Weekend

We did a lot of things this last weekend. But before that an update on Powerball. We didn't win. Well actually we did but only three dollars and since we spent more I don't think that counts as winning. We also accidentally bought tickets for last Saturday’s drawing, which we also didn't win. We did have to lines that matched two numbers though. One more number and we would have had seven dollars.

Last Saturday morning we spent two hours finishing off last scene of Matt's film. The shooting was pretty easy. It also sounded like the film is now ten to twelve minutes long. So it's more around the length that it was originally suppose to be. Eventually Matt is going to produce a DVD will all of his shorts on it. I can't wait. However, it sounds like it will be three or four months yet.

Later that day we went to the elementary school and ball fields near our new house. There are three baseball fields and four soccer fields in the park.

On Sunday we went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. It was the best action movie I've seen so far this year, overall very entertaining. It kept me interested throughout the whole movie with no down time. The special effects were spectacular and they didn't draw attention to themselves. All of the effect helped the story and weren’t gratuitous.

After the movie we went to an open house down the block from our new house. The house was bigger but needed a lot more work. It was overpriced for the condition it was in. After looking at the house we went for a walk on some of the trails in the neighborhood and met a few of our neighbors.
