My Little CrockPot of News and Thoughts

The greatest picture of today: "What?" ... Yesterday was a good day. Amanda and I spent the better part of the afternoon out and about Austin. We hit the mall, which was crowded and also went to a few other stores in the vicinity, which were also crowded. That evening, we came back home. I worked on a few projects while Amanda made the most incredible enchiladas I've ever had. They were a dream wrapped in a flour totilla and covered in sour cream sauce. After that we watched Kevin Costner's latest film, Open Range. I'm a huge fan of Robert Duvall and a fan of the western in general, but somehow I missed this one when it was out in theaters. Although it's no Lonesome Dove, which was and still is the greatest book I've ever read as well as a superb film, Open Range was very enjoyable. The cinematography was jaw droppingly beautiful. The locations and sets were outstanding. The story and acting was pretty good too. If you find yourself with a couple of free hours one day and with the hankerin' for a little free grazin' violence, check out this movie. ... Today I'm trying to watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas... it's actually on as I write this entry. I'm having a hard time getting into this one... I dunno, maybe it's just me. ... Lili and Eddie, owners of the mighty fine Fwak Blog, have mentioned yours truly. That was nice of them. Needlessly to say, when I read their most recent entry, I was excited. ... I really hate Daylight Savings Time, but then doesn't everyone?
