The wife seems to have picked up the DVD of the much talked about movie called 10,000 B.C. the other week, and I was not informed of the purchase, it appears that the DVD immediately got taken upstairs, never to be seen again by our children. I only just now found out about the purchase while watching TV and a commercial came on about the movie and I stated an interest in watching it, that is when the wife spoke up and said that we already owned the movie and that she would enjoy watching it with me, later that evening.

We made a mistake in deciding to watch this DVD in the bedroom, usually when we watch a movie at night while in bed, one or both of us would fall asleep and miss most of the movie, which surprisingly enough didn’t happen this time.

We should have watched this very slow moving and very dark and shadowed film in the living room on the large screen HD TV to have gotten the full effect of it all. There was a few times where there where sub tittles that neither one of us could read on the screen on our regular sized television set that we have in our room, so we were pretty much clueless on most of what was going on.

We have decided to give the movie another chance, this time on the large screen in the front room and hopefully this time it will prove worthy of the money spent on this disappointing (at this time) movie. It was so boring that neither one of us could believe that we were still awake at the ending of it. I think we were both trying so hard to figure out what was going on that couldn’t fall asleep if we had to.

With only one month left before school starts up again, the wife and kids are all ready looking forward to the up and coming holidays that will be here before you know it. Our youngest came across a website that has some pretty entertaining Halloween Costumes that has caught her attention, and has got the other kids looking at them also.

You have to understand that it is normal here in this house for our kids to wait until just a few days ahead of Halloween, to finally get in the mood and then they have us drive them all around town trying to find a costume at the last minute, and of course by then the selections are pretty miserable and shabby. Then the arguing starts and no body comes home happy.

So I am all for ordering the costumes ahead of time this year.  And I’m curious as to which ones they finally decide upon, time will tell.
