Waterworld

Finally watched Waterworld last night. Boy, that movie really sucks. Now, don't get me wrong, it's not like I consider the movies we've made to be pieces of high art. It seems to me like they just thought, "Hey! Let's do Mad Max on the water!" Which, in itself, may not be that bad of an idea, but you don't do it as the most expensive movie ever made. If they'd instead tried to do it as more of a mid-range budget and threw in a lot more T&A, it'd probably done a lot better. To date it's grossed around $255 Mil. That would be a pretty good return if they hadn't spent $175 Mil to make it.

On a related note, Dee started swimming lessons this week. She'd been in a pool once before when we went up to the Amstutz's for Mother's Day. She did a lot of clinging to Mom & Dad that day and her first swim lesson wasn't really any different. On the second swim lesson Dee had a lot more fun and Terri got to be the nervous one. In this lesson, the swim instructor takes Dee under water and keeps her moving so water won't go up her nose. It's Terri's job to look happy and supportive when Dee comes up out of the water. Not an easy job when the only thing going through your mind is, "SOME STRANGE WOMAN IS PUTTING MY BABY UNDER WATER!"

Also, we're meeting with the buyer's agent again tonight to start our house search in earnest. He says that we should be able to find a house within a couple of weeks.
