Mark and I went to the post office and mailed out Mark's 2007 tax stuff. Then we signed a petition to force our mayor to put the option of a new court house before voters (instead of just spending a disturbing amount of money on it without our consent). Then we went to Meijer to pick up some prilosec that they didn't have ready for me last time, plus Mark got some boost and I got some poptarts. Then we we ordered pizza and went to Hollywood Video where I gave Mike the 2nd & 3rd seasons of Battlestar Galactica, while Mark & I rented some movies. We watched AVP:R while we ate, and I again loathed the movie - and I find it incomprehensible that DJ & Bryan both enjoyed it, with Bryan saying it was better than the first one. Ick. It's just a poorly lit, poorly scored, poorly written film, with poorly thought out "homages" which are just complete rip-offs of the other films. The only positive thing I can say about it, is that many of the deaths were not cliche. Beyond that it was a steaming pile of shit. At least the pizza was good...and I relieved that Mark agreed with me about the movie.

How I would rate the AVP series, on a scale of * to *****, in chronological order:

Predator (1987) ***
Predator 2 (1997) **
Alien vs. Predator (2004) ****
Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2004) *
Alien (far future) *****
Aliens (57 years later) *****
Alien 3 (short time later) *****
Alien: Resurrection (200 years later) ****

Mark's working on some new billing stuff, and I'm writing this blog, obviously. Mark will soon be helping me try to figure out how to get this Doctor Who stuff off my computer and how to send it to Mollie, and I hope to get more reading done, though I'm already starting to get tired. I have Wednesday & Thursday off. I have movies to watch. I have the date with DJ, Michael & Amanda Thursday night.

I'm gonna check for more Doctor Who Extras now. :-0)
