Movie Day

Well Southern Man and twelve-year-old daughter lazed around the apartment all morning and ran around all afternoon but the bookend events were Paranormal Activity in the DVD player at Casa Southern Man in the morning and Paranormal Activity 3 at the afternoon movies (with Spy Kids 4 in between). So it has been a movie day. Spy Kids 4 was actually pretty good (the original Spy Kids are young adults and the new Spy Kids save the day, as expected) and was surprisingly touching in places. Both Paranormal Activity movies scared the living daylights out of both of us and daughter spent most of the movie hiding under Southern Man's jacket. And later in a stellar exhibition of raw mental prowess we spent an hour looking for a "fall fest" at a nearby church without success until we finally figured out that the advertised event wasn't until Monday night. So Southern Man feels rather foolish right now. But we are home and dinner (homemade chili and beer for Southern Man, canned ravioli for daughter - hey, that's what she buys for her weekend meals) is in the microwave and Southern Man had a long conversation with teen daughter who is up north at college and all is well with the world.
