Field study starts

Garrett left today to start his field study. He just went to set up their equipment for a day or two and will be back for the weekend, but after that he is going for longer stretches of time. I guess that means I have lots of free time to get more work done? Hmmm...that's not really a plus, is it?

We went to see Invincible last night at one of the cheap theatres. This company called Empire has started buying all the crappy old theatres left around since Famous Players and Cineplex Odeon merged. I like competition, so at first I thought it was a good thing, but then I noticed they are putting absolutely no money into these theatres. The movie Invincible is actually a Disney movie (which we didn't know until we got there) so it was a little cheesy but very good for the whole family. I enjoyed it well enough - it leaves you feeling good at the end, which I like. But because the sound in the theatre was so bad, there were times when we couldn't hear what people were saying because the background music was too loud. It was a little bit annoying, and I'm sure the movie play just didn't care. Hey, at least we only paid $6.50 to go see it.
