Comic Gold? Maybe.

I met someone, online of course.  And this is the most interesting meeting I have had in some time.  This is out of the ordinary, even for me.  It’s all so new, that I barely know what to think.  I am hopeful.  We might be going to hang out at the beach in the end of the month, fingers crossed.  Couple of things about her, she’s intelligent, pretty, within 5 months of my age, fun to talk to, and she likes leopard patterns.  So for this:

I think I may be seeing all three.  So far, so good.

Alice in Wonderland in 3D

Alice in Wonderland in 3D Movie Poster

I saw the midnight showing with some friends, and it was an enjoyable movie.  Very little of the 3D felt forced, as in them throwing the 3D right at you, besides that it felt well done and appropriate.  The Mad Hatter came off a little strong and at times, made me realize it was Johnny Depp, and for a few cases, reminded me of Jack Sparrow.  All in all a great story, well done visuals, and believable.
My Rating: ★★½

Snuggie Bar Crawl

February 28th, 2010

I went, I got Rory to go with me, I talked too much bout my iPhone.  I took 3 pictures though and got a chance to show Rory some older dining establishments in Delaware, the Dog House in New Castle and Charcoal Pit in Wilmington.  Although I brought my camera, I took zero pictures with it, although did get some with my phone.  The first is at Kelly’s Logan House, and I was showing an app that I found funny, the other two are at Charcoal Pit.

Best App Review Ever
