dogma & atmospheric phenomena

Today started off slow, but by the late afternoon the action had begun. Laura said people were meeting at the lake @ 1PM, but I was the only one who arrived there at that time. I went to Laura's to rouse her, but she wasn't home. I returned to Long Lake only to find her, Brianna & Lanky there. It was quite windy but the sky was a lovely shade of blue... I only went to about mid-calf in the water, but the others all went in at one point. Met Aiden & Spencer I think, siblings, but I don't know if that's how to spell their names.

Geoff & Alleah never showed up at the lake; however, we did call them at their respective houses and made them come over. Geoff & I were hungry at the time of his arrival, so we made (with the help of Laura) another thing of pasta--the sauce was again ridiculously excellent, and the noodles well-cooked. The sacue:pasta ratio was also good. Alleah arrived just in time to eat with us.

Pretty soon Laura's mom decided to make dinner (meal #3) which was excellent wraps. We cleaned everything up afterwards, and sat around for a while deciding what to do. Alleah wanted to call people & hang out, but instead we went to the park and swung on the swings. Then we decided to rent a movie, so we walked to the video store (because I, of course, am not ALLOWED by parents to drive people & Laura likes to walk). On the way we found a Smirnoff Ice box, which Alleah wore upon her head, and a 'SOLD' sign on the ground. What would you know but a realtor accosted us later on and took the sign away; she didn't believe we hadn't stolen it.

Fast forward to the video store: I proposed "Robin Hood: Men in Tights," but was over-ruled by the "Robin Williams Live on Broadway" lobby. It was out, as I predicted, and I was forced to laugh because of said out-ness. In the end we rented "Dogma," because it had Matt Damon, Chris Rock, and Jay & Silent Bob on the front.

It turned out to be a very funny movie. Though the ending was weak, the first half was very good. There were some priceless little scenes strewn throughout that I highly enjoyed, though at the end the movie was less random because they had to make reference to previous things and tie it together. All in all the plot was pretty chaotic but everything was somewhat interrelated and interconnected. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

After Rogers video, we went to Save-on to get bulk candy. It was, as usual, rather inexpensive--I can't believe people wanted to buy food at Rogers. Walking home, we saw the aurora borealis overtop of the mountains behind Laura's house. I didn't know it was visible in this area, but it was quite a breathtaking moment, and we watched it for quite some time. I also bet Alleah that Julia Stiles was in Terminator 3, because I distinctly remember seeing her in the previews; however, it turns out she didn't end up in the movie and I lost $2.00. But that's life. We ended up starting the movie at 11PM, which was quite foolish.
