Oh god, I’m filing this under tantrums & rants because I don’t have a “Pool of Tears” category (although, I should). What a weekend this has been so far.

Jeepers!

Yesterday our friend Alan came into Rotterdam for a minor “Movie Marathon”. All three of us have the Ulimited Movie Card so we decided to go see a few movies, since we can see as many as we want for “free”. First we saw Over The Hedge, which was hilariously funny and totally pic worthy. I won’t say too much …
