I had the best weekend since Tom managed to get both Saturday and Sunday off. Usually he gets two days off during the week when I have classes and can’t stay over his house. So on the weekends, we have to get up early for him to get to work. We spent both Saturday and Sunday morning laying in bed watching the first season of Rome. We watched a few episodes when it first aired, but kind of forget about. Thanks to Netflix though, we got the first season and got to watch it in its entirety. That show is really good. Now all we need to do is get the second season and watch it. I wish I knew a bit more about Roman history to see how much of the show is accurate and how much is exaggerated.
Saturday evening we drove up to Cleveland (about an hour away) to see Beowulf in 3D. I’m really glad we did that instead of just seeing the normal version of it, because it was amazing in 3D. It’s cool because it’s all animated, but the people actually look like themselves to a degree. Especially Angelina Jolie’s character (Grendal’s mom). Tom thought there would be a lot more action and fight scenes then there were, but I didn’t get that feeling when I was watching it.
Tonight we went to Target to browse around and when we were looking at video games there was this woman and a salesperson talking. The woman looked a little bit upset, and the guy was telling her that they didn’t have anymore Brain Age games after he checked his handheld scanner thing. Even though just 2 minutes earlier we saw them in a different part of the store. So we told the lady we just saw them and showed her where they were. She was super nice and seemed really thankful that we found it. Then there was another woman looking for the new Pirates movie in Blu-Ray format and they told her they didn’t think they released it in that. Low and behold as we were walking around, we found it in Blu-Ray. The woman was already gone or we would’ve helped her too.
The lady that we helped with the video game came up to us when we were checking out and asked us our names. She said that she told the manager we were helping her and how nice we were. She said god bless us and happy holidays before walking away. Little things like that in life, seeing how happy she was over something so simple, restore a little bit of my lost faith in our human race.
