Scott and I went out

Scott and I went out last night. We went to a Mexican restaurant we call La Hurt Ya (because it's hard not to eat too much there), located where Cafe Santa Fe used to be before it went out of business. The food was really good. We rented a couple of movies and started home. We ran into Kristi, so instead of going home, we went to Terry's house and had some more food. Terry is always barbecuing something fantastic, so it was hard to resist. Then we went up and saw the house that Kristi and Bill are fixing up. It needs some work. Scott and I both sensed that it's a sad place, like the people who lived there before weren't happy. Houses do have a mood to them that you can feel. I'm sure once they fix the place up and move their own things in it will be better.

We got home at about 10:30, and the kids really wanted to watch Daredevil (Charity's choice). The movie was O.K. On a scale from 1 to 10, I'd give it about a 6. But what bothered me most may sound silly. I don't like it when characters that are supposed to be regular people (i.e. not super-human) can do super-human stuff. It didn't bother me that Matt Murdock could "see" by hearing. It bothered me that there was no explanation for all the other stuff he could do, like defy the rules of gravity. And the same would apply to his girlfriend Electra. Anyway, I just find it distracting. I can accept movies like Spiderman, because there's an explanation for what he can do. The same goes with movies like the Matrix. But part of Daredevil kind of reminded me of Mission Impossible 2, where people seem to be weightless and can just fly through the air. I don't know, maybe it only bothers me.

By the time we got to bed last night it was 1:30 a.m. The kids and I were late to church this morning because we were moving slowly, plus I got distracted by a news article about the bill S. 722, and I was busy writing to my Congressman, Senators and the President.
