3D Movies are a Rip-Off

Posted on | August 9, 2009 | No Comments

Went to see my second 3D movie this year, and both times I’ve been highly disappointed in them. They have maybe a few minutes of true feeling of 3D at the beginning of the movies, but as the movie plays, it loses that sense of being 3D and seems just like a normal 2D movie that you have to wear glasses in order to view.

The other disappoint is the $3 charge for the glasses. I’ve already bought a pair once, why should I have to pay for them again? And then the movie theatres have the nerve to ask you to ‘recycle’ them. All that means i you spray them down with a disinfectant and repackage them?! Making yet more money for the makers of Real 3D.

Seriously, 3D my you know what. Never again will I pay to see a 3D movie. Not unless it comes to the point where I can bring my own glasses, thank you very much.

Beyond that, I enjoyed seeing G-Force with my sister and her daughter. The movie was cute and I did laugh, but it wasn’t $10 worth of enjoyment.

Is it insomnia? Running on fumes

Five consecutive days (and who knows, maybe I’m so tired now that I’m forgetting that it’s more) I have woken in the late night hours sometime between 1am and 3am and staying awake for the rest of the night and getting up with the pre-dawn. I don’t have a clue as to what is behind the early morning wake-up, but I do know it’s getting me down both physically and emotionally.

I just hope my body isn’t learning a new ‘pattern’ because that would seriously stink.

Last night I went to bed at 9pm and woke up at 3am, and drifted in and out of sleep repeatedly for the rest of the morning. I find that I can go back to sleep for another 2 hours around 5:30—which is typically at the point that I just get up on a work day, instead of laying in bed another half hour when my alarm clock is scheduled to go off. I can’t do that during the work week, as much I would love to do so.

Is it stress? Is it the new medication I’ve been taking for a month? I’m hoping it doesn’t continue.

Not That Good…. Not That Bad

Last night of the Not That Good II Summer league, and we’re fighting for 5th position. We’re playing against a team we’ve bowled against twice before and they are a great team.  I’ve already decided to continue on with the same league but for the fall — 24 weeks of non-stop goodness. I can only hope that I continue to improve in my technique and become more consistant.

The subject line also pertains to my state of being. I’m not that good and not that bad. My glasses are finally settling in after going back to LensCrafters 6 times in as many days.

I just want to get rid of these headaches! That’s my goal for the next few weeks.

What should have been less awkward became more so, now that Gabriel was aware of her presence. He was always watching her, even when he had other visitors in the room. It was as if he wanted to see what her opinion was, or if she had something to say in regards to what the current conversation was about.
