So my last day of the year started out innocently enough, with me finishing up some uninteresting, non-blog-worthy tasks. That was until I went down to Sylvia and Rodrigo’s house in fog-encased Chula Vista. We watched a couple of episodes of “Mad Men<\/a>,<\/em>” and then had pizza for dinner while playing a few rounds of Rummikub. Then we watched the “Red Bull: No Limits<\/a>” live, world-record double jump that happened here at Seaport Village<\/a>, with Levi LaVallee<\/a> on snowmobile and Robbie Maddison<\/a> on motorcycle. They both set their world records without any mishaps. Then we sat down to watch a couple of movies on Netflix<\/a> before midnight. We first watched “True Grit<\/a>“<\/em> with Jeff Bridges. All three of us loved it. I thought it was very smartly written and very well acted by everyone. A very believable movie. We followed that with “Limitless<\/a>“<\/em> with Bradley Cooper and Robert DeNiro. I’m really starting to like Abbie Cornish<\/a>, ever since “Sucker Punch<\/a>.”<\/em> She may end up on my island. All three of us really enjoyed this movie as well. Also well acted by everyone. After midnight we putzed around for about an hour before heading off to bed, with me upstairs in the studio, saying good-bye to what seemed like a very active year. I am honestly looking forward to what the new year will bring, starting with a buttload of new calendars.<\/p>\n
