    A day off with a 5:20am wakeup call is not really not worth having. I’ll be happy to get back home for a nap.

    Found this new place called Chianti Grill in Roseville. It’s on the spendy side but food was good. Not going to be the standard lunch spot but now and then will be fine.

    • Who watches the watchmen…? I do.

    watchmen
    Saw the movie as a matinee and thought it was well worth the $$. Not being a huge fan of the watchmen or  the minutemen comics..  I’m sorry Graphic Novels I was still able to enjoy the flick..   Maybe something was lost by not knowing the background but so be it.

    Special effects were very well done and so was makeup..  Story was good and as far as I understand it did follow the original script pretty closely. All in all it was not a waste of 3 hours! Go see it if you like comic book movies..  ehemm..  I mean Graphic Novels.
