Yesterday (Monday) Brandy picked me up in the morning and we went over to watch Mark & Viki's kids for the day.
We took them to see Fantastic 4 at the Supermall. The movie wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, but it still isn't a very good movie. Some of my favorite parts include the fact that Mr. Fantastic -slash- Reed Richards uses a machine that makes him lose control of his stretchy powers so he collapses into basically a puddle of good. The next time you see him he's basically fine. I guess he just needed some bed rest to recover from ALTERATIONS TO HIS GENETIC CODE. Also, aftery they're exposed to the cosmic stuff at the beginning of the movie takes a few days to manifest their powers, but when the cosmic stuff is re-created in Richards's lab later in the movie the powers manifest themselves instantly. Also they changed Dr. Doom to be more like the "Ultimate Fantastic 4" version than the original (and much better) Dr. Doom.
After the movie we went to the Fife Pool so they could swim and Brandy & I could watch. I was getting plenny hungry by this time, so I munched on some marshmallows that I had brought in my travel kit. This gave me the jitters followed by the sugar crash.
Finally we took them home and had some lunch (a whole bunch of cheese for me w/a little bit of lunchmeat). The kids went downstairs and the two of us adults watched "The Look For Less" on the Style Network.
All in all the kids were pretty well behaved. More well behaved than I'd seen them in a long time. Sophia still cries at the drop of a hat (in fact, whenever she cried I'd mumble to brandy, "Drop of a hat.") even though she's ten frikkin' years old. You'd think she'd be over that by now.
Shortly thereafter Mark arrived and so Brandy drove me back home and picked up her DVDs and book (Le Petit Prince) she'd let me borrow when I was less mobile.
Later on that evening Carrie picked up Steph and the two of them went to the airport to pick up Erin, home from New York for a few days (yay) so she can pack her stuff and move over there on a more permanent basis (boo). The three of them came back to our house and Erin told us hilarious stories about her psycho roommates and how her life in New York really is like Sex and the City.
On an unrelated note, I'm scheduled for my second and (hopefully) final belly surgery on AUGUST 2nd, which is ONE WEEK FROM TODAY. I have plenny of bags to last until then, so I'm all set.
