The plan for today was to go see a movie at the Suncoast and then possibly pop across the road to the Regent\/JW Marriot to introduce Josh and Anna to the Irish Pub there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We modified the plan slightly. After seeing the film “Signs” and then foraging at Trader Joe’s, we went straight home and I cooked a pasta sauce using some of the grilled chicken breasts from last night, on penne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Signs” was good. I think we all enjoyed it a lot, although being the product of M.Night Shyamalan’s active imagination, we weren’t sure what to expect. It’s not quite a science fiction story, although things happen in the film that you would normally associate with that genre. It’s more a story about how an ex-Episcopalian priest (who has lost his faith through personal tragedy) and his family react and deal with extraordinary world events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What makes the film really good is great casting, wonderful acting, and a fantastic soundtrack – I’m not just talking about the music, I mean the sound effects, everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had fun cooking, then after dinner we watched a Rugby game we’d taped earlier – NZ vs. Australia for the Bledisloe Cup, part of the Tri-nations tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People who know me will know that I am not a sport afficionado, and do not normally seek out Sport on TV. But maybe because Josh was here, or maybe I was just feeling nostalgic, whatever – I really enjoyed the game. It was really exciting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It helps to find the page in the TV guide where they list dates and times by game type. I can look up “Rugby” in the list and see exactly when a game is on, then tape it. Josh says he’ll watch any rugby game I can tape, so I’ll probably try taping the rest of the tri-nations stuff and send them to him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
