Holiday Update
D | Wednesday, August 24, 2005
Not too much to report from sunny Sandestin. The first day I was here I went to the beach for the majority of the day only to fry the hell out of my entire body and get stung by a jellyfish. So these last few days I've been taking it easy - WW, TNG on TNN (now Spike TV), pool time, reading, dinner out, Monday night football, and general relaxation. No complaints for me. I also went and saw Red Eye, Rachel McAdam's most recent project. Typically I don't like scary thriller Wes Craven type movies, but this one wasn't very scary and had a functional (if full of holes) plot. But who am I kidding, I went for Rachel. She was hot and kicked the Scarecrow's ass, so my $7 was well spent.

In completely unrelated news, I might be the only person who didn't already know this, but when the space shuttle lands in California or Texas as opposed to The Kennedy Space Center, they transport the shuttle back to Florida on the back of a 747. I don't know why, but when I saw video of this I was totally amazed. Why I thought they would just put it on the back of a truck (what kind of truck and on what kind of road I suppose only goes to prove how dumb this idea was) is beyond me, but that is what I thought. Anyway, check out some of these pictures from NASA. Stuff like this just blows my mind.

$7 for a movie ticket! Not fair! It's up to $11.75 now in some theaters here in NYC...
