7: that got away from the whole "robots in disguise" theme where the transformers were actually grown and apparently need sun energy even though the autobots never
Josh Text 8: did. It was a movie that tried to be everything with everyone. Like why did Dwight need to be in it? And tyrese was a waste. it was 3 hours, but do you really
Josh Text 9: remember anything beyond the shooting and mann's obsession with megan fox's butt? I mean, it had a kissing scene where the camera panned around
Josh Text 10: 360 degrees for a cool 30 seconds. There were so many plot holes and instances where we just were supposed to believe "it happened".
Josh Text 11: It was the movie equivalent of verbal diarrhea from a 13 year old boy.
Josh Text 12: All in all though, I didn't hate it, and I would watch it again someday.

After ALL that, Josh says "and I would watch it again someday." That guy slays me.

My Mother

If you know my mother, you know that she and the ER have a close relationship. She probably goes and visits him once a month or so in search of some antibiotics or such. Recently she came to the conclusion that it is much easier to pay the $50 ER fee and to immediately receive all the necessary testing she desires, than to wait to schedule an appointment with her doc, who then schedules another appointment for the tests.

Monday night, while celebrating Father's Day she promptly informed us she would be heading to the ER after dinner to get some tests. Of course, this annoucement didn't send us into shock or fear. In fact, it barely phased us.

The depths of her mind know no boundaries, nor does her level of determination when she sets her mind to something. So unconventional and oddly enough, so impressive.

A Tidbit about NK

Since reading the net news about our recent troubles with NK I have been thinking endlessly about the possibilities of an attack from those crazy asians. Do not fear though, my wonderful friend (friend indeed) Shin laid my fears to rest with this text:

"Even if NK could successfully launch it, we would shoot it down. Not to be at the top of J's list of things to worry about."

Ah, the importance of friends at bringing a crazy mind to ease.
