Not Much and a Music Video.

Not much has been going on since my last post. I think that's a good thing. This past weekend was a lazy weekend for Jam, Evan, and I. We hung out and kept it local. We got out Evan's train which he got for Christmas from Pap last year and ran it until the batteries ran out. He really loves his train. We also found him some Sesame Street figurines at the Christmas Tree Shop which just opened by us. They rode in his train and he has been taking them everywhere. They even went to the sitter with him. Evan and I went and visited Meme on Monday and Jam had off work on Tuesday so he had an exceptionally good week.

Other than the normal day to day, I finished a book I started last weekend, Star Trek The Next Generation: Resistance. The book was really good, better than I had expected it to be. It is one of the first to continue on from after the last movie. I highly recommend it to Star Trek fans. I finished it in a week and I usually milk reading books but I couldn't put it down. I have barely started the next book in the series, Q & A.

This weekend we are planning on keeping it local again because some relatives are coming up for a visit. I'm also going to go see The Dark Knight Saturday or Sunday night at the West Shore Theatre. I have not seen the movie yet and can't wait. Maybe I'll find some time before then to watch Batman Begins. I have not seen that one for a while.

It's been a little while since I have posted a music video so here is a good one. This is the video for the song Decode by Paramore. It's on the Twilight movie soundtrack. Twilight is based on the book of the same name, a love story about a teenage girl and a vampire. I have not read the book but would like to and wouldn't mind seeing the movie sometime. The book series is supposedly almost on a popularity par with Harry Potter. I'm sure the movie will do very well when it comes out later this month. This kind of thing is actually right up my alley. Vampires fascinate me and I really like movies like Lost Boys, From Dusk Til Dawn, Blade, and Underworld and novels which feature vampires by authors like Kim Harrison, Mario Acevedo, and Michael Romkey to name a few. Anyway, I thought this was a pretty good song when I heard it on the radio for the first time the other day. I bought both of Paramore's cds this past year and they are both good. My musical taste varies greatly but I do tend to like bands with female singers. Garbage, Veruca Salt, Letters To Cleo, Eve's Plum, Red Five, The Breeders, Save Ferris, Elastica, Evanescence, Flyleaf, and Rilo Kiley are some of my favorites in a list of many. Enjoy the video!
