Saw the Transformers movie last night. It was double-featured with Evan Almighty at the drive in, so we thought we'd toddle over and see it.

And it was pretty cool. We were thoroughly entertained. Just...leave your brain at the door, because it's monumentally stoopid. More stoopid than the new Die Hard movie. They'd make a great double feature together. Big dumb action movies with big dumb plots and big dumb set-pieces. I liked the Die Hard movie better.

FWIW, Da Boy (who is six) enjoyed Transformers as well. We were hesitant about letting him watch it because, you know...scary robots doing a lot of property destruction and people getting hurt, but he thought it was really cool and thinks we should buy the DVD. We told him to save his money. *snerk*

Evan Almighty was just as awesome the second time around. More so--because there are anteaters at the end that I didn't notice on the first viewing. *flails*

We're gearing up for the Seattle trip. I checked the weather, and the highs are going to be somewhere around 75. This is 25 degrees cooler than what we're getting here in SLC. We might need jackets! Hee!

And Da Boy just came in and informed us that there was a garter snake in our front yard. Lo and behold, there was! It went into the bushes before I could get a pic of it, though. This is the second snake we've seen in our yard; the other one was in the back. HOW COOL IS THAT???
