My journey to the Dark Side is complete. I thought long and hard (at least 18 minutes) about which theater to choose. I had seen Episodes I and II at the Regal Oviedo Marketplace, but obvously that was not going to happen this time.

I didn't want to choose a place that would be riddled with unruly teens, and I wanted a good screen, so I chose the AMC in a nice area. I also chose the 6:15 over the 7:00pm, because I think that is plenty of time to sit in line and it will get us home that much faster. It is also convenient to the toll road so we can get home quickly after the MOVIE EVENT OF THE DECADE.

Tickets are avaiable at local box offices, and at AMC theaters through https://www.movietickets.com/. You can even get tickets for the midnight shows. I can't believe I have tickets 32 DAYS before the film is released.

Saw the movie "Alfie" with Jude Law, Susan Sarandon and Marisa Tomei. Not bad, really -- makes me want to see the original now -- I wonder how I missed that Michael Caine film.

Had General Tso's Chicken for dinner last night as leftovers -- WONDERFUL.

Red touches yellow...



My friends Kim and Tica were having fun looking at the pictures of the lizards that Joe and I got last weekend and we got to talking about snakes. Then we were trying to remember how you could tell the dangerous onesfrom the ones that don't kill you.

Below is a great link that distinguishes between the three similar species, the coral snake, the king snake, and the scarlet snake.

Joe and I went to the Florida reptile show, at which he purchased a blue-tongued skink and two black and white Colombian tegus. Got to go now -- 24 is almost on.  Posted by Hello

The story of our weekend.  You can see the Lego Star Wars video game in the background -- many lovely hours were spent unlocking its modular blockish, prequelistic secrets. You can also see a lizard.Posted by Hello
