My Dates with the Silver Screen

For what feels like an eternity, Sarni and I have been living under a self-imposed ban on seeing any movies in any New York theater.  If you guessed that I was the one who enforced the ban, then you're right.  Ever since I heard about bed bugs in the Times Square theater - I mean, come on, people.  That's disgusting, right?

We braved our 6-legged nemeses this past weekend and lifted the ban in a big way - we watched Megamind in 3D (above) and Harry Potter 7 (with Pre-Raph and our other friends).  If only you could see how excited I was about Megamind, but at least the blue blot-out makes me look a little like Mr. Megamind himself.  HP7, of course, is mandatory for any self-respecting Potterhead.

The Unshakeable Addiction

Snapped this photo while I was waiting in line at Trader Joe's.  That right there is my own personal substance abuse problem.  Consider yourself warned - those corn puffs are like little bits of a ridiculously addictive heaven.  Hey Cuddles, remember when you recommended them to me?  Yeah, thanks for that.

Apologies for the blurriness - the line was starting to move.  Also I think I was starting to get the Corn Puff Shakes.

Costa Rican Adrenaline Rush

I've tried and tried, but I can't find a legitimate connection between New York and our recent trip to Costa Rica.  However, I still wanted to give you guys a few token photos from our trip.  (Apologies to anyone who has seen these already).

White-water rafting on Rio Toro near La Fortuna.  Don't worry, we're in there somewhere.
