Memorial service for my grandmother was this weekend. We had a good turnout, and I think my father got the closure that he needed, which is good.
Saw Ocean's 12 - great movie! Very enjoyable, but I'd have to say I liked Ocean's 11 better. Still, well worth your bucks. I got really excited to see an extended trailer for Constantine - based off the Hellblazer comic books from the DC Vertigo line. I'll admit that I DESPISE the fact that Keanu Reeves, Mr. "Whoa, dude" is playing John Constantine (in the comics, Constantine is a conniving blonde brit that can charm the pants off a nun - Keanu Reeves is, well, Keanu Reeves); however the trailer made me feel excited for it regardless.
Saturday night I went to the New Moon Cafe in Oshkosh to see Dr. Kickbutt's Orchestra of Death - it was an awesome show! The band is about 10 or 12 guys and gals, and it's partly a jug band and also partly a ballroom and caberet band. It reminded me a lot of the Squrriel Nut Zippers. In between songs there were a couple people in the crowd (which are actually members of the band) who would crack dry jokes at the band, so it was partly a music show and partly a comedy show; it was a blast.
A busy weekend, but a fulfilling one. Hope you guys are doing well!

oooo we went to see ocean's twelve on monday, i loved it! i can't say i liked one or the other better, just because i liked ocean's eleven because it was just so damn good, it established the story, and i liked ocean's twelve because it built off that story and you got to know more about the characters and it was more complicated. but yeah, i loved them! i can't wait to see constantine, when is that supposed to come out? i can't remember.
