Crash Into Me

Bachelorhood (or lack thereof)

Well, the wife was gone this past weekend, surprising her family in Funroe. I sure would have loved to be there, but work constraints were calling. Anyway, it gave me a chance to ponder what my life used to be like without her there. And I found it was really hard to do so. Do any of you married guys out there find that? It was weird, I remember a lot of things about my life without Lacey, but I don't remember that well what life was like without Lacey...only that it sucked compared to this:) I swear, it's such a cliche, but being married is the best thing that's ever happened to me. And yeah, we don't have kids yet, nor have we been married that long (10 months and two days), but it's incredible. I don't know how I survived life without her. She makes me a better man, and that is the best compliment I can give her. Ok, I didn't mean for this to be a sappy post. Sorry.

This weekend alone also gave me a chance to get some movie-watching and video-game-playing done. I have just started to get into games like Age of Empires and Empire Earth. How addicting are those? Anyway, I got to watch Flight of the Phoenix (pretty good), the Final Four (I love college basketball, so I had to put it in here), and The Final Cut with Robin Williams. That one I loved. I mean, it wasn't the best movie ever or anything, but it was just so stinking interesting. It revolves around people called cutters, who take futuristic implants from dead people that have been in their brains since the womb and recorded everything. The cutters then splice together the good footage for a "movie" about the person's life called a rememory. Of course, the cutter sees everything, good and bad, and there's where the tension lies. It is wild, and very, very good.
Lastly, Lacey and I watched Sideways last night. I thought it was excellent. The acting was fantastic, and the way the script used different wines as analogies for the characters was lovely. There is some adult content that kind of comes out of nowhere (mostly male nudity), but aside from that, I thought it was an extremely well done movie.
