TALKIN 'BOUT TAKINS
Hola Seniors and Senioritas!
I've been battling the PLAGUE COUGH OF DEATH for the past week and it's sapped a lot of my energy to write updates like this. For some reason, my broadband internet access seems to be done in the eveningtime so I haven't been able to post updates after watching programs such as Next Food Network Star or RAW lately, either. (Big Daddy & Mike Adamle, eh? Wrong Adam in my book.)
On Sunday, Alissa & I utilized some free passes from my wonderful boss to visit the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley, MN. It was awesome! My favorite animals were the BEARS (they were literally one foot from us with just a pane of glass between us and the swimming hulks), the TAKIN (if I invented a superhero, it would ride one of these) and the immense Tapirs. The Butterfly garden, active Red Panda and the Japanese Snow Monkeys were really nifty too. I was sad that the MOOSE was hiding from us. Seems incredible, but the creature pulled it off!
They also have an absolutely massive IMAX theatre there where we watched BATMAN: DARK KNIGHT. It was fantastic - a marked improvement over Batman Begins. I'm most impressed that the Nolans wrote the script along with directed it. It's a bit like Stars Wars: Episode 4, they could have started the story at this movie and we'd be just as hooked. The origin tale can be cumbersome. Best movie I've seen this year. It rocked.
