We're gonna talk about Beaches and Shows

The G and I hit our one-year anniversary on Sunday. Sometimes it seems like we just got marries yesterday and sometime it seems like we've been married for a long time. Since I proposed at Long Beach, we went there for a night: we left Sunday morning and came back Monday late afternoon. It was awesome! We both have been so busy lately it was really nice to get out of town and just spend time together. We got a nice room and played on the beach, ate a ton of seafood, killed time at the shops and arcades, played on the beach some more....that was about it. The weather was NOT Northwest beach weather! It was it sunny, warm, and only a little windy. On Sunday night we watched the meteor shower and were able to see some because of the lack of clouds. We spent probably about 3 hours total just sitting or walking on the beach. We had a freakin' blast, and ordered two-scoop waffle cones that had about eight servings of ice cream on each cone (eating them was epic!). We really wanted to ride to go-karts, but didn't think it was a good idea.





On Sunday night we watched "The Number 23" with Jim Carey. I was bummed that I missed this one in the theaters, and we got it on NetFlix last week so we took it with us. I love Jim Carey movies where he's not Jim Carey, you know? I think "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind" is one of my favorite movies right now, and even "The Truman Show" was great. The Ace Ventura-and-such movies are funny, but he's a really great actor when he's not being totally dorky. "23" will make your feet cold because it will rock your socks off!! I was a little bummed about the end (I won't spoil it, but after you see it ask me how I think an extra scene of about two minutes would have make the ending way better) but overall it was a sweet movie. Jim was fantastic, and he plays a really convincing crazy person. One of the cool options was that on the DVD we got you could choose the regular theater version or the unrated one. There are a couple of really creepy scenes in the unrated version. Everything about this movie was fun: the camera work, the directing, all the actors, and the story were really well done. If you like kinda dark suspense, get this one. Get it now. I'll wait.
