Movies, Holiday Shopping, Snake Feeding, and Chili Cooking

Friday, Megan ended up crashing around 9:30Pm :( So, I ended up watching two movies: Waist Deep and Road House 2. I wasn't expecting much from Waist Deep, so it was actually better than I thought it would be. Road House 2 was so bad that it was actually enjoyable to watch. They made a lot of references to the original Road House like "I thought you'd be taller" and "Your dad was wrong, pain does hurt". Corny as hell, but entertaining.

Saturday, Megan and I took 3 of my Blockbuster online rentals to the actual Blockbuster (map) store to exchange them for new movies. Blockbuster has this new Total Access thing were you can exchange the movies that you get in the mail for movies in the store. It's pretty sweet, but I've been overloaded with movies because of it. I think I'm going to downgrade my account to 2 movies at a time instead of 3 movies at a time. Anyways, we ended up getting Monster House, Superman Returns, and Feast. The only one we've watched so far is Monster House. It was pretty good. The computer animation, especially with the grass and house, was really impressive. The Feast is a horror movie Megan heard about from some guy in the elevator at work. It's supposed to be pretty gorey -> looks like it's about cannibalism or something.

Watched KU play another mediocre game of basketball against Toledo at Kemper Arena (map). At least we won I guess.

Hung out at Marsh's during the evening with some Blue Moon. We ended up going to a friend of Grant's, Libby, wine party for a few hours. They had awesome cheese dip. 'Nuff said.

Today, I ran all over the place, while not watching the Chiefs lose, and got most of my Christmas shopping done. Yay! I think my timing was perfect, because of the game I didn't have much problems making my purchases. Don't get me wrong, there were still a ton of people out though.

I picked up one live rat and one frozen rat for Biscuit (my snake) today. I think these were the biggest I have ever fed him. His head looked so expanded when he was swallowing it:

Feeders are expensive up here in KC. I must remember to get a bunch in Derby when I go home for Christmas. There less than $2 there but there like $5 up here.

Megan and I prepared some Deer chili to cook in the crock pot all day tomorrow. I have no idea why we made so much: more than 3 pounds of ground venison, onions, 4 cans of beans, 3 cans of tomatoes, and one can of tomatoes juice, and chili seasoning. We've had this venison for a while from Megan's dad and really needed to use it. We still have more than 3 pounds even after making this. It better be good because there's definitely going to be a lot of it.
