The long weekend is over, and boy, did we eat a lot of ribs! We stopped stuffing ourselves hours ago, and I'm still topped off. Ended the feast with chocolate brownies and some raspberry cheesecake bars. Tasty!
While we were too full to move, we watched the season finale of
The Amazing Race and the latest episode of
Falling Skies, but earlier in the day, I had finished up
The Next Three Days, which was surprisingly better than I'd anticipated.
Off to eat some Rainier cherries ....

We're lucky to have somewhat of an extended weekend, as the U.S. is celebrating 4th of July today. BBQ ribs and lots of fireworks are what it's all about.
The weather has been amazing for the past couple of days. It's warm but not sweltering, with a little breeze now and then to cool things off. We went for a hike on Saturday, and while it was equal in distance to last week's warmup, this one felt 10 times tougher.
On Friday night, we went to see The Green Lantern and while it certainly isn't "movie of the year" material, it was quite good.

We saw
Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and wow, that movie is seriously GOOD! I'm not sure why some people have negative comments or reviews on it. You won't find the meaning of life in this movie; it's nothing more than an amazingly good blow-sh*t-up action movie, with some popcorn on the side please!
I'm not really that big of a Transformers fan, but I do know an entertaining movie when I see one, and this surely hits the spot. Megan Fox isn't missed at all because if you see a movie with giant robots, tons of buildings blowing up, massive special effects, and a few jokes here and there, but all you do is watch the female lead, then you're in the wrong movie. Eye candy is nice — and don't get me wrong, she IS sizzling — but Optimus Prime getting his arm chopped off by Megatron is WAY better.
