Amazon

Felice ordered a gift for her niece (our niece) through Amazon. Estimates had it delivered with plenty of time to spare for her birthday. Turns out the estimates are wrong, and the gifts haven't even shipped yet. You would think Amazon would let you know, but we had to figure it out by the absence of any thanks from said niece. Let's see how long it takes to get a reply to Felice's email to them...

You guys know that you can leave comments on the blog right? Can you leave comments?
That way you can insult me and my pathetic life.

We watched "Ray" yesterday. We started out watching the "extended version", but the lag between cuts when you watch it with the extra scenes really eliminated any dramatic import so we switched back to the theatrical release version. Oddly enough the movie defaults to the extended version even though it (the direction, or cutting) seems amateurish. We liked the movie, and Jamie Foxx is a great actor (and act he does!). I didn't like the way the movie ends with Ray kicking his heroin addiction, it's as if he wasn't interesting anymore once he got his life back on track. I'm as interested in how a person lives the 2nd half of their life as the first. A little more about the interactions with other performers would have been nice as well. Oh well, it's not like they made the movie for me...
