All week my parents said that they wanted to go to a movie with me. Since today was the last day that I would be in town, we designated today as that day. I was not in the loop on movie selection (because I was still asleep :P) so they picked the Polar Express. They said that they had not heard anything about the movie (which I later found out was not the case), but they said it would be really good. So we went.

When I was little, my parents bought a book called "The Polar Express" which is about a boy who doesn't believe in Christmas anymore. I didn't make the connection until the movie started, otherwise I probably would have opted for a different movie. But I am glad that I didn't know. I loved the movie because it did remind me of the story, and the days when Christmas held more meaning to me than just an overly commercialized holiday. Beyond the story, the animaition was amazing. I mean, you probably have seen some good animation, but this was awesome! There were some points in the movie where I wasn't sure if it was live action or animation, and the voice talent was right on. Tom Hanks did some of the voices and he was good. I don't want to give away the story, but I would highly recommend that movie. Live a little... go see a movie that caters to your kid side.

After seeing that movie, we went over to a family friend's house to watch the BSU vs Nevada game. There was a lot riding on this game because BSU was going for their first undefeated season in school history, plus they are hoping for a bowl game. The big bowl games are worth abouot 14 million dollars, whereas the bowl that they already have an invite to is only worth 1.4 million. BSU did win 55-21, but we will have to wait a week to find out if they get into any big bowl games because there are a few teams that play next week. Idaho on the other hand... heh.. yeah. They got in invite to the "Lets throw this POS team into a bottomless" bowl. Yeah. Go Vandals.

And the Packers play the Rams on Monday night. There is not going to be a gimmie game for either side and I am looking forward to a good game. The Packers are still on a five game win streak (They are 6-4 and tied for first in their division), while the Rams have lost three of their last four (They are 5-5). However, last week's win at Houston was very sloppy for the Packers, with them bearly pulling out a fourth quarter win with no time left on the clock. This week they do have homefield advantage, and I think that that will throw the balance to the Packers. However, I still think the Packers could have done it in St. Louis.

Well its bed time for me. Gotta get up early to go home tomorrow.
