Tried to Take Robert to the Courthouse
Getting the New Garage Door
Hellboy 2 with Gary
Ran today; I guess I did run on Sunday. I was planning to take Robert to the county courthouse so he could pay his fine for not sending his $90 in on time for his seatbelt ticket, but he couldn't find his wallet so that was out. Apparently he waited until the last minute to send the fine in and they never got it and so he just got a $300 fine on top of the $99. When will he start to learn? I pray it all clicks in sometime.
The garage door guy came at about 1 and he was done by 2:30 or so. the opener works and Christine is very happy.
I went down to school and found out the Vera had broken her arm playing golf and was going to have surgery and would be out the rest of the week.
I met Gary at UA on Eureka for the 4:15 showing of Hellboy 2. Whoa was it dumb.
New York Times Mini Review–There are moments in “Hellboy 2: The Golden Army,” Guillermo del Toro’s profligate sequel to “Hellboy,” capable of delighting even the most jaded, comic-book-weary summer-blockbuster conscript. (That would be me.) There's nothing quite like the scene in which Ron Perlman’s Hellboy, a baby in one hand and an oversize gun in the other, mixes it up with a giant, angry plant. The story of "Hellboy 2" is a happy hodgepodge of bantering humor and portentous metaphysics, packing a remarkable range of moods and genre elements into a fairly compact 110 minutes. The love between Hellboy and the downcast, combustible Liz Sherman (Selma Blair) gives this film, like its precursor, an undercurrent of hard-boiled, noirish romanticism. There are also Tolkienish elves (as Mr. del Toro limbers up for “The Hobbit”), officious bureaucrats and a showstopping Barry Manilow song washed down with many cans of Tecate beer. The whole affair is pulpy, jokey, sometimes touching and frequently nonsensical: a big mess and, mostly, a lot of fun. — A. O. Scott, The New York Times
Gary and I then had dinner at Ruby Tuesdays, kind of a glorified Appleby's.
Since I got home, I have been packing and when Robert came home he hung out with us watching America's got talent.
