I think I turned my brain off this weekend, and I’m desperately searching for the button to turn it on this morning.  I did have a brief flicker of activity when I was driving in when I remembered that I was supposed to get a money order for work this weekend (which I did not do).  Plus I was supposed to get a new book of checks to put in my purse (because I need to write someone at work a check), and I forgot to do that too.  So I stopped by Kroger at 7:45 to get two money orders, and of course that section wasn’t open.  So I went ahead and drove to Brookshire and stopped by the post office down the street from my job, and of course (since it’s Brookshire), the post office window doesn’t open until 9:00 a.m.   So I’ll be running back out in 30 minutes to get two postal money orders.  It seems like the older I get, the more my brain seems to go on the fritz.  I keep looking in the mirror closely every day to make sure I don’t have blonde hair coming in.

So here’s my review of “Inglourious Basterds”:  bizarre.  Well, it was a typical Quentin Tarintino movie, so from that perspective it was completely normal.  There were some very funny parts in it, most of which came courtesy of Brad Pitt.  And then there were a whole lot of graphic scenes courtesy of the NRA, I suppose.  Mike Myers had a bit part which was totally strange because it wasn’t a funny part.  Thanks to Rex for a very nice evening – I promise not to tell anyone that you are a sweet guy.

I did see some interesting previews for upcoming movies.  The one I remember the most was for a movie called “Wolfman” (I think) that looks like it will be extremely cool.  The only strange part is that it is being released on February 12.  Ummm, just in time for Valentine’s Day???  It seems like a Halloween release would make more sense, but okay, I’ll go with it.  I’m not a big fan of Valentine’s Day anyways.

I must have had a bad dream after the movie Saturday night because I fell out of bed.  I haven’t fallen out of bed in a very long time, and that was a completely different situation which really isn’t appropriate to describe in my PG-rated blog. 

I had my fantasy football draft yesterday afternoon and was extremely surprised that I had drawn the top spot.  That meant I got to draft first, so I took Adrian Peterson, the running back with the Minnesota Vikings.  My other main running back is Marion Barber with the Dallas Cowboys.  And my quarterback is Phillip Rivers with the San Diego Chargers.  My back-up quarterback is Matt Schaub with the Texans – I had to have at least one Texan on my team.  The Texans play the Vikings tonight in preseason, so I’ll have to check it out and see how well Adrian does.

It’s time for me to head back to the Brookshire post office, so I gotta run.
