Notes for 7/20/2008

By Mack D. Male ·

Here are my weekly notes:

  • I’ve tried both of the new Vivanno drinks at Starbucks – the Chocolate Banana and the Orange Mango Banana. I have to say the latter is my favorite.
  • Sharon and I went to check out Capital Ex tonight. No rides, but we did have mini donuts, a corn dog, wandered around the grounds, checked out Sip, the Birdhouse Factory, and of course the fireworks.
  • I have seen The Dark Knight twice already, once in IMAX, so I did my part to help it set the weekend box office record. It took in $155.34 million this weekend, and broke a bunch of other records too such as opening day and the total for an IMAX film. I’m going to write about this week.
  • Here’s the article on Obama that goes along with that very provocative New Yorker cover. It’s long, but worth the read.
  • Should everything taste like Bacon? You can make it so with Bacon Salt.
  • No surprise here – the Nintendo Wii has surpassed the Xbox 360 to become the best selling game console in the US.

    With the desperation of the GOP, all I got to say is watch out for snipers on the roof tops, they mat blame it on muslim extremist

  • Aimee Arsenault

    Raine Maida was fantastical. Too bad that you did not add that to your list of things to do last night.

    As this was my first experience of *insert ever changing name here*, I found it lacking in the whole experience. The only redeeming quality of the night was the concert.

    I find that when movies are given such hype, like The Dark Knight, my desire to see the movie decreases with every article, piece of gossip or pre-release tv special I see. The fact that you saw it twice, bought your tickets weeks in advance and stood in line for three hours to get a good seat means that perhaps I will eventually see this one – a month from now; if at all.

    We did check out Raine Maida for a little while actually, I should have mentioned that too. We only stayed for a couple songs tho. That sucks that you didn’t have as much fun as you expected!
