Superman, Ballroom Dancing, etc. (imported from Myspace)

So, haven't blogged in a long time....must mean that not much is going on to stimulate my brain.....
Saw Superman Returns Saturday. Very pleased overall. Thought that it was much better than the originals. (Could be because I was never all that into Christopher Reeve. Too stiff.) Maybe it was the effects that I liked. Or maybe it was just Kevin Spacey - he's great. Not sure what I think about Kate Bosworth. I agree with Vicki - she wasn't quite right. I think maybe she didn't have enough spunk. Seemed too much "damsel in distress" and not enough "bulldog reporter". Especially when you add in that she is supposed to be a pulitzer prize winner. Maybe just too cute. Plus, her character is just such a jerk for the first 3/4 of the movie.
On another subject. Finished up our last ballroom dancing class for this session. Boy, was that a blast. We have had such a good time. We want to take another class in the Fall. They offer another beginning class as well as an intensive on the Waltz. I think we may need the beginner class again! I can tell some improvement, though we do need much practice.
Still haven't seen Cars. Argh.
Did buy another season of Star Trek: TNG. Season five this time. I love owning TV shows on DVD. It's great.
Computer is driving me insane. Internet is down AGAIN. Gotta get a computer repairman to come to the house this time to fix the internet. (It's not the provider - it's the cables.) I HATE it when things don't work properly. Which makes me tempted to retell my camcorder saga, but I will restrain myself. (For selfish reasons- it makes my blood pressure rise significantly.)
Oh, and yes, we have been playing Super Mario 2. You can't ever top the old games. We can't seem to beat 7-2 though. Frustrating. I wonder how I did it when I was a kid.....hmmmm??? (I am very impressed that I remember all the warps.)
