Turkey Rox

Yay for the longest weekend! I had a fantabulous time and did absolutely NO work at all (which is actually kinda scary and will necessitate an all-nighter at some point). But it was absolutely worth the break....I could tell by cleaning out my pockets.
I found:
1. My Hollywood Video gift card - which used to have 25$ on it, but now only has 20$. Matty n' I rented The American Haunting and my high-maintenance man needed water to go with his movie. The movie ended up being not as scary as one would have hoped and in the end had a certain creepiness that I expressly hoped would not be a feature of the film. (I don't want to give it away so I will change the content...I said to Matty "Aw geez, I hope this movie doesn't have cacti. I hate cacti, it skeeves me out so much.")
2. A Blockbuster video card that I had to apply for so Matty n' I could rent a movie to kill the four hours we had between stuffing the turkey and the turkey being ready to eat. We got The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, which I enjoyed. Twas a modern day western thingy. And a guy I went to high school with was working the register at the video store...which felt kinda weird.
3. Three paper targets with holes on them! And I made those holes! Friday was the first time that I have discharged a firearm...ever. My parents were all hippy-ish and whatnot. They didn't even let my sister keep the plastic gun that came with her cowgirl Halloween costume. That aside! Twas fun. They were shotguns that sent a load of buckshot out toward the targets (very far away targets I might add!) It appears that hunting is quite the crap-shoot, as buckshot goes anywhere and everywhere. The shotgun was heavy and made a lovely loud noise. There was a bit of kick but it wasn't bad at all. I was a little sad that I didn't win anything. The prizes were as redneck as the game! I coulda got me a slab of bacon, a rack of ribs, or a side of beef. Actually, Matty's cousin Will won the side of beef so big ups to Will! Apparently I wasn't a horrible shot either, so y'all better watch out. ;-)
4. A ticket stub for Casino Royale. I liked it! The blonde Bond was worth it. He is all pre-suave and whatnot. I liked the card playing. I liked all the bouncing around that they did as well. Lots o' action. Plus Matty n' I snuck in the best Ben & Jerry's I've ever had - Chocolate Therapy. Mmmm.
5. A second ticket stub, but this one for today's professional sporting event. I saw the Redskins play the Black Panthers. I found it sad that the Native Americans and the African Americans have to fight for the white man's amusement. But it was really a good game! The Redskins won and I did not think they would. Maybe more importantly, I had a pretzel with mustard! Oh! And there was tailgating! I had never done that before either. Super fun!
