Tuesday night
Well the Woody Allen movie held my interest and while it was a good movie, there were some glaring flaws. One major one is the ending, where it seems the moral judgment is approving what obviously are horrible crimes. Another is the fact that whenever there is a "heavy" sort of emotional scene, Woody started piping in this horribly old music. For one of the first times, I actually believed I could direct a movie and do a better job. Having said all that, I do admit it was a solidly good movie and it kept me intrigued throughout. I would recommend it, the acting was mostly good though I still remain unconvinced that Scarlett Johanassen is a great actress, she is cute absolutely but I think her part was too easy to play and just so-so.
The theater was in Evanston and had quite a large selection of snacks, including some kind of "kettle popcorn" which was delicious, and also they had swedish fish candies. Also, inside the theater there was quite a bit of leg room and the seats were huge, which made it very comfortable to relax and enjoy the film. Also, paramount to anything else was getting to finally spend a good amount of time with B and speak with him before and after the film.
What really touched me and was very very cool was when I got home both N&J were in their beds though they had been waiting for me. So they both told me they had missed me, gave me hugs and kisses, told me they love me. J had left one of her favorite stuffed animals on my night stand next to my bed and she told me he was waiting for me and she wanted me to hold him when I went to sleep! So I was very happy they waited for me and that they had missed me so much. A was enjoying some movies downstairs in the basement and was in a good mood as well.
So it is kinda ironic because while I enjoyed getting a break from my family when I returned and witnessed how very much they had missed me I was both touched and felt (as I occassionally do) that I must strive to live a great life and be an amazing dad. I feel I must be doing something right and doing an ok job so far for them to be loving and missing me so much. What a great feeling it is to have your daughters hug you tight and tell you how much they missed you!
