Stepan and I finally made it back to the movies last weekend. We tried to see Signs on Saturday, but it was sold out so we went to xXx instead. I'm now ready to join the Vin Diesel fan club...he's so cool and he seems to be a very likable guy - very personable. I liked xXx so much we went out and rented The Fast and the Furious when we left the theater - it wasn't as good as xXx, but it was still a lot of fun. Early last week, we saw him in an interview with Jon Stewart of The Daily Show. He came across as confident without being egotistical and very good natured. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for his movies.
We also saw Signs on Sunday. That was a very tense movie. I enjoyed it (Mel Gibson, M. Night Shyamalan....what's not to like?), but I certainly wasn't relaxed when the movie was over. That on top of the engaged encounter weekend at St. Louis made for a very exhausting weekend. I'm in desparate need of a nap!
