Today, my father, Beth, Ben, and I went to see Avatar today. In 3-D. At the IMAX. For those in the Atlanta area, seems there is a new IMAX screen at the AMC Barrett Commons 24 in Kennesaw. The screening we went to was sold out. We bought our tickets yesterday for today’s show.
It was a nice movie. It is one you have to see to understand. No words I can use to describe the experience of the art in the film. My family joked that they will never be able to see another movie in the standard way again. I enjoyed the night scenes on Pandora. Pure eye candy for me. I wanted to kill Giovanni Ribisi’s character, Parker Selfridge, with a bullet straight in the forehead. Everytime Colonel Miles Quaritch was on the screen without a mask, I kept waiting for 4 minutes to pass by. I could recognize CCH Pounder as Mo’at, but I couldn’t remember the actress’s name. Michelle Rodriguez was actually likable in the film. I never did care for her in other things I saw her in. Sam Worthington needs to lose the standard military hair cut. Just not flattering to him. They also did a good job of making him look like he lost use of his legs. My dad asked was he really crippled. I had to remind my dad that Terminator Salvation was shot after Avatar. Sigourney Weaver’s Avatar looked like her.
While not a life altering movie, I am speechless in describing it more without spoiling it.

Last night, Beth and Ben came up. As soon as my dad got home, we all went to the Lights of Life out at Life University. Knowing it’s Hanukkah, I decided to post a photo of a menorah in Christmas Lights. I promised Beth Stone Mountain and Christmas lights. Unfortunately, like the last few times they’ve been here, it wet and raining. It’s also cold, so Beth decided not to go to Stone Mountain.
Right now, we’re watching Up!

My site was transferred to a new server sometime today. Something went wonky with the DNS servers, and my site was unavailable. Thankfully, my server host was quick to fix it! 
Today, my father and I went to a movie. We saw Law Abiding Citizen. It was my idea to see a movie, but my father chose the flick we saw. I recognized most of the principal actors in it. I enjoyed it because it had me guessing and trying to figure out what would happen next. My dad liked it for similar reasons. I won’t spoil the whole movie, but there was one part where the whole theater gasped, my father included. Let’s just say we can never look at a cell phone the same again.
Other than that, I haven’t been doing much, except still working on the old photographs I brought home with me last weekend. I found my 5th birthday photos and only recognized one person in them. All the others I can’t remember at all. Right now, I guess connecting to my past is a way to remember who I am. It’s liberating in a way.
