Oy! It's been forevah!

Well, since I'm pretty sure only my family ever reads this thing, I don't feel too much of a need to explain my blatant lack of updates in over a month. Kris and I got married and it was fun and busy and taxing in every way imaginable. Anyway - I've recovered and determined to get back into this.

Here is my confession (and by extension Kris's confession also, but I don't think he'll mind).
When we returned from Saskatoon we had five full days to relax and unwind. We spent the first day unpacking, getting groceries and running a few errands. We spent the next 96 hours doing the following:
--Sleeping on average 10-11 hours/night ... A far cry from Kris's usual 7-8 and my 6-7. It was glorious.
--Watching the entire third season of Deadwood. We actually managed to rent all 5 discs at Blockbuster which is a miraculous occurrence.
--Watching the entire first season of How I Met Your Mother ... Hilarity ensued in short 21 minute intervals.
--Watching the first three-hour Battlestar Galactica Miniseries ... I was disappointingly underwhelmed.
--Watching Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer at the giant SilverCity in Gloucester ... In Kris's words this movies was utterly "forgettable", although I hadn't realized Jessica Alba's lips were so huge!
--Watching Mel Gibson's Apocalypto which was intensely brutal and I sensed likely somewhat historically inaccurate but I have no idea about Central and South American cultures so...
--Watching Nick Cage and Eva ManIhavenottalent in Ghost Rider ... We both agreed before renting this movie that it would terrible but boredom, I believe, prompted us to rent it anyway.
--I have also managed to watch the entire fourth season of Sex and the City late at night after Kris has gone to bed. Kris's constant running commentary and my hyper-sensitivity about and attachment to my girl shows would be, I think, a ruinous combination.

So there you have it. We spent 4 days watching television and movies, though I should note that we went for a few walks and a few games of darts. Some may find this horrid waste of time totally abhorrent but I, personally, am proud of our commitment to both our couch and 27'' Toshiba.
