I worked on the WoW a little today…in the car…on the way to the Pecan St. Festival.
On the way home, TH was REALLY enjoying the new car, so I had to put the needles down for a bit to hold onto the handle Audi had the foresight to provide. :)

Then we had a friend over and watched Boondock Saints 2.
Now, I discovered Boondock Saints (the original) a little behind the curve when Netflix recommended it to me. It is a GREAT film. It has everything I like in a movie:

• Quotable Lines
• Good soundtrack
• Cute guys (bonus points b/c there is more than one AND they have cute accents)
• Shooting
• Bad Guys get what’s coming to them
• Happy Ending

The last two are separate bullet items b/c sometimes the bad guys get what they deserve, but you don’t get a happy ending (think Braveheart).
And I thought to myself, what is it about me that likes a little gratuituos violence? I’m not really a violent person. I don’t think I even believe in spanking….I plan to make my kids weed flowerbeds or come up with creative punishments that fit the crime….assuming we have kids…but that’s a separate blog topic entirely.

I decided I have no idea. I think it is a means to an end? or do I feel about guns the way some ppl feel about fast cars? who knows. I like the bad guy getting what he deserves and preferably a happy ending for the two cute guys. :) So, BDS 2 was a good movie. I think I’m going to have to watch the first one again to decide which I like better…..and I’m hoping for a third installment in the not TOO distant future! :)

In other news, a friend said I’d gone from zero to knitting queen in about a year……what a lovely compliment! :) I’m writing it here, so I can recall it the next time I want to put a knitting needle through my eye b/c I’m so frustrated with something. :)

Happy May, everyone! :)
