Great!

Jess and I joined her sister and brother-in-law in Marion for “Batman Begins” yesterday afternoon in Marion’s nice theater.
The movie was, in a word, “dark”. Seriously, that’s how I would describe it in one word. The fight scenes were so “dark” that we couldn’t even tell who was beating up who! Lot’s of the scenes were that way – where things were so dark that I found myself squinting just to see what all was taking up the screen.
Rich – my brother-in-law pointed out an obvious flaw in the plot: [SPOILER WARNING] In the plot, the “bad guys” are trying to use a water-vaporizer to send Gotham’s water supply into the air – after the water had been polluted with drugs. The machine they were using, designed by Wayne Ent., was designed to vaporize any water that was in close proximity. Rich pointed out that if this machine REALLY did work, why then didn’t everyone around this machine get “vaporized” if our bodies are approximately 98% water?! I told him that obviously the 2% of other-stuff is more important than we thought!
We left the movie VERY entertained! We were disappointed in the “romantic” storyline – in that Miss Holmes decided that she like the Bruce Wayne character more than the Batman he had become and said “maybe when you’re done saving Gotham we could hook up.” Seriously, what woman would turn down Batman?
Great movie – a must see for anyone who’s even thinking about seeing it!
Sweet, huh?
Matt VanKirk’s R/C truck is pretty much my truck’s DADDY, though. He ran circles around mine & ran mine over! ::SNIFF::
More pictures from today here.
Today was a good day. I was in the office just after 6:30 this morning to prepare for the morning services.
Jess’ parents came for second service and then immediately afterwards we all headed to Marion to Jaymie and Rich’s for some good times.
Let’s just say that Father’s Day was a “blast”. If you want to know more, and are willing to download a couple files, please e-mail me for the link to the stored video files of said “blast”!
I do have all of my fingers and am only missing a few hairs off of my right-hand thumb. Not bad for a day of fun with my bro-in-law, Rich!
I uploaded some pictures to my FLICKR album here.
After dinner and visiting, Mom and Dad Garrett headed home and we headed to the theater to see Batman Begins – full review soon, I promise. First impression: amazing!
Tomorrow I’m going in late to the office – I need to catch up on the day off I didn’t get this week due to sermon-preparing. I’ll try my best to get the sermon uploaded here for the faithful few to have at it sometime in the next day or so!
This afternoon I purchased a Radio Controlled Chevy Avalanche.
I got it from Radio Shack and it’s 4-wheel drive. Amazing.
It’s 9.6-volts, and it only lasted for about 15-minutes of full-on drive time on it’s initial 6+ hour charge. Hopefully subsequent charges will last longer.
I will take some sweet pictures of my new Avalanch R/C truck on Monday night when I unveil the monster after accountability!
After church tomorrow, Jess and I – along with her parents, who will be joining us for the morning service – will be heading to Marion to Rich and Jaymie’s house for the afternoon! We’re looking forward to the afternoon-away!
