Grout Munchers

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

I recently tried to find out if ants can eat through tile grout like it appeared ours had but I had no luck. It just seems so unlikely and yet I really don’t know how else they could have ended coming up through there. I don’t think they just happened upon and really well rounded hole that was really close to the kitchen. I suspect it was by design but it’s really creepy to think that not even the hard tile is a barrier against these wretched invaders.

Couples Retreat

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

I squirmed in my seat and laughed at the same time. There’s nothing like seeing a guy in a neon blue speedo rythmically shove their crotch into another person’s face. So Couples Retreat turned out to be much better than I thought it would be going in. I’d heard that it was depressing but it’s actually relatively honest and more polite than you might expect. I liked the character interaction even if Jason Bateman’s character annoyed the heck out of me.

What I thought was going to be a waste of time but better than seeing a horror flick ended up being a movie I might actually see again. Call it the sleeper hit of the early fall.
