School, Movies, and Me

Well, school starts today. I have an art, an English, and a speech class; no school on Fridays, though. I am happy that my art class teacher is the same as my summer class, so I know that class will be fun.

I turned 27 on the 10th! I got a lot of good stuff; I got a few movies, books, a gift card and money for school. Sarah got me a gift certificate to Shutterfly so that I could print out some of my pictures. I ate tons of food, including pounds of bean dip that Becky made. Sarah made Boston Cream Pie, which is my favorite cake, and it was delicious.

So, Sarah and I have been watching more older, "classic" movies--some have been pretty good, and others not so much. So these are the movies we have seen since the last blog post:

1) Vertigo- Worth seeing, but it is about 30 mins too long. You could literally cut out the last 30 mins.
2) Little Big Man- If its on TV, it's worth watching. Dustin Hoffman is pretty funny in this movie.
3) The Lady Vanishes- Another Hitchcock movie, fun to watch once.

4) Chinatown- Awesome movie! Jack Nicholson is great, and the story is too; I might buy his.

We also opened up a safe deposit box yesterday; I highly recommend that anyone who doesn't have a safe at home should get one. We put our marriage certificate, S.S. cards, birth certificates, insurance papers, and some misc. jewelry inside. Now we don't have to worry about someone stealing this stuff or losing it to a fire.

Not much else is going on with us. Sarah is still at Northwest Exteriors, because she loves what how good they treat her there and her co-workers. I am still at Cup-A-Joe and am very happy that it is flexible for my school schedule.

Birthdays, Movies and Ice Cream

So, Grandma Campbell turned 93 two weeks ago, and she still looks the same as when I was younger. She told us a joke, as she usually does, and we just had food and talked. Not much to say about it, other than we are lucky to have a Grandma like her and thankful that she is still around.

Last weekend, Becky, John, Sarah, and I went to the Sacramento Zoo Ice Cream Safari! If you don't know what it is, you walk around the zoo to different "stations" that have free ice-cream; tons of flavors and tons of stations. It isn't as cool as when I was a kid, because they don't do fun names with the ice cream, such as "funky chunky monkey." I am proud to say that I ate more than anyone else. It was a lot of fun, and the snow leopards were very cute.

Sarah and I have been renting "classic" movies that we have never seen. We are going to try and see all of the TOP movies; so far we rented Citizen Kane and North By Northwest. Citizen Kane sucked. The story is boring, music is lame, and you don't care about the characters. The only reason to watch it today is so you can say that you have. North By Northwest, however, was a good movie. For those who don't know, this is the movie that has Cary Grant running away from the biplane that's trying to kill him. This movie actually keeps you interested in what's going on, and the music sounds like John Williams'; this one is worth watching.

Only 23 days until I start school again. Weeeeeeeee!
