Spring Break is Broken
Tomorrow is the last day of Spring Break. I had plans to party, go camping, party some more and visit some friends, none of which happened.
Each Wednesday for the last six weeks or so a group of friends from work have been going out to have a good time at a local bar that has free food and cheap drinks from 5-7pm on Wednesdays. We hang out and cut up and generally make idiots of ourselves. One of us (not me) won a CD two weeks in a row for having the "biggest boobs" in the place. This week being Spring Break and most of our group not having to work today were going to stay out later and possibly end up pouring ourselves into cabs. Earlier this week some of us were going to go camping. I was also hoping to make a drive to see some good friends that I'm hoping are still good friends.
Why did none of this happen you ask? Well, where to begin? The one with all the camping gear had some personal stuff going on and was in no shape to camp or party. One couldn't make it because her youngest son (SO cute!!!) broke his arm. One had to work Wednesday at the last minute. And as for driving out to see my buds - I haven't heard back and never seem to call at the right time. So rather than taking Karen with me last night as planned (this would have been her first time meeting some of the group and first time going out with any of them) we took in dinner and a movie. No spoilers below - just my thoughts.
We saw Failure to Launch and it was VERY funny. Some stuff seemed a little over the top and didn't seem to fit the tone of the movie but over all I loved it. Terry Bradshaw is so cute in this movie and did really well but.... well, I'll let you be surprised - let me just say this: I think my Mom is going to LOVE this movie!
Then we saw Final Destination 3 which was okay as a stand alone but I don't think it lived up to the first two. I won't give away any plot or anything here but the death scenes in the first two were specific and detailed - you saw what exactly was happening. In this one it was more a sudden flash of something - often you couldn't really be sure of what you saw - and much more blood and guts. It's as if rather than making it more intricate they simplified it and just added more blood hoping no one would notice. A pretty good hack and slash flick but a disappointment when compared which FD1&2.
