Two quick topics this morning…

Topic #1: Closed Captioning

Anita and I went and saw the movie Taken last night for our date night. (Which, by the way, is a good movie. It’s fast-paced and has a good plot. It’s one of those action films that has you on the edge of your seat for 90% of the movie…giving you a few breathers here and there. It’s worth the $10). Anyway, I get to the counter to buy the tickets and the lady behind the glass says, “This showing has closed captioning; is that alright?” We couldn’t wait for another showing and it’s the movie we wanted so I bought the tickets.

Here’s the thing…you can’t not watch the captions! I was able to force myself not to read them for about half of the movie…but that other half had me reading instead of watching the movie. Annoying! Can anyone not read the captions? Anyone?

Topic #2: Daylight Savings Time

This one makes me want to move to Arizona. Why, oh why, must we mess with the clocks? On the way to church yesterday we were explaining DST to the kids and Kyle flat out did not believe that everyone changed their clocks ahead at the same time. “No way!” And he’s right, it’s stupid. All it really manages to do is make everyone look forward to “falling back” and dreading “springing forward”. Dumb. But I’ll be used to it in a few days…just wish we could stay on this time schedule forever.
