I was really looking forward to going to bed early last night. Melinda and I had just put the kids to bed and then we were waiting for Mat to get home from play practice in order to be able to go to bed. Mat strolled in at 9:30pm after having swim practice until 6pm and then play practice until 9pm. Melinda asked him if he had homework and he said, “yes, I have to make a boat.” This wouldn’t have been a big deal, but he has had 5 days to do it and he waited until 9:30pm the night before it was due. Then, when asked, Mat had no idea how to make the boat. Well, I guess I don’t get to go to bed early anymore. Melinda, Mat and I stayed up until 11:00pm to make a boat out of cardboard, masking tape, straws and hot glue. It was really quite interesting and a little embarrassing to create the boat we did, but I guess that is what you get when you wait until 9:30pm on Monday night. If he had more time, that boat would have been shaped from a block of wood with the Dremel. Oh, the dreams I had. Oh well, at least it is over with.
In other news, check out this CNN article. How cool, Godzilla has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. All this after he won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the MTV Movie Awards a few years back. There wasn’t anything too funny in this article, I just found it mildly humorous.

On a similar monster note, I read a Newsweek article with Peter Jackson and his two cohorts about the filming of King Kong curretnly going on in New Zealand.
I just think of the remake of Godzilla and what (despite what people think) a mess that movie was. It had the potential to be much more.
Jackson said he is filming the movie as if it was a '30s timeframe (opposite of Godzilla moving into the present) and all the characters will be involved. Sounds like good stuff. Anything this guy touches is going to turn to gold now. When you pull off what he did with LOTR and have it make over $3 Billion worldwide, I'd say you can claim to have done something right.
Godzilla has a star onthe hall of fame!! i dint know that!! thats cool. Maybe i should have one.....anyways thats cool. Go godzilla.
