"But this is more than entertainment...
...this is the only thing that's real or true."
- Rise Against, "Entertainment"
We're in the middle of an entertainment frenzy here, folks. It's live music, it's blockbuster movies, it's wild animals...basically, it's family-sized fun in the sun.
As of last count, me and the missus have seen several cinematic stinkers (The International, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Duplicity) and encountered a couple of knock-outs (Angels & Demons, State of Play, Watchmen). We've heard some magnificent bands and smelled some tremendously foul smells at the hands of poo-splashing hippos. All in all, this is shaping up to be a solid summer. And the fun has just begun.
Lined up we still have the possible musical stylings of Ben Folds, Anberlin, Green Day, Gavin Rossdale, Third-Eye Blind, Incubus, and Augustana. And the rest of the must-see movies? TERMINATOR: SALVATION, bitches! Also, Public Enemies and Funny People are going to be note-worthy additions to the bright, flashing lights schedule. Plus, since we conquered the Los Angeles Zoo in one clean swoop, it's time to move onto bigger game: San Diego. (I've heard they have animal crossbreads. Hello, Kaola Penguins!)
Our ultimate goal is to be beaten to death with entertainment. But maybe that's just the optimist in me talking.
