Lazy Sunday

I didn't sleep in too much this morning but I wasn't in any hurry to get out of bed either.

Much of the morning was spent doing minor maintenance on my laptop and our square dance calling laptop, adding a bunch of recently acquired singing calls to the inventory. Backups are in progress too.

Dave R. from Baltimore dropped by for a few hours just after noon. Along with Debs & Jason, we headed over to the Tastee Diner for a quickly lunch, then retired back to our living room to vegetate and chat.

Shortly after 2 PM, Dave headed back to Baltimore while cuyahogarvr, kent4str and I zipped down to the Uptown Theater on Connecticut Avenue NW to see "The Dark Knight." It's an OK movie --once we got past 25 minutes of previews, that is. Yes, the movie runs a little long (2.5 hours) and is relatively violent but the majority of the violence fits the plot & character development and the story moves along briskly.

I'll now commit an act of heresy: Heath Ledger was OK. Just OK. He wasn't brilliant in this movie, it's not (IMHO) up to Oscar Award standards and he's not the best actor of our or any other generation. He was just... OK. Competent and his role well-executed. I thought Aaron Eckhard did a better job frankly, but it wasn't Oscar-winning material either.

I'm planning to spend the rest of the evening relaxing as much as possible, perhaps some minor non-work-related reading.
