So Friday night, I had a sort of triple date with my wife and couple of other couples. We met at Old Chicago for some beer & food and then went to a movie.
Unfortunately, that movie was:
Notice the lack of 'The's
By the way, Michelle Rodriguez dies about 5 minutes into the movie.
Anyway, a couple problems with me going to see this movie:
1 – I haven’t seen of the movies in the series that preceded it.
2 – I don’t like watching Vin Diesel “act”.
So, it took me a while to decipher whether events in the movie were new revelations or flashbacks to previous movies, and Vin Diesel’s lack of emotions did not help that one bit. I gathered the general plot had something to do with cars. Can’t remember what exactly, though. Maybe it was an expositional documentary about used car salesmen?
Well, I had fun anyway. Bad movies are often more fun that good ones.
Anyway, on Saturday, Meghan got up early and came back with breakfast, which is one of my all-time favorite things about the weekends. Thank you wifey!
After breakfast, we went out to the Vikings draft party. Meghan was volunteering in a booth as party of her sorority alumni group.
For those as unfamiliar with what the Vikings drafty party entails as I was, here’s basically what happens: They have a couple 30-foot TV screens showing ESPN and they sell beer while you wait approximately 5 hours for the Vikings turn in Round 1 of the draft to come up. They also have booths with various Vikings-related activities, and an extremely convoluted system for obtaining autographs from players. Or, and a sorority alumni group selling raffle tickets and trying to get you to sign up for Race For The Cure. Obvious, that’s the best part.
Again, I had fun. Although my afternoon beer conspired with my evening beer later than evening and tricked me into going to bed at 11. Meghan went out to hang out with some friends and I stayed in to watch Prom Night.
Yep, just as bad as Fast & Furious
So, on Sunday, since it was raining and cold, we pretty much spent the day watching TV. We ventured out in the afternoon to run some errands, but that was about it.
