Contest

Leave a reply

I’ve had pretty good luck with contests over the last several years. I won a contest, well technically I don’t suppose I won, but nevertheless I did get a pair of Nike shoes for Michelle. I have not been able to say anything about it, because I wanted it to be a surprise, but at the end of the movie Coraline it says “For Those in the Know: Jerkwad”. None of us knew what it meant, so I went home and did some google searching and found out that it was the word you needed to enter a contest on the official website.

The short story is that we won. I gave the pair of shoes to Michelle today and got a few pictures.

Movie

Kristy and I took the kids to see Coraline. It was actually Kristy who got the whole thing going and I just kind of tagged along. I have to say that it’s been hard for me to get motivated to do things on the weekend when I’ve often been staying up till the late hours of the night to get homework done.

The projection was messed up, so the screen was set about a foot (I’m really just making that measurement up since I have no idea of the actual size of the screen or anything) too low and even after I complained about it the matter was not resolved. This became really obvious, because at one point during the movie something is written at the bottom of the screen and we could not see it. We got three free tickets because of it, and that is good enough for me. The movie was still enjoyable and the children seemed to enjoy it a great deal.
