Hobbit

The Hobbit was good. I had low expectations after seeing many of the previews, but I liked it. A little long, yes, but they are gonna squeeze every last dime out of the franchise.

Had lunch at  Rincon Criollo on Saturday. Authentic. Heartburn. Can't wait to go back. Checked out a few local shops. That neighborhood has really made a nice comeback.

Pic of me below from last week's Plain Dealer. Someone at work pointed it out. Surprised me, because I was walking through the board of ed. office when someone said "hey I saw you in the paper the other day". "Me?" "huh?". Had no idea, especially since I haven't been to the casino in almost 2 months. So she goes and finds the article (I've since become a celeb over there lol) and yup, there I am, only that pic was from around the time the place opened back in May. I remember them making an announcement that if you didn't want to be photographed, you might want to take a break. No one really left. So anyway, they must have went to their stock pics and pulled this one out.

Browns lose. Steelers also lose, so that's cool too. Weeden looked awful yesterday.

Another tragic school shooting on Friday. Nearly as awful were the news crews shoving microphones into the faces of 6 year olds as they exited the school where their friends were massacred. Then come the calls for gun bans. As if the first AWB actually took any guns off the street or prevented shooting sprees. Meanwhile, someone in China stabbed 20 kids at a school. I'll be first in line to hand over my guns if I can be guaranteed that I will not be the victim of violence for the rest of my life.
