Saturday we went to see the Dark Knight. My mom is the kind of person that doesn't really go for those kind of movies. One Mother's Day, we went to see Spiderman (the one with that green goblin) and the only seats were in the very very front or like somewhere else. So me and my dad were stuck right in front of it, which sucked. We left a few minutes through though because my mom was somewhat... scared. Anyway. So she didn't really like the Dark Knight. In fact, I didn't even really like it. For one thing, it was very very long. It just kept going, with slightly ridiculous plot changes and whatnot. This might turn into a rant, so beware. And I might accidentally like give away stuff, so be careful. I guess. How the hell did the Joker manage to be like hidden and go all around Gotham with no one noticing? How did he manage to rig two ships with oil barrels?!?! And the people just randomly did not check the boats before. And how could Harvey talk with like half his cheek burned off, and manage to move with that much pain? It was just... ugh. You could say I'm being too... expectant here. It is a frickin' superhero movie, but seriously. The movie did bring up important... points I guess. We had a discussion about it after the movie. So apparently the Joker wanted to prove that everyone would/could go "bad" because of human nature, and we're all just following the "rules" to like.. stay... in.. the rules... I dunno. But yeah. I mean, to a certain extent we could all just collapse. Human nature is complex. But it was just stupid because, you'd think that after all of those episodes with the Joker being an insane sadist, the people in Gotham would just... leave? But then I thought about what I would do if the Joker or some bad guy was in Ann Arbor. Would I actually leave? Probably, but then again you just want the Batman to take care of it. But seriously. And then I was thinking about how if you had a superhero in your town, it would affect your tourist rate. New York City has enough stuff to attract people, but seeing Spiderman in action or whatever could attract people to the city. Then again, superheros mean more criminals, so it'd be more dangerous. Whatever.
Zach turned 16 yesterday. It's sort of freaky. I made him a rather eccentric card. I don't even know what I was saying. But I liked it. Maybe he did, I dunno. Me and my bro are not close by any imagination. I might have gone into this subject already, so I will skip it I suppose for now. He really wanted to go para-gliding for his birthday, which he did. We had pancakes for b-fast and drove to Annecy, a cool town with their own lake. Zach flew around for like 20 minutes or so while I had a somewhat-spicy hot dog. I like the hot dogs better here, 'cause they're in baguettes. That's like... awesome. The guy put mayonaisse on it, which totaled to lots of vinegar combined with ketchup and mustard. I've had a bad experience with an overdose of vinegar (luckily the vinegar wasn't in my stomach), but anyway. Zach had fun sort of. He said it was only fun like the first few minutes. He sat in front of this French dude (Fabian Blanc, who was short-ish and had lots of energy) and got to control the para-pent for a little. There were like 10+ para-gliders out there total. I took some pictures and a video of his landing. Unfortunately, an unfortunate accident happened. To Zach. I'm not allowed to tell you guys, but I can tell you it was not pretty. Nuh-uh. Eww. He's ok now I think though. We went out for pizza after, and somehow we always went back to the subject of Zach's unfortunate happening. It was one of those things that was NOT appropriate for dinner, either. It was annoying. And I read the first chapter of Cider With Rosie, the book for my English class. That author is gee-double-you- gwood. Tres descriptive, and he has such good phrases. Anyway. My mom made a really good raspberry-chocolate cake, which had homemade frosting. It was good. Then I took a shower and went to bed, dreading the next day.
