All Along The Watchtower
Title courtesy of... take your pick. Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Dave Matthews Band... hell, even Pearl Jam covered it last time I saw them. Awesome song indeed.
I chose the title because I went to see Watchmen over the weekend in IMAX, which was pretty awesome. I'd only seen one other movie in IMAX before, and ironically enough if was the director of Watchmen's other well known movie, 300. But that one I saw in the city, and it felt like the IMAX screen was even bigger than the one I saw Watchmen at. Know, I'd read the book/graphic novel beforehand, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, although the ending kind of confused me a little bit. See the movie and you'll know what I'm talking about. The ending is a little bit changed in the movie, but the outcome is the same. I started reading the book on my honeymoon, so maybe I wasn't paying the closest attention to it, so I started reading it again after seeing the movie. I'm hoping to pick up on a lot more the second time around, and so far so good. Anyway, I definitely recommend the movie, if you're in the market for something a little different, and with superheroes!
Work has been pretty busy lately. I've been at a long term engagement for the past two and a half weeks, and I'll continue being there for the foreseeable future. At least until the end of the month, maybe longer. But so far so good, so I'm not complaining. At least it gets me out of the office and keeps me busy. All good things. I will be taking a break from this customer to go to Boston for all of one day on Sunday and into Monday, then the following week I'll be flying to Arizona on Sunday and coming home late Tuesday. Should be fun. I've never been there, so I'm curious to see what its like. And its always nice to get away for short bursts of time every so often. I have a feeling that it's going to be a lot warmer there than it was in Green Bay!
In house news we just signed a deal and put down a deposit for our central air conditioning system to be installed. Yay! The thought of going through summer without it was not very comforting. So now, we'll be in perfectly cool comfort all summer long! Also take into account our new heating system, and its a little bit crazy where we've plunked down a huge chunk of change into our home, HVAC. It's kind of funny. We show friends and family the house for the first time and we take them to the basement to show them our furnace, since that's probably the most expensive thing we've bought since we got the house! Now we can show them the A/C compressor outside, because that'll be even more expensive! Fun! But, its all needed. At least if you ask me.
Anyway, that is all for now. Keep it real people!
