Saturday a Fun Day

Mike and Cassondra came up to visit us on Saturday, and mass amounts of duck, pig, and "tomatoes and dumplings" were consumed. Veronica really enjoyed spending time with her Nenong and Nenang (we'll be posting pictures shortly to Veronica's Blog).

As a part of the lovely day, we watched "Sky Craptain and the World of Tommorrow", which, as I'm sure you've heard, was one of the biggest box office disappointments of 2004. If I had been watching it alone, I certainly would have stopped doing so quite early. As it was, seeing it with friends and family, it was quite fun. Jude Law and Gynneth Paltrow had all the chemistry of oil and water, and Carrot Top would have only been a slightly worse pick for the role of "Sky Captain". All that said, the CGI effects/CGI sets were incredible (albeit unnecessarily "noir"), and I'm thinking that a lot more sci-fi flicks are going to be using this technololgy.
