"People either love me or they hate me, or they don't really care."

2010 is coming to an end. Not blowing up, plagues destroying mankind, things falling into darkness kind of end, but just a new year. This year flew by. I feel like I've been saying that for the past 6 or 7 years. Maybe time is just slowly moving faster than it used to. Maybe not.

I'm watching Book of Eli while I write this, lying in a warm bed next to Kim (in deep sleep), listening to the rain outside. I love me some post apocalyptic stories. I'm really liking the score by Atticus Ross in this film. I also recently watched the third movie in the Planet of the Apes series. I've always loved the original Planet of the Apes, but I never got around to seeing any of the other ones in the series.I was always told they were bad. After watching number 2 and today number 3, I can see that for myself. With the expectations of them being down right horrible, these 2 sequels were actually pretty damn entertaining. I agree with what I was told in that they weren't great, but they were a lot of fun and presented some neat ideas. (For instance, in the second POTA film, there was a group of people who spoke telepathically that prayed to an altar which consisted of a gold nuclear warhead). Needless to say, I'm looking forward to watch the last 2 or 3 of the series.



The lunar eclipse was neat.

Kim and I made a ginger dead house yesterday. Using a common gingerbread house kit found at Trader Joe's and some gingerbread men cookies (along with strawberry jam, raisins, and other readily available items) we were able to a gingerbread house under attack from the ginger dead men.
