It Was Rated Aarrgh

So, I've been putting off my review of Pirates of the Carribean for almost three days now. Wow. This movie was a lot of fun to watch. Johnny Depp... seriously, they could not have played someone more perfect to play Captain Jack Sparrow. He was the classic underdog hero, who always in the face of danger, finds time to make a wise ass remark. I love it!
Too bad people don't find me as attractive as Orlando Bloom, although I think he looks better without the facial hair and he definitely needs the pointy ears. The movie did start to get a little bit on the long side, but I didn't really notice until I thought about it after the movie. But I appreciate the fact that movies are getting longer, after all, if you're paying $10/movie, why not get 150 minutes instead of 90 minutes?
Work all this week was a joke. The contractors did NO work at all. So I did about two real hours of work the entire week. Wednesday thru Friday was spent in the Bellmore field office, which is diagnally across the street from the Bellmore Post Office on Merrick Road (CR-27A). I managed to read Newsday for 4 hours on Friday, but I don't think I'll be able to reproduce that again, not without reading the sports section. Work should start again in Merrick around Monterey Drive again on Wednesday... concurrent with the resurfacing of Levittown Parkway at Newbridge Road (NY106). It will be kind of interesting to do a Concrete Valley Gutter across the intersection of a state road (not even the county!). The job site is right on the border of the Town of Oyster Bay, which is kind of interesting... since I work for the Town of Hempstead, OK, maybe it's interesting only to me, but interesting none the less.
I spent my weekend in Orient. I've decided I want to buy a house out here, because if you're going to do something, you have to do it all the way. That's why it makes sense. I'm next door to the largest city in the country, I'm in the country's largest town, and if you're going to buy a second home out east, it better be either Montauk or Orient, or don't even bother calling it out east.
Actually, anything east of Riverhead is acceptable. Although I think Mattituck is too commercial... I mean it has a Waldbaums, a five screen movie theater and a McDonalds, far too ritzy. That's living in comfort compared to the sticks of Orient, where the Post Office is attached to an ice cream parlor.
I almost want to get a subscription to The Suffolk Times, the North Forks premiere local Newspaper. The Suffolk Times covers the North Fork, which covers the Town Of Riverhead, The Town of Southold and The Village of Greenport. I'll have to think about it.
This reminds me that I have to renew my subscription to the Oceanside/Island Park Hearld. If I had uber amounts of money I would definitely get a subscription to Newsday, but I'll just have to settle for what's online.
Next up after this Caufield-esque party... Vonda! :)
