STAYCATION - DAY 3

Oh boy. I am really cooking in the vacation mode. Woke up early (6am is sleeping in for me!) and went to Dunkin Donuts to grab the paper and coffee. Came back, slipped on my 1997 Walkman and walked the Boulevard while listening to Teddy and Meredith. Don't ask. It's just some sick way of still working. They did a fine show today and I was thrilled I wasn't there.

Then I showered and headed to the (ready?) DMV to renew my license and get into the digital world. I went to the DMV at the Maine Mall because I heard that the lines are shorter.

Nope.

And I must say, I'm not sure why the DMV attracts the most unattractive people (me included) but it does. I picked a number and waited for 14 people to take care of God knows what. About an hour later I renewed my license in 3 seconds. I can't wait for that digital photo to come in the mail. I look like a doofus.

Then it was off to see "The Dark Knight"...finally!

Here we go. No one ever posts comments on my blog, but this will probably spread like the Collins video. I LOVED the first hour and a half of the movie and thought the last hour was completely useless and pretty much ruined the movie.

Not sure what the hell they needed over 2 1/2 hours for, by the time that movie was over I was soooo grateful it was over. My God. Could it be longer, could it be more depressing, could you show me Two Face's face anymore? I just LOVED the movie up until The Joker was caught and put in jail. Then it just dragged on and on and on and on and on and on! I know. I am the ONLY person on the entire planet who thinks that. Oh well. And of course Heath Ledger is getting the Oscar - he was amazing.

I liked "Tropic Thunder" better. Now...let's see if THAT gets a comment.

Stopped on the way home to a place called "Laknoia Greek Olive Oil" on 575 Rte One in Saco (it's just before the connector to the Turnpike). It was amazing. Picked up 70 dollars worth of olives, olive oil, salad dressing, oregano, Dolmathes and Spanikopita! A sweet little Greek family owns this new business and I am thrilled that I've got my parents Christmas all figured out!

I liked "Lakonia" better than "The Dark Knight".
