"Time flies.....

...when you're wasting it." - Dad :P

Hehe. That was said when we were laughing and joking after realizing it was so late. I think it's gonna be a new catchy line. :P  The time that was spent leading to tthat line?

• 11:30am - Dad picked me up and we headed to the restaurant for "breakfast"
• 12:50pm - Finished our meal and headed out to the Dollar Tree (in the same little shopping center)
• 2-2:30pm - After buying a few things, we headed to Sam's Club for some book shopping
• 3-3:30pm - Finally headed back to Dad's place and realized how late it was :P

I still don't think time was wasted, though, even if we did spend a lil longer at the Dollar Tree. :P It was all in fun. And there was more time "wasted" at the house too. I don't think we even watched anything. Just hung out. Talking and joking. I got some reading in. It was nice and relaxing. Kinda reminded me of the days when he and I would just go driving for an hour or so with no particular destination in mind, just enjoying the ride and talking. There had to be something to fill the time that I'm forgetting, because it was pretty late when we went to pick up dinner to bring to my place. But then "time flies". :P

Today, we started a smidge earlier. We went straight to his place though and he made nummy french toast. Num num nummy.... Watched Wall-E (2008) for the first time. That was a funny and cute movie. And then we saw (mostly :P ) Surrogates (2009), which was a good movie! While both movies were enjoyable, boy, do they ever paint the human race negatively.

In Wall-E, everyone turns into fat slobs who don't have to do ANYTHING for themselves and ride around on floating chairs all day long. I mean human contact was even foreign. After 700+ years of their "5yr cruse" they let bots do everything for them. Heck, they don't even have to chew food, it comes in shakes! I can only guess babies are grown in test tubes, since one scene displayed two people almost fllinching with that first touch of hands. Oy.... That's sad. That they allowed themselves to get that bad. What's more sad, it's actually a possibility. I mean think of how convenient they're making everything. It's not hard to imagine the human race taking it to that level in the near or distant future.

In Surrogates, practically everyone lives through these surrogates. Robots walking around so they can stay home and be safe in their bubbles. Okay, I see the appeal of wanting to have a better looking, better fit version of yourself out there. But in living their lives practically 24/7 like that, their actual bodies are just getting more and more sluggish. And I imagine weight gain for the "operators" is pretty high, though that wasn't really depicted in the film. What was so sad was that people use these things for so long, never leaving their homes in the flesh, that they actually need anxiety meds when and if they do have to go without the surrogates! That's just wrong.

Anywho, after our DVD watching, we watched the rest of the last Karate Kid movie, which was playing on TV. We picked up some KFC, and I swear EVERYtime we go there, the floors are always sticky! I was impressed that they were actually pretty fast this time, til we got home and realized why. :P They messed up the order. Dinner was deliscious though. Maybe next time we'll get what we ask for in a timely manner and not have to walk on sticky floors. :P

Twas a good weekend in my book!
