Weekend Recap for 01/29/2011-01/30/2011

Aww, it's a cat. Upside down. Yeah, you know it's cute!

Howdy and good morning y'all! I hope you are all having a lovely sunny and cold Monday morning. As it is Monday, it must be time for another *drum roll* WEEKEND RECAP! Oh I get so excited about these recaps. Really I do. It's a fun time to reflect back on the yonder-years (well 2 days to be exact) and highlight all the fun adventures. So what did I do this weekend? Wouldn't you like to know? Oh fine, just look below....


ComicDrawer boxes. The wave of the future!

Saturday, January 29, 2010 So this weekend I ended up not visiting my fiancee. It was her dad's birthday (shout-out to Mr. Keller on his B-Day) and Shanna and her family went off and celebrated. I, however, was left in Rockaway to go to Temple and then just relax. I did make a trip up to Madison, NJ to visit my friend at Dewey's Comic City. If you're ever in the area, check it out. They have a great selection of new comics, toys, and trades. Most imporantly, they carry ComicDrawers, which are awesome comic boxes designed to make sorting and organizing much easier. Please take a look at the picture above.

 Afterwards, I came home to watch the shows I had recorded on the DVR as well as more of Oz Season 4 and finally Spider-Man 2.1. Can you believe I never saw the 8 minutes of additional footage in the second Spider-Man movie? I won't say that it greatly changed the movie for the better or worse, but it was enjoyable to see more of the movie. Looking back, I don't think these movies were as good as I thought, but that could be because I'm more into the comics now and view the character differently than how Mr. Tobey M. played him. Plus, is it just me or was Aunt May just too old and useless in that movie? I'm not knocking old(er) people, but I definitely prefer her in the comics and the Ultimate Marvel universe. I don't want to sound mean, but I wouldn't have minded if she went the way of Uncle Ben...if you know what I mean?!

Overall Score: ComicDrawer Box? Yes Please!

PARTAY!

Sunday, January 30, 2011 On Sunday, I went to my Aunt and Uncle's house for my cousin's 18th birthday party. I can't believe how grown up she got. She's actually going to be moving to Israel toward the end of this year. We did have a great brunch with some homemade pizza, as well as: vegetable soup, cheesecake, donuts, salad, and potato knishes and some other stuff. Afterwards, I came home, continued watching Oz Season 4, finished Spider-Man 2.1, and watched the Green Lantern: First Flight Animated Movie.

I must say, I am actually disappointed (I know, I know. I actually didn't LOVE a movie for once) in the movie. I feel that the plot was thin, moved way too fast, and there was barely any dialogue. Within the first 5 minutes, Hal Jordan got the ring and then it was off to space to just fight, fight, fight! Oh well, I got the movie for like $8, so I'm not going to complain.

Overall Score: Yay for B-Day brunch, but eh for the Green Lantern Movie. Let's hope the live action is better.

So that was my weekend. How about yours? What'd you do? Take a few minutes of your morning, make a post, and share your past weekend plans. But whatever you do, DO NOT WATCH the Green Lantern Animated Movie. *shudder*....can't get clean...
