We had plans to go away on our vacation but
the cost and recent large purchases made it impractical and if we are
not enjoying ourselves completely and worrying about the money we spend
then it's definitely not worth it.
Anyways, we were busy doing something. Saturday was relaxing day. We were planning to watch a movie but decided to stay in to really enjoy the weekend. Most of our Staycation was spend relaxing at home or going out to watch movies. We planned on three to watch but ended up watching only two.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Nate and I enjoyed this movie a lot. Interesting to note that the white haired dwarf on the upper right was Balin whose grave Gimli was crying over in The Fellowship of the Ring. This was when they entered Moira.
Geekiness aside, Nate and I are looking forward to the other parts of this trilogy. Should I dare hope that Peter Jackson might consider adapting The Silmarillion? I don't know. It's a small chance but I would love to see it.
The other movie we saw I had trepidations over seeing it. Quentin Tarantino doesn't hold back on the gratuitous violence. But overall I felt like it was just right. Except for one scene that involved a shotgun but I don't know if that is actually a possible result of being fired at close range.
Django Unchained
I loved Christoph Waltz's performance in this movie. He was awesome in Inglorious Basterds. Samuel L. Jackson stole the show though. I wont speak anymore of it as it is part of the story but damn he made my fists itch.
As the day plods on, we plan on baking some cookies, kicking Vermivorus the Invincible's ass, watching some Hellsing Vol. 1-4 and cuddling with our furkids. A great way to end our mini-vacation.
