Bearing in mind that I know perfectly well I’m getting what it says on the tin when I go into a Transformers movie, and therefore am generally okay with whatever I get, I’d say Dark of the Moon was distinctly better than Transformers 2, except it relegated the female lead to “object for hero to rescue” in a significantly worse way than the first two movies. Really, why not use a dog? It would cost less. They do, however, earn loads of points for (minor spoilers ahoy)
Bon Jovi!
I had a terrific time at the Bon Jovi concert. I’d gotten the “VIP Diamond Circle” package, because it cost the same as what I paid a scalper five years ago to go to a different concert, so I figured what the hell. It included a bit of swag–an actually quite decent bag, a program, a couple other things–and had a pre-show buffet and drinks and stuff.

it’s aaaaaliiiiiiive
I thought I hadn’t been blogging because I didn’t have time to sit down and write a post, but it seems I may not have been blogging because I’ve got squat-all to say.
