All the news that’s fit to blog:

* This morning, on the drive in to work, ***Simon|http://www.pedalpoint.com/simon/home/main.php*** and I watched as ***my car|http://gallery.prwdot.org/my_car*** rolled over to 190,000 miles. The last big rollover was 180,000 miles last July, so that means 10,000 miles in 9 months, for about 1,100 miles per month. We’re on track to roll over to 200,000 miles by January… sooner if we take any long driving trips this year! 🙂

* We watched ***Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind|http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0338013/*** on Friday. Not only was ***Jim Carrey|http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0000120/*** tolerable as the leading man, he was downright stupendous! The movie had a similar pace to ***Lost in Translation|http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0335266/*** and ***Russian Ark|http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0318034/***, both of which are also excellent and highly recommended.

* The $10 worth of munch money we had for use at the theater concession got us one regular size popcorn and one regular size drink, total of $7.75. You can’t get any change back from the gift certificates, and nothing else on the menu was less than $3, so it was a total rip-off. At least we didn’t spend any of our own money on it. ***Chunky’s|http://www.chunkys.com/*** is a much better deal all-around, but it’s just a little too far away, and the movie selection is fairly limited.

* This weekend whilst hanging out with the Lowes, we watched ***Radio|http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0316465/*** and ***Open Range|http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0316356/*** on video. Radio was a nice inspirational movie, while Open Range was a very slow western. We finished watching Radio, while we couldn’t bear to stay for most of Open Range. Supposedly there was a very good gunfight near the end, but we didn’t really give it a chance.

* The sunrise service at ***Cathedral of the Pines|http://www.cathedralpines.com/*** was good. Getting up at 4:45 a.m. was a bit of a drag, but the service was worth it. The singing was rousing and the scenery was spectacular. The clearing behind the altar afforded an excellent view of Mount Monadnock.

* Sunday afternoon Easter dinner at The 1761 Old Mill in Westminster was good. All you care to eat buffet. I stayed with the breakfasty-type foods… eggs, bacon, sausage, french toast, home fries. Yum.

* I got to take a few nice photos this weekend… ***check them out|http://gallery.prwdot.org/easter_2004***.
