It was a good weekend. I got together with Harry and Liz on Saturday. We spent some time at some relatives of Liz's, and I was impressed with their salt water aquarium. They had some interesting shrimp and some colorful salt water hermit crabs. Later, we saw The Golden Compass movie. The scenery and fight scenes in the movie were amazing. We had dinner afterwards at the local Chili's.
I understood why some people felt The Golden Compass movie was a subtle stab at the church (or at least the Catholic Church): the mysterious Magisterium (not sure I spelled that right) did had a church-like base of operations and wore outfits similar to robes you would expect Catholic priests to wear. Certainly, their use of the word "heresy" invoked thoughts of the Crusades.
Other stuff: Friday night, I watched about half of Bewitched (the Kidmann movie). I did some ironing and read the rest of one of my "Star Trek: the Next Generation" books. Saturday night, I taped most of an episode of "Chuck." I tested out a wireless controller I got from Harry a week ago for my PS2 today. I also watched an hour of The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring today.
