Pirates of the Carribean is the best movie this summer, bar none. I loved the Matrix, and I liked the Hulk, and there were any number of other decent movies out this summer. The Matrix, when paired with Reloaded, may be a more interesting movie, but PotC will have been way more entertaining. Johnny Depp deserves an Oscar for his performance as Jack Sparrow. No one else would have pulled it off the way he did, and he takes the movie from a really entertaining summer blockbuster to something great. Even at over 2 1/2 hours, the movie never felt long at all, and every minute of it is worth seeing.

Spent Wednesday drywalling the downstairs, and after a few mishaps, managed to figure out how to properly use the hole cutter. Whee! Things just come together slowly. What can you do? Also starting to try to actively get more exercise during the week, rather than just swimming on every or every other weekend. Tuesday mornings, I go for a swim with my old housemate, and recently, been doing pushups, and using our elliptical machine. I can get only about 10 minutes on the elliptical before my knee starts feeling funny, but that’s 5 minutes better than a month ago, so I suppose it’s an improvement. Knee also feels a lot better when swimming these days.

Debating getting some sort of home gym. With new tires for the Mini necessary soon, and a part on the Mini needing to be replaces (the shift linkage that broke a while back), spending a couple hundred might not be the smartest thing to do. But we’ll see, I suppose. There’s a lot of exercise I can do without weights, so I should be doing that, first. Which, I suppose, I am.
