My first update in a while: Grampy and some movies I saw

    I have gotten a complaint that I haven't updated this in a while.  Well since the last time I updated this.  My grandfather, who I was very close to, was in the hospital for 5 weeks.  He came home last week and was on hospice care.   (Hospice care is when a person is dying and they are just made comfortable and the hospice people help you with pretty much everything).  He died last Friday at home surrounded by family.  It was really sad but he wasn't happy in the hospital and wanted to die at home.  He seemed very at peace when he was home.  Click here to see his obituary. 


    I saw the new Indiana Jones movie, oh god what a disappointment.  For a regular movie it was ok, but as an Indiana Jones movie it was bad.  Why why why why why did they have aliens in Indiana Jones????  Come on!!!  Or wait I'm sorry they weren't aliens, they were transdimensional beings. But still come on that alone kinda killed the movie.
    I also saw Tropic Thunder.  That was very funny, but not nearly as funny as it was hyped up to be.  It was definitely funny though.  Ben Stiller really wasn't as funny as he has been in the past.  Jack Black is usually so much more funny than that. I was disappointed.  I read a review of the movie Role Models (which I've also seen) that said it was really funny, but wasn't as funny as Tropic Thunder.  No I definitely think Role Models was way funnier.  That little black kid was so funny.
    I haven't really bought any Christmas presents yet.  I really need to get on that.  I applied to the Newbury Comics in the Solomn Pond Mall and they said they'd call me this week.  I hope I get the job then I'll have more money to buy presents.
