Something thought impossible.

This past Saturday I did something that I thought was currently impossible and wouldn't be done for a long time, watch a movie. Fiona took Jadon to the mall for some mother/son time in the morning right after we fed the girls and put them to sleep. That meant that I had a gap from 10:00am to 12:00pm or so. So I plopped in my recently purchased Aliens vs. Predators DVD.

-Although it doesn't come close to Aliens (#2), it was still entertaining enough for me. The brief premise of this movie (for those who don't know) is it takes place current day, Antartica. A private highly technological company detects a strong heat signature in the ice continent. They quickly dispatch a team where they find an old underground Aztec/Cambodian/Egyption temple. Their they run into Aliens and Predators. There's actually a lot of detail that I left out (why they are there) but I won't get into it. I have always been intrigued by this match up since I played the Aliens vs Predator game on my computer some years back. Some parts of the movie seem inconsistent with prior Aliens' movies such as the incubation period of the Alien host attaching itself to humans (significantly shorter amount of time in this current movie).

So I was able to watch this movie with a few interuptions. Occasionally I would hear one of the girls cry and I would check up on them (contrary to what Fiona thinks; she thinks I close the door and turn up the volume).
