Ice Age 2

We went to see this last night -- it's been out a while here, but we haven't seen a movie in the theaters since Wallace & Gromit came out!!

Anyhow, we thought it was a decent movie -- didn't have that slam of anger/guilt/regret that we'd paid $6.50 each to see the movie on big screen when we could have waited to see it for 50c or on dvd.

We liked the funny parts -- the things that kids just wouldn't get... but what we didn't like was how much violence was in this movie. I was really surprised. It was downright scary at some points (lots of Jaws references) and I would have been scared out of my wits if I'd been a kid!

Apart from that and the horrendous scene where the vultures sing... which once I stopped groaning I think I might have snickered a time or two.

I hope I haven't given too much away.

After the movie we went to Cache-n-Coffee (Andy and his geocaching -- the Central Ohio Geocachers Association meets once a month at Cup-O-Joes in the Easton mall) and although I don't enjoy caching, I can still make conversation with these folks -- long as they don't talk about caching so much that my eyes begin to roll back into my head!

After that we headed over to Smokey Bones BBQ and Grill and had a meal there. I am coming down with a cold, so I didn't order anything fantastically different -- just some chicken strips -- because I knew I wouldn't be able to taste much anyhow. Plus my stomach was feeling a bit acidy, and that plus BBQ sauce doesn't equate for a good nights sleep. (Not that I have been getting those either!! oy vey)

So the moral of this blog entry is ... don't get old. It's not very fun.
