Some shows and TV is just perfect for cross stitching like “Real Time with Bill Maher” I liked the discussion on the situation in Egypt.

Bear came over today and we watched the last few episodes of “Community.” I like rewatching them and it is fun to watch them together.

When Mama was dropping me off at Local College on the way to work last week, she noticed an ice skating ring on the way. I looked it up on the internet and saw that it was open on Fridays and weekends. So today my family and Bear all went to check it out. Papa had to pretty much wait in the car since he can’t skate and you needed to pay for entrance even if you don’t skate, which is silly. But we had a good time. It was not the best ice. They don’t clean it that much and rented skates are not the sharpest but I got a hang of it and could go all right. I roller blade a lot in the summer so I did need to adjust a tiny bit to ice skating but it is similar enough. It actually got warm since it is a covered rink. And it is close enough to the house that I might go again sometimes.

Bear and I watched “Dragonheart” in the evening; the DVD has been sitting on my desk for three weeks. This movie has sentimental value to me since this was the first movie I saw in an American movie theater. (Tom and Jerry cartoon a summer camp took up too does not count!) Papa took me for my 16th birthday. Of course, it has been so long since I seen it that all I remembered was Sean Connery was the dragon and they were conning the villagers. I really couldn’t remember much more, so it was like a brand new movie. Once I started watching I did sort of remembered how it would end. It was fun to see both Lupin and Lucius Malfoy in it. And the dragon CGI still holds up great – I know this was very innovative at the time. I kept thinking I knew the music – I’m sure it was reused many times.
