"If I quieted the voices in my head I would face the day with nothing to write."

“The time to begin writing an article is when you have finished it to your satisfaction. By that time you begin to clearly and logically perceive what it is that you really want to say.” Mark Twain.

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”
― Roald Dahl

A fresh new look

Logged in today to blog and there is a fresh new look to the blogging page. I like it.

Yesterday I drove up to the mountains to hang with #61 and take his senior pictures. A tradition of sorts that I was reminded of recently by my sister-in-law. We took the old road to Ellensburg one of #61's favorite drives. In the backseat was the old school camera and a couple of changes of shirts for him. As his crabbiness wore off and he enjoyed the drive he started picking locations for his photos. He was crabby due to lack of sleep I found out as the day progressed. We stopped and took different photo's with some great backdrops and I'm excited to see how they turned out.

Killer Elite
After the photo session, we finished the drive into Ellensburg and stopped at Baskin & Robbins for ice-cream. Then headed over to the movie theater to watch Killer Elite. The movie was surprisingly pretty good...and the conversation leading up to this review is as follows.

"It would be cool if that guy you like so much would do a normal movie," #61 says while smirking as we walk across the parking lot to the theater.

"This could be the one," I reply glancing over at him "it's a different kind of cast and such with Robert Deniro and Clive Owens, a better caliber of actors than normal."

The movie ended up being based on a true story and yes Jason Statham had some serious action moments but he played a normal kind of guy for the most part. We liked it, it was the thinking man's action movie and I loved the bits about Australia.

Prior to the movie starting was an ad for Gear 3 and this prompted #61 to admit to why he was dragging ass and attitude. The new release of this game described as the "best ever, so fucking cool, awesome and addicting," looking sheepish as he admits this and confessing to playing it till seven in the morning after leaving the high school football game the night before.
