I love the movies

I’m really excited about the upcoming movies that will be playing in the local theaters this summer. I’ve already seen Ironman, it was terrific. I’ve been a long time fan of the comics, and I went to see the movie with my step-son who only knows a little bit about Ironman. We both left the theater with the same impression; it was an awesome movie with plenty to offer for hard core and casual fans alike.
Indiana Jones is coming soon – I can’t wait! I have all of the Indiana Jones movies on DVD, and watch them frequently. I know I’ll love this next movie, and I’m sure I’ll be buying the DVD when it is released, too!
My wife and step-son want to see Narnia, it was released this weekend. I’ll probably take them to see it and tell them I’m only doing it to make them happy (trying to win brownie points) but I want to see it just as badly as they want to see it!
The Incredible Hulk sequel is coming out in about a month. I was personally disappointed in the original; however the sequel looks like it might more interesting. My step-son and I will probably go see that one.
I heard that the Sex in the City movie is coming out this summer too. None of us have ever seen the TV show, I don’t know if we will want to see the movie or not. I know it was a popular TV show, but with the price of gasoline, and the rotten economy, we might just wait for this to come out on DVD and rent it.

I’d like to buy a few of the movie posters that are for sale on the website http://www.postergods.com/movies-posters.html.  They have a great selection of prints and posters for these, and a lot of other movies for sale at that website.  They will give free shipping within the US if given the discount code BBM8.  

Need to replace shrubs

Filed under: Business, Garden, General Living — Copa @ 5:10 pm

Last summer I planted eighteen shrubs in a row.  Unfortunately a dozen of them had to sit in the hot sun for about a week before I could get to them.  I kept them watered but they really should have been put in the ground with mulch around them.  In the past, by keeping them watered I never had a problem.  So I finally got them planted.  This spring I noticed six of them were really dead.  Two others didn’t look very good either. 

I called the nursery; they asked me a bunch of questions (as usual) I sort of faked it and they told me to bring back all of the old shrubs that didn’t make it and they would replace them.  That’s pretty nice of them!  So this weekend I will replace the old shrubs with new ones, then my line of shrubs will look great.  I’m glad because the neighbor stopped over last year when I was planting them and thought they really looked great.  It was funny how he was so quick to mention that some of them were dying this year.  Unbelievable!  His don’t look that great!
